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

[all to nah]

That sounds like you got so close to a great triumph! I hope the protest is successful. As far as I know, FIFA rules would state that you rotate through the whole 11 before repeating peno takers, but haven't a clue how rules differ between nations and competitions, etc. Good luck!

Thanks a lot!

It's the same rule in Germany, of course! And there is a "must" and no "can" in the rules, but some experts say
the "procedures to determine the winner of a match" are in the rulebook, but not as part of the football rules (see p.7). On the other hand a match in easter germany was replayed because of this, last year - we'll see...

1000+ on Saturday I reckon.

I'll be there!

(And need a place to drink in the morning - the Brick Brewery sounded nice in your stories?!?)

It's sort of annoying that it seems that the big crowd we took to Wealdstone helped then leap above us in the average attendance totals for the season (not that I'm that bothered!).

Maybe a big crowd on Saturday may change that.

The difference over a season would be 770 people - we didn't take that many so you can rest easy.

If we want 1,000 down at champion hill
we need to get promoting

need to tell everyone

Someone has already posted on the East Dulwich Forum, that should bring a few of the enemies of real football down.

Looking on the Hornchurch forum (I've had my eyes off the euro match since the start) it appears there has been a storm on twitter with Stefan Payne in response to alleged 'fan abuse'. He was red-carded. Apparently we nearly signed him in the summer and we could have done with his goals. Thankfully we have our own house in order and dreaming that we can get the result that we need on Saturday.

No doubt I'll be shattered from my exertions in Feltham having made my debut for the supporters team. It's hard to say no when you've had 8 Tyskies, that is strong shit. Can I wear my hat for protection?

Fantastic footage

Nigeria's second goal v Marine Crosby at 2:43 is a cracker from the edge of the box - Oztumer-like

Also Dulwich's goal is a long range cracker too.

Just showed Ms Hatter the footage of a packed Champion Hill. "Amazing, look at all the people!" she said. "Where's the bar?"

Yep!

Been on the case for weeks already! I reckon Kingstonian should bring a few, given it's only a short trip. Here's hoping for the biggest and loudest crowd of the season.

If we bring a goat to sacrifice, does that get counted in the attendance stats as well?!

brick brewery 12.30 meet then on Saturday then

Yeah, go on then. Seeing as it's 3 minute walk from home.... ;-)

Club bar then Fox on Hill after... No matter result. Triangle out front is prefect for a sacrifice.

Three more sleeps

Only if we do not get ahead of ourselves and sacrifice it before it has paid to get in

That twitter stuff with Stefan Payne is mental!

[Brixton Hatter]

Any other Brixtonites / locals fancy a visit to Champion Hill this Saturday for the last game of the season? It's gonna be a cracker!

There's gonna be sun, beers, singing….and hopefully goals, celebrations and a post-match goat sacrifice in the garden of the Fox on the Hill

Provisional yes from me, subject to finances.

Baby allowing, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
A football match.
What's happened to me?

Do I bring back the gospel-esque shake of the tambourine or go for the satisfying clunk of the cowbell?

Cowbell is easier to keep time with, is quiet when you're not playing it, and is more robust

MOAR COWBELL

Cowbell is easier to keep time with..

I'm guessing you haven't been at many games when cowbells have been present. Oh the humanity!

Attending a Hamlet match is on my list of things to do this year. It would be another achievement unlocked. Like the prices. I'm in.

 

[Crispy]

Yeah but at least when you hit the thing, it makes a noise immediately. Shaking a tambourine is a skillful business in comparison

 

[Dulwich Mishi]

From memory there was no sign on roof, that could be just repairs!!

Indeed. the roof never had advertising. The marks are, my guess, 'shrapnel damage' from the War, which faded away over time.

I have those skillz.

Those tweets, as follows (note - contain robust swearing):

FUCK IT WHY NOT BOTH and a drum.

But no bloody trumpet!

I shall bring my maracas.
