Dulwich Hamlet: Their original ground was a good stadium for amateur football, they used to get large crowds in the heyday and I believe hosted England amateur games on the odd occasion. My Uncle supported them before and after the war. I saw one game their as a kid and was surprised how decent the ground was, shame that got changed.
A good financial deal for Dulwich, but hard to get too excited, especially as the new ground is much the same as the current one, i.e. one main stand/clubhouse, and basic facilities on the other 3 sides
It’s a National League South team, what were you expecting?!

There not a club looking to be in the Football League, I think they'll be happy being a NL South team for the foreseeable, the stadium looks perfect for them
I’ve been to a couple of games as my best mate is a fan. Enjoyable day out. It’s where I’d go if the worst came to the worst.
Not the ‘other place’ that some might expect ;-)
I went there last season when Dartford played Dulwich. Pleasant enough, but not a lot of atmosphere as it felt like a lot of people were just there for a chat with their mates over a beer, rather than because they were passionate about the football itself.

Yes, felt that too. Good bar though, and one or two decent players.

They certainly hosted some International games and I saw them play a friendly against a Fiji (I think) side who played in bare feet

I have not been over the last 12 months for health and covid reasons but the atmosphere previously was brilliant. Maybe the prospect of relegation and a string of poor results dampened enthusiasm.

I was there for the last match before lockdown (normally get to a couple a season, may be significantly more soon!) and the atmosphere was great.

Unfortunately, it's all tied in with a fly-on-the wall documentary, which doesn't seem too great: https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/peter-crouch-lands-brand-new-24378515.amp
Feels like a bit of a circus.
