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

[Brixton Hatter]

el-ahrairah I actually had a spare t-shirt which I thought i'd give to you but when you weren't at the game I ended up giving it to someone else - sorry!

I already got 5 done but if you and Onket (and anyone else) want one I'll send you the image file and web address etc and you can sort it yourself if you want It's cheaper on the postage if you club together.

Just PM me….

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Btw, great signing by Gav I reckon. Could just be the thing we need to ensure a great end of season run-in….

Anyway, shame I missed sausage tosser earlier before he was banned - out of the frying pan into the fire! I bet he was spitting mad etc...

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Anyway, here's the Champion Hill pre-match play list for tomorrow:

Bad Manners - Lip Up Fatty (aka Big Up Hamlet!)
Jah Screechy - Walk and Skank (made in Brixton, played in Dulwich)
De La Soul - A Roller Skating Jam Named 'Saturdays' (because 5 days we work, and one whole day we play…come on Gavin Rose you make our Saturdays)
The Beat - Whine and Grind/Stand Down Margaret (I first met vornstyle76 at the Thatcher death party last year and we whine & grine every week)
Whodini - One Love (The Hamlet)
Inner Circle - Bad Boys (on the pitch and off it )
Rodney P - The Nice Up (cos that's what Gavin & the boys do to our Saturdays)
The Nextmen - Lions Den (cos that's what Champion Hill is for the away team)
Asher D & Daddy Freddy - We Are The Champions (because WE ARE)
Rebel MC - Street Tuff (a bit of fun just before kick off)

 

[Yorick]

My housemate (we're all Champion Hill regulars) works with someone who works for Kingstonian (a scout, I think he said?), and they were apparently singing Kavanagh's praises today. He's a bit of a utility player, can bring the solidity that we sometimes lack in the middle of the field, or do real box-to-box work. Said it's a top signing for us. Good news!

some good choices... may have to only stop at the fox for a couple then

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Tomorrow is a good day for football, the sun will be shining on Champion Hill, it's gonna be a scorcher (relatively)

 

[pompeydunc]

some good choices... may have to only stop at the fox for a couple then

Indeed some top choices, although given Tuesday's game and this, then I'm suprised this didn't make the cut:

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Good choice…tho songs were chosen a few weeks ago unfortunately

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Grab yer sunnies ladies and gents

 

[bacterium]

Can anyone say why the rules at champion hill are for bringing in alcohol?

 

[sleaterkinney]

15 degrees!, gutted I'm missing the game today.

not sure what the actual rules are but if your not stupid about it you can do it. same with most things..

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Yeah, I expect it's technically not allowed but as long as you don't get a can out in the bar or anything like that you'd be fine.

 

[vornstyle76]

There's rumours that the burger van is gone, so maybe bring a packed lunch. Or, as I'm tempted to do, just go on a drunken rampage in the second-half as the lack of carbs reaps its vicious harvest.

 

[Scutta]

fuck eating I've still got some buckfast

do you want me to grab another bottle of buckfast on the way?

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

fuck eating I've still got some buckfast

Traditionally you should be eating something battered and deep fried with that.

 

[all to nah]

A short tale from Hamburg:
During the winter break Altona 93-supporters like to watch amatuericehockeymatches in the third and fourth division. A few years ago it was possible to bring your own bottle of rum to the HSV-Hockeymatches and a lot of us did. It was a warm and colourfull time. But than one guy showed off in his 11 Freunde-column (11 Freunde is the german WSC) and from this day on they controll all bags there...

Yeah, I think we need to be quiet about it. Maybe even posting on here is a bit too open.

I think if the Rabble all started drinking Buckfast there'd be a humanitarian crisis in South London, UN peacekeepers, everything. I actually went to Buckfast Abbey where they make the stuff once. The most peaceful place I've ever been. The contrast with some of the bloodsplattered punks I knew in Belfast was incredible.

 

[el-ahrairah]

i've been buying my booze from the bar on moral principal (i.e. the club needs every penny it can get and if my alcoholism can help someone that's a good thing) - does the beer money help the club or go into someone else's pockets?

 

[Brixton Hatter]

It's not allowed. Same as any other football ground.

There's no search on the way in.

The bar has happy hour before the game and at halftime - £2.50 a pint

el-ahrairah takings from the bar go to the club, but that hasn't necessarily helped - we were £100k in debt until the property developers bought us and cleared the debt

 

[vornstyle76]

There's a rumour* that the bar is still in the hands of McCormack, and even when he owned the club it's doubtful the money from the bar was going to the club. I think the safest way to ensure your drinking money went to the club would be smuggling it in and putting the cash you saved in the 12th Man bucket (disclaimer: they are, unlike me, fine upstanding gentleman who would want nothing to do with such questionable activities). Also, hasn't the happy hour promotion stopped now?

* = I feel like half my posts on here start, "There's a rumour..."

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

That sounds like a very unlikely rumour.

 

[Scutta]

That sounds like a very unlikely rumour.

i have heard that rumour too not from vornstyle either.....

I've heard a better rumour though about some bloke from turkey who gives us joy..... apparently hes only 5ft2 and pink n blue! lets just hope he stays..... f

 

[Scutta]

....right to the fox.

i obviously need to drink more then.

 

[editor]

0-2 with a really dour Hamlet performance.

 

[editor]

Bognor have been strong all game with Hamlet barely managing an attack.

 

[EDC]

I haven't missed much then? Maidstone have lost too.

 

[editor]

That said, the singing was magnificent as ever.
