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

That steward is Man City Tony and he is not too bothered about people falling over as long as they have not injured themselves

Yes Tony is a first class steward !!

Good to see the Supporters' Trust out in force this weekend. The rumours sound pretty grim, especially regarding Champion Hill. The non-league team I used to follow back home had to fold because a fire left them without a ground. They shared with Accy Stanley for a year but had to stop after Stanley got promoted to the Football League.

Obviously, Great Harwood Town don't quite have the history or support of Hamlet (even if I did see them in the halcyon days of Matt Derbyshire) and there are far more non-league grounds around here, but it's been on my mind has to how quickly things can deteriorate: Harwood had won the league only a year before too.

On a not much brighter note, how the hell was that not a penalty in the last minute on Saturday?

That was a one-off offer for the boxing day game against Grays to entice people who waste their money on corporate professional football to come and have an affordable day out that they can actually enjoy. I don't know how successful it was but our first home game of the new year gave us one of our biggest crowds this season.

Is no one going to Margate?
I'll have to make a lot of noise if it's just me.

I'm actually, truly, seriously contemplating an overnight stay for this one.

You should - Margate's ace. Had the nicest chips I've ever had there. Truefact.

No way I can get all the way out to Margate on time - work in Putney

Totally robbed on Saturday Hopefully Yannick will improve, but it's a team game: making our dominance in possession count for more will help, plus cutting out the defensive mistakes. Easy really!

Tempting as it is, domestic responsibilities prevent a visit to Margate editor - have fun. Shame it wasn't a Saturday game really - in May or August!

Me and Joe are pondering a trip to the Turner Contemporary in Margate tomorrow. (Joe's not a member of the forum, but he is a lurker on this thread. Hello Joe!!!)

Does anyone know what's happening with the attempt to list Champion Hill as as 'asset of community value'?

Seem to remember a tweet from the Supporters Trust saying a decision would be made in Nov 2013…

Tricky Skills

It was successfully listed but then the owners appealed against the decision so it's up in the air. Or something like that.

Good luck tonight. Enfield are at Hornchurch - wild optimism says we might help you out a bit at the top of the table. We even won a game the other week! Madness.

 

[editor]

Kick off delayed due to the team being stuck in traffic. So more beers in the pub for us!

0-1 and it's fucking freezing

 

[sleaterkinney]

What are the rumours then, I thought we had a lease till 2015?. Pm if you don't want to put it up here

 

[editor]

0-2. A total clanger from the goalie again. Oh dear.

 

[editor]

It is indescribably cold on the terraces. Second half coming up!

 

[sleaterkinney]

Is that 0-2 as in 2 to the away team?

No as in to Margate. Hamlet have just pulled on back though!

 

[sleaterkinney]

Yannick in the goal of Dulwich
Yannick on the streets of Margate
I wonder to myself
Could life ever be sane again ?

And the back pass that you just played
It says nothing to me about my life.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Margate down to ten now. Still 2-1 though.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

2-2!

 

[magneze]

2-3!!!!!!!!!!!!
