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

[editor]

I wondered who was making that racket It was a great atmosphere on Saturday - even a fair bit of singing too.

You should have come over and joined us and done some banging duties too! A mild mannered looking bloke jumped up on the stand behind us and added his own thumping too, so we got a fair racket going

I'm struggling here. What is that poster supposed to be symbolise?

The dog is a statue that sits at the top of Dog Kennel Hill (or at least it used to, it seems to have disappeared at the moment, although it also disappeared last year and then returned again). I guess the sheep is something to do with Maidstone.

Maidstones "most famous tourist attraction" apparently. Cracking game on Sat, I was down with Porno myself. Maybe see you on Tues.

Come and join us for a hoarding thump at the end

They're done by larger-than-life local eccentric and DHFC fan "R. P. Molloy-Vaughan" [https://twitter.com/vornstyle] and they seem to get wackier each time. This one was a bit of a pisstake over the fact it is a massive top-of-the-table clash - so he stuck and dog and a sheep on it, presumably to signify the hope that Dulwich will give Maidstone a good herding tonight, locking them into the pen of their penalty area

Ok, roll call for tonight, who's coming? I've got a few mates who are gonna pop along and maybe Ms Hatter....

[magneze]

I can't really make this. Another time.

 

[stevebradley]

I'd be all over this if I didn't have a feckin' meeting this evening. Grrr...

Hope the Hamlet do the business in front of a big crowd !

Against modern football.

I'm struggling too much with this fucking weather after just returning from 2 months of sunshine. So I don't think I'll be able to handle this. Best of luck to em tho....

That is the worst excuse ever. Man up!

It's practically snowing outside. A week ago I was watching boca juniors in buenos aires. In 30 degrees. You would think that timing my arrival back in the uk for late march might have guaranteed not freezing my bolllocks off every time i leave the house, but no. It's 1 degree. I realise I'm a total wuss but I'll be definitely heading to see these guys play when it warms up a little.

Here. Try one of these. They're awfully good and ensure that you don't miss out on fun nights out in less than balmy weather.

 

[Chilavert]

Can't this evening, but will come down to a home game before the end of the season and hopefully meet some of you reprobates.

 

[shifting gears]

Regretfully I'm not gonna be able to get away from work until at least 7.30 tonight, making it a no-goer

But as above will be keeping an eye for the next few fixtures (not this Saturday as in working then too) and definitely making one of them

 

[not-bono-ever]

will see if I can get along, bu Scotland are playing at 7.30 as well

Would it be rude to do the you'll see better football at the Hamlet joke?

*legs it*

 

[not-bono-ever]

given the recent run of form, I think it is a perfectly acceptable point to make. Will see if I feel up to it as KO time in Serbia approaches

 

[editor]

I've done a little feature to big up the game:

They have a big screen in the bar. I expect it will be showing the England game, with the occasional Scotland update!

Yes - the snow is the white stuff
