Dulwich Hamlet director: It feels like the league are against us

DULWICH HAMLET, one of the clubs featured in our series on left-wing football clubs last year, have been fined £8,000 and slapped with a suspended eight-point  deduction by the National League for not fulfilling fixtures.

Dulwich are in the National League South, the sixth tier of English football.

In February they told the National League that playing the rest of its games could put the “long-term future of the 128-year-old club at risk” due to the cost of fulfilling fixtures, adding that the matches could also put staff and players at risk of contracting Covid-19.
