Katrien has demanded all fans bags are searched on entry to the ground - that's for the conspiracy theorists. Dulwich used to allow fans to bring their own alcohol, I believe that they are not allowed to to do this anymore and there fore in addition to the bar have set up a beer tent near the entrance. However, to ensure no fans bring their own, all bags are being searched at the entrance. Being a hipster club flares are allowed but not the ones you throw.

...is the answer. What sort of club would search pencil cases?
Dulwich used to turn a blind eye to people bringing cans in, but when crowds ballooned people started taking the piss - even taking in boxes of 24 Stellas from Sainsbury's next door. They're also trying to negotiate with Southwark Council about getting an outdoor bar set up; so they're trying to keep their noses clean and have banned people from bringing in their own booze.
The downside, though, is that Dulwich's bar set-up isn't very good; they struggled badly with a crowd of 600 against a Norwich XI on Tuesday. They used the poor Charlton attendance from last season as a benchmark, and staffed accordingly...
Hopefully they'll sort it for Tuesday, but yes, expect a quick bag search if you come down.
...and yes I do know it's spelt surreal before you pedants post!
