Excitement is a buzz this weekend as we continue our friendship / freundschaft with the fans of Altona 93 in Hamburg. The red, black and white of Altona has been seen regularly on the terraces of Champion Hill; and many Dulwich supporters have visited the fantastic Adolf-Jager Kampfbahn in the west of Hamburg. The two teams play each other for the first time since the 1920s on Saturday, with a late kick off at 6pm.

The Intercity 125 fundraising campaign kicks off the weekend TONIGHT at the Ivy House pub. The headline act are The Relatives, and they will be supported by And Other Nihilists. In between the acts will be Inbetweener with a spot of poetry. All Dulwich Hamlet fans of course! We are also pleased to have two DJs from Altona – Georg and Tim. Brixton Buzz’s Mike Urban will be on the decks to finish the night off.
