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

how many teams go up dp?

The champions go up automatically. The next 4 go into play-offs. I think its 2-legged semi finals (5th v 2nd, 4th v 3rd) and then the final is at the ground of the team that finished highest in the league. Hamlet got to the final last year against Leatherhead. It sounded like a great gane - Hamlet 3-2 up and Leatherhead equalised in the 8th(!) minute of injury time. Then Leatherhead won 4-3 in extra-time. I missed it to watch West Ham lose to Wigan

Footballers with their brains in their pants, etc.

We had a lovely time here this afternoon - really good game too. We also had the most enthusiastic supporter by far with us I reckon. Every time we go we think we should go more!

what was the score??? I lunched it...still in bed at 3pm today!

ETA: Couldnt wait so looked it up 3-1 the hamlet! Puts them is 2nd place, only one point behind Whitehawk, so could still go up this seasons as champs

yes... they scored the 3rd goal in the 4th minute of injury time - which was 4 minutes long. It was very exciting. Gaijinboy looked at the Ryman table thing though and said the scores don't add up properly and/or is inaccurate somehow... I didn't really pay much attention to what he was saying but I'll ask if you like.

Poor first half from Hamlet in my view - much better second half. Enjoyable game overall, and a good goals-to-entry-fee ratio

Though the Hamlet's No 10 (Kevin James ?) had the worst attitude I've seen from a player in over 25yrs of watching live football. He was like a stroppy teenager throughout the game - always making a fuss to literally no-one but himself over nothing, constantly strolling back on-side very very slowly after an attack etc. He's clearly one of their better players, which is why they pick him, but he spent most of that game yesterday being a prima donna (even if he did score). A few other people around me commented on his attitude as well. Shame- as the team have a lot of real battlers who he could take a few lessons from re work-rate.

Fingers crossed for the final game !

Bollocks. I've got a photo job lined up for that evening. I would have loved to have come down for this.

i went a couple of weeks ago. Dulwich were top of the table then but managed to put in a really poor performance against Whitehawk, losing 2-0. That game cost them the title and certain promotion. I really hope they do well in the play offs because they were so unlucky last year.

oh we want to go but I'm not sure we could bring our toddler to this - although it would be VERY exciting...

 

[not-bono-ever]

I will likely pop along on tuesday & combine it with the weekly shop!

 

[ska invita]

Cant make it either, but come on the Hamlet! If they win any details on when and where the final is played? Neutral pitch?

I haven't been able to find any details for this season but last year it was at Leatherhead because they finished ahead of Dulwich. So, using the same logic, if Dulwich win tonight I reckon on Saturday afternoon they play Bognor in Bognor or Godalming in Dulwich.

 

[ska invita]

Come on Godalming!! need a home game for the final...Saturday probably no? bank Holiday weekend too

 

[gaijingirl]

oooh.. they won 2-1 I hear! Where/when is this final... be great if it were Sat locally...

 

[Thaw]

Yup, it was a good game and Dulwich deserved it. Sadly, Bognor beat Godalming on penalties (after a 4-4 draw) so the final is in Bognor on Sunday.

Bognor?!? Bognor?!? Bollocks.. would've like to go but that's a bit far sadly. What a great shame!

 

[ska invita]

...you know what, its a bank holiday weekend, so watching it rain in Bognor might be on the cards!!

 

[ska invita]

Any news? Its like a media black out on the net at the mo...

 

[southside]

I live in East Dulwich Road, I haven't heard anything yet.

*taps fingers impatiently*

 

[ska invita]

I thought the match was yesterday - theyre playing right now! Running scores here http://www.bizilinks.com/scores/index.php
Bognor 1 - 0 up at half time \
not sure how reliable that link is

 

[ska invita]

Looks like 1-0 FT bah

 

[gaijingirl]

arse...

 

[Onket]

Just had a quick google to look at the ground. Their old one (now sadly long gone) looked incredible, apparently held 20,000 too. Great stuff.

THose days shall return.........

 

[porno thieving gypsy]

Gutted - so close...

 

[Brixton Hatter]

really disappointing result after a great season. Seems they just ran out of steam in the last few weeks of the season. Poor old DHFC - being a Luton fan, I know how it feels. I'll be back next season though....

This is the old ground, before it was rebuilt as part of the Sainsburys development in the 1990s:

So anyone fancy the first game of the season tomorrow? Ramsgate Town.

I've never been before but fancy giving it a go.
