Dulwich Hamlet FC 2013-2014 season - chat, rumours, reports

[editor]

A delightful 4-2 win today, a big crowd, some great singing and a magnificent banner.

 

[editor]

And here's how the league has shaped up. Hornchurch lost, Wealdstone lost but Maidstone won, as did Kingstonian.

Just got off my flight and checked the score. Buzzing in Melbourne now.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLL

Attendance seemed higher than 688 today at home against Wingate and Fincley
but regardless looked good

our average at champion hill is now 631 and third highest behind Maidstone Utd 1798 and Wealstone 650

That really does seem low. I'd guessed it at 760.

how about somebody knocking the highlights of the season into A5 booklet say 10-20 pages
photos with blurb (unless someones writting a book again)
I can print up colour x100 copies

Some lovely, lovely photos there. Superb.

 

[Tricky Skills]

A bit of a slow burner with a decent away goal on the break. The second half made up for it. This is how I use to think attending a football match would be like as a six year-old - minus the booze, obviously. It's just taken 37 years to find the reality.

Nonsense words, a few pics.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Great game. Even better follow up, with apologies to Wetherspoon's neighbours.

Think I was something of a state by the time I got home.

 

[girasol]

The score was 4x2 Tricky Skills, yr blog says 4x1 there were a lot more people around on the second half, I think some possibly got in by unaccountable means, which would explain the mismatch between official attendance and real attendance

Great idea!

I had fun, even though the pink, blue, orange and black strip combo did make my eyes bleed.

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

The official attendance was given as 668...absolutely gutted. The Club should have knocked two off the gate. How great would it have been to have an official attendance of 666? ;-)

Came a cross this great quote

"Without a banner, they will call us a rabble.
With a banner we march with a reason.
Together many banners gives us strength.
A sea of banners and we are a movement."

However, they still call us a rabble at Champion Hill - and we are proud to be pink & blue

 

[EDC]

I'm sure the crowd was over 700, there must have been over 30 babies and 3 dogs (not mine yesterday) to add.

Still failing to get into a fucking photo.

 

[Taper]

There were loads of babies and young uns there yesterday. Is Champion Hill the Cerne Abbas of non-league footer I wonder? Or does the voodoo stick have fecund properties?

I enjoyed yesterday hugely. Back to proper Hamlet. Chaotic, creative, deadly in attack (for a short while). And the crowd was jumping in the second half. What a club the Hamlet is. I'm in love with it, having not really given a crap about football for ten years. Notts County does that to a chap.

I'd vowed to put my dog (the whippet) down yesterday had they lost as I'd persuaded myself she had hexed the club on its recent poor run. But now she is reprieved, pending the charge towards the play offs.

And respect to the Wingate and Finchley fans. What a splendid bunch. Will be a shame if they go down. But then again I thought the Enfield fans were sound too.

 

[EDC]

She's a beautiful wippet, my daughter loves her.

Yesterday was great, behind the goal was rocking and I was sober. Dulwich is a unique experience and I hope it continues, should the form drop and the club have seasons of mid-table obscurity against the same old teams it'll be interesting to see what happens, I think the support will just grow and grow.

However, if drinking on the terraces get stopped, I feel it could have a negative effect.

it's your whippet! i love whippets! but she's never there when i'm there is she friendly to random drunken whippet fans?

It is a very friendly whippet. As is the owner

 

[EDC]

Maybe we could have a dog day, let them join in the fun.

Seconded. Even if he did ask me if I came here often.

Labrador-retrievers are best though. Acorn very much enjoyed the singing and especially the chips.
