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

Ace I hope he turns out good then. Daniel Carr's not had much game time and I haven't seen him play, so I really couldn't say. He's well rated I know some premiership teams had their eye on him but he needs loaning out. We've got one of the best strikers in the championship in James Vaughan and we often play him up front more or less on his own so I'm not sure he's gonna get much of a chance this season.
 
"A young 18 year old Stuart Pearce played for Wealdstone"

was that the same Stuart Perace whos brother was allegedly BNP activists (SP always stated he himself was not a rascist)

Important that we get the facts and good DHFC are always seeking the truth, while always challenge rascism and fascism where ever it raises its ugly head

No Pasaran

Hope Not Hate

Missing first home game of the season -

Build it and they will come (on and off the pitch)

Pink & Blue Army

Regular tweets and Brixton Buzz full report would most welcome
 
Seriously. We're talking about our team potentially getting racially abused for 90 minutes.

in all seriousness i don't know what we can do without being macho wallys. extra stewards and a robust policy of offender removal? will we (the rabble) even be able to hear it from our end if it happens?
 
Great result for Dulwich Hamlet FC
3-0
Hearing The "Rabble" in full voice _ but concerned about "alleged" damage to vodoo stick

Look forward to Brixton Buzz full report and pics - Pink & Blue Army march on

..........and the walls came tumbling down
 
A decent win and great to see us really get into our flowing attacking football in the second half. We're on our way to Wembley ;) I'm pleased to say my two mates who I brought today for their first ever DHFC game are well on their way to being hooked and want to come back again.

The Leatherhead goalie was a good sport too.
I thought he took it particularly well, especially when a 7 year old kid was berating him for most of the game: 'you're not tall enough to be a keeper' and 'how old are you keeper?' !! :D
 
I might have talked about this on here before, but I used to work with a lad who played for West Ham youth, and got let go when they were relegated in the early 2000s. He would fairly regularly play in front of thousands but then signed for Hornchurch or someone out that way and said it was a fucking nightmare for the abuse/banter as the crowd were so close.

Must be something you have to get used to, I spose. Fair play. I'd probably end up doing a Cantona.
 
Apparently the Leatherhead officials boycotted the match! And they are compiling a dossier of our online insults to give to the league and FA! Hilarious!

Dulwich Hamlet FC - guaranteed to stir the emotions
 
Our insults are a thing of verbose beauty and articulation. It's about time they were compiled into a dossier. So thanks Leatherhead officials, and "fuuuuuuck off Brady!"
 
They are apparently also contacting the police. Expect the officers from Operation Gimpmask to take you in for questioning.
 
With the cool head of hindsight, I hold my hands up. "keeper, you've got no badge" was probably overstepping the mark, and we all a duty to stamp out badgism in the modern game. Good lord, just as well noone called them dirty cheating bastards.
 
I understand excellent article re Dulwich hamlet attendances in Saturdays program, could somebody post it up here if possible (even as a jpeg)

Nunhead F.C.

NunheadCrest1.gif
Formed as Wingfield House FC in 1888, Nunhead FC is a club that became a victim of the Second World War. Ceasing day-to-day operations in 1941, the club survived on paper until 1949 when it resigned from the Football Association and officially folded.

Many football clubs didn't use any club crest prior to the war, but it is known that Nunhead FC had used at least two different designs by the mid-1930s.

The crest displayed top right first appeared around 1934, being visible on a team photo from the 1934/35 season. It's simple shield design shows a scroll featuring the letters 'NFC' (standing for 'Nunhead Football Club'). It is believed that this crest was in use until the club's demise.

From 1927 (and possibly before) the club used the crest shown to the left. A different shield shape shows the letters 'NFSC' linked together across two coloured sections (thought to be the club colours of blue and white). There is uncertainty as to the meaning of the letter 'S' although it probably stands for 'Sports' as the football club was officially just one section of 'Nunhead Sports Club' at the time. (In 1930, however, this umbrella organisation was wound up and the football section's assets and liabilities tranferred to a newly created Nunhead Football Club.)

Nunhead Football Club was a non-league giant of its day. Champions of the Isthmian League on two occasions (1929 & 1930), the Surrey Senior Cup (1908) and the London Senior Cup (1923), Nunhead's best performance in the FA Cup was reaching the second round proper during the 1926/27 season.

Bizarrely the club still holds a unique double record of being involved in the two record victory matches by non-league clubs in the FA Cup competition proper. Nunhead beat Kingstonian 9-0 in the first round match during the 1926/27 season, before suffering a similar 9-0 defeat at the hands of Bath City in a first round encounter five years later.

The club's most famous ex-player is Dennis Compton who represented Nunhead during the 1934/35 season before moving to Arsenal FC. He then went on to represent England at both football and cricket (although his eleven football caps were omitted from official records as they were gained during war years).

Thanks to Mick Blakeman, Author - 'Nunhead Football Club - 1888-1949', and Dave Twydell of Yore Publications, for the above crests and information.

After a recent podcast on the need for football to embrace morbidity, I'm thinking of planning a 'Day of the Nundead' march from the Seventh Day Adventist church on Ivydale Road (it used to serve as a secondary entrance to Nunhead FC's ground). Beers, firecrackers, sky blue cardboard coffin, voodoo stick, tenuously changed chants. Do it before a Dulwich Hamlet home game and we can end up at Nunhead's final resting place (they groundshared briefly). Any of you fancy it?
