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

[Brixton Hatter]

Do you guys know about the DHFC jukebox? For £10 you can pick ten songs to be played before kick-off and during half-time. I'm doing it for the first league match a week on Saturday. http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/we-want-you-to-choose-our-tunes-865967.html

I am so gonna do this - cheers

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Roll call for the Palace game then?

I'll be there via several Brixton pubs and hope to be bringing Onket el-ahrairah RaverDrew Pants Man and Badgers

anyone else?

 

[editor]

I'm there!

The traditional name for the league is the Isthmian League - with a Premier Division, a Division One South and a Division One North. When sponsors started coming in in the 80s/90s, the leagues changed their names, hence the sponsors are Ryman at the moment. (I prefer the original league name - when I update the honours on my DHFC flag, I'm not gonna call it the Ryman League!)

I believe sponsorship started in the 70s, and was connected to the formal introduction of professional status* to the Isthmian League. In fact, it was apparently the first league to take a sponsored name (Rothmans in 1973), a rather inglorious honour. And, yeah, I call it the Isthmian League (even though I can barely pronounce it!) cos it's a delightful name and I don't like dishing out free advertising.

* = According to The Hamlet Historian, when he was interviewed on the South London Hardcore podcast episode on DHFC, even during the Isthmian's amateur years Dulwich were the only team who actually stuck doggedly to amateurism/cheapskatism by not indulging in unofficial payments/freebies.

I'm slightly concerned about Palace bring their first team, this could be a bit of a freakshow event.

Bring your voodoo stick. That will unsettle them.

Oh my oh my!

Check out this wonderful example of alcohol impaired foot/eye coordination as a drinker attempts to kick the ball back onto the field of play

Can someone kindly talk some pics and maybe write up a little report so I can keep the BBuzz Hamlet reporting up to date?

I've only got my phone camera and am a bit weighed down with flags, voodoo sticks and raw emotion but I'll take some photos. Might be bollocks, mind. I'll encourage others to do so as well.

Cheers. The Hamlet posts on BrixtonBuzz get a fair bit of traffic so it's good to keep 'em coming. Pics of people are often better than attempts at fast moving players if you're using a mobile phone.
