Huge pink and blue props to everyone who contributed to making tonight happen. That was pretty ace. Workmates who sat in the stand have left exuberant and pleasingly bemused by the dhfc experience, vowing to return.

That was a brilliant night. Thanks to everyone who made it happen, and to those who turned up to support it, and to Clapton FC who turned up in massive numbers and got behind Stonewall FC. Score unimportant. I think this should be at least an annual event! Peace comrades!
It's not a program! This is England. There was a 'one of special programme...copies will still be available from the Trust Megashed at the next home game, if anyone wants one. It was a glossy 16 page edition, not bumper, but very good. The designer & the printers both gave their services for free, so every penny made from the copies sold by Duncan went to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, who were the chosen benficiaries for the night by our opponents, Stonewall FC.
It would...but you have to bear in mind that pre-season games are arranged, in the main, for the benefit of the management & honing his squad for the coming season.
Call me 'old fashioned' if you like, but I'd like to thank EVERYONE who made the game possible, and to those who attended!

Really enjoyed last night, was a lovely atmosphere, even the girlfriend who is extremely anti football ( she had a pink and white scarf so close enough really) said it was a really nice place to come to and would possibly come to home matches. She liked the rabble as well, the songs she absolutely adored. A keeper I say!
Crowd in general were really nice too, if I stuck to the higher leagues of football, even with Fulham who I consider quite a liberal club, a friendly like this might never of taken place because of opposition. Yeah we might of won by a few goals, but as I said on twitter this was a massive victory in the eyes of the footballing world and a great representation of how gay supporters and footballers can be just as accepted as the next Wayne Rooney/SHREK lookalike. Huge credit goes to all those who organised the event and everyone who turned up. Would gladly go to another friendly fixture for the same cause.

I can't wait for the next time you make a spelling or grammatical mistake.
Something like "one of special programme"
or
"one off special programme"

Has there been an official attendance announced? I'd say maybe 500?

It was given as 369, a figure all teams in division other than Maidstone, Margate and ourselves would be above average for midweek league matches. Not bad for what was essentially a strong reserve team playing a friendly.
Anyway what time are we facing off at Bury town on Saturday? Three o'clock as usual?

little tear at the end.."Theses are the moments when football is bigger than just a game. And this week, in a small corner of south east London, it happened again: football stood for something. It mattered."
