Archive chat from 2007: Dulwich Hamlet FC. Anyone fancy going on Saturday ? (Aug 2007)

Scrappy but we won!

2-0 to the Hamlet

 

[Lucy Fur]

Are you there?

Yep, I'm here, 2.0 in the end. Scrappy game and the ref was genuinely shocking, but we won!

 

[Brixton Hatter]

5 games left.....win them all and the title is ours

 

[Lucy Fur]

A much calmer away support than Tooting, but still vocal! Early first goal settled things and for the first half looked like another was soon to come, but alas, we had to wait a torturous second half, when to be fair, Faversham were looking the brighter side. All I could do was go for a piss, which a bit like sparking a fag at a bus stop, guarantees a bus, so too mid stream I heard the cheers go up and we had clinched it 2.0. Danny Carr was on the touchline, rested for Tuesday I guess, so bring it! See you all there.

He went off with an injury last week so maybe it's not quite better yet.

I met Dulwich fan "Vornstyle" (https://twitter.com/vornstyle) at the Thatcher death party in Brixton last night. In an amazing piece of coincidence/telepathy, he designed this match poster on Sunday night, before Maggie karked it...

(This is an actual quote from Thatcher as well.....)

I'm sure most of you know this but just in case... Their Facebook normally has videos of all the goals shortly after the games.

I love watching a good goal back when you get home

And that poster above is fucking ace

 

[Brixton Hatter]

And that poster above is fucking ace

I'll have to introduce you to its creator next time we're both at a game - classic guy

Uncertainties over the future of Champion Hill after 2015

This doesn't sound good

That is deeply worrying stuff.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

yeah the rumbings about this were going on last year when the holding company went into admin.

The building of the Sainsbury's back in '91/92, which replaced the old ground and created the new one, is at the root of these problems I think.

It looks bleak - the land will be worth a lot of money. You might hope the local council can be persuaded to let them build next door...but this currently doesn't look likely.

 

[Chilavert]

Due to a change of plans I think I'll be able to come along tomorrow.

Excellent. I'll be there tomorrow. It may rain, but the title is within our grasp

 

[editor]

I suspect my hangover will be magnificent but I have every intention of cheering up on the pink and blue army in - lordy - 10 and a half hours.

 

[editor]

5-0 to the Hamlet! A wet afternoon in Champion Hill sees Dulwich Hamlet go top of the league.

 

[editor]

I was going to go to Luton v Newport, but I'm thinking I may be up for Leatherhead away on Tuesday.

Takes about an hour to get there. Anyone fancy it?

 

[Chilavert]

Well that was enjoyable!

Only got to the ground just before kick-off and then realised I have no idea what either of you two look like. Will try and get there earlier next time and leave myself enough time for some pre-match beers.

Not sure about tuesday.

There's a supporters trust, http://dhst.org.uk/ which has more info about the ground.

I reckon four of us should team up to sponsor a match this season or the next. We get to hang out in the boardroom!

That would be great!

 

[editor]

I wrote to see if they've got any sponsorship slots left this season. Or we could get our own billboard!

[editor]

There's no sponsorship deals left this season but we can pick a game for £99 for next season. If there's four of us, that's only £25 each and we'll be helping out the club. Or shall we go for a more permanent presence and get a billboard?

 

[editor]

The effects of my recent football starvation brought on from the Cardiff fiasco are making me act a bit funny. I actually still want to go to Leatherhead tonight.

 

[editor]

I fancy I'm going to be the lone Brixton representative at tonight's game!

Come on the Hamlet!

 

[gabi]

It's probably about 8 degrees out there. And dropping. And pretty windy. I will definitely make it down at some point though!

 

[editor]

Turning out to be a bit of a grudge match this. 0-1 down but a good Dulwich crowd.
