Today's weekly copy of the 'Southwark News' highlighted are high-profile fixture this coming Saturday, against Hampton & Richmond Borough:

HAMLET WANT RECORD CROWD AT WEEKEND

Dulwich Hamlet are hoping to break their own Champion Hill attendance record on Saturday as they invite fans to pay what they want to go through the turnstiles.
The venture is part of 'Non League Day' where semi-pro clubs aim to take advantage of the fact that no Premiership or Championship games are taking place due to the international break.
With England playing on Monday fans kicking their heels on Saturday are being invited to Champion Hill where they can give what they wish at the gate to watch Dulwich take on Hampton & Richmond Borough.
Any contributions, once game costs have been covered, will be handed over to two homeless charities supported by the Mayor of Southwark, namely The Robes Project and UK Homes 4 Heroes.
The record Dulwich Hamlet attendance at Champion Hill took place in the 1998/99 season when a crowd of 1,835 came through the gate to watch an FA Cup encouter against Southport.
A spokeman for the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters' Trust, who have worked on the idea with the club owners Hadley Property Group, told the News: " It's an ambitious target to get that many people through the gate but wecan do it if we publicise it enough. We had over 1,400 here at the end of last season sowe think it can be done. We would say to people who go to Championship or Premiership games usually to come and give us a try. You will notice a very different feel to the game. There is no segregation so fans happily mix together and there is no animosity between supporters. You can also switch ends at half time, so you are always behind the goal we are attacking. You get treated like an adult as you can have a drink and bring it down by the pitch whilst you watch the game."
A march, organised by Hamlet fans, is also taking place on Saturday to promote the game and the club.
The spokeman added: " A group of fans are walking together from the north west corner of Peckham Rye, where they are holding the Peckham Rye Fete the same day, and we will be leaving about 2pm. We will be led by a local band, the Relatives. We want as many Hamlet fans to come along and join us as we walk to the ground. Wear your best pink and blue! We want to publicise the club and the game, and hopefully we will pick some supporters up for the game along the way."
