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

[vornstyle76]

I've actually booked Saturday night off work... but because it's my mum's 60th. If I can negotiate meeting that mob at 7 rather than 6 then we're cooking with oil, baby!

a change in Bromley, which will give Vornstyle the opportunity to tell his quietly brilliant 'day off school' story.

Are you suggesting that I've been repeating the same old vaguely-interesting-because-it's-not-even-interesting anecdote every time we change at Bromley South?

 

[Joe K]

You've only told me that story once, and I don't think it was at Bromley South. The story is funny, definitely. Least I think so.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Wealdstone won 2-0 tonight.

In all my Chelsea supporting awaydays, Turf Moor is up there with my favourites, the view of the moors behind the main stand, etc. OK it's been developed since the 70's but that side terrace was something else, absolutely massive although on telly it didn't look that big. Old Champion Hill was very similar on a smaller scale. I don't know why but I've never really liked watching football from a side terrace, Burnley, Forest, Bolton, Spurs, Millwall all had a lot or most of their vocal support there. I'd rather be behind the goal, I'm not surprised that the side terrace at Hamlet isn't the main congregated area for the singers although I see in the photos from Saturday a few of you were under there, scared of the sun or something?

I'm from Blackburn and I'm still smarting a bit from Sunday. It all feels like some sort of well orchestrated prank aimed to annoy specifically me that he would be there this week.

Alas, poor Yorick....

How long till Phil comes back?

How long till Phil comes back?

Saw Phil warming up on Saturday, and he had a chat to some of the fans. He said he was feeling alright, but didn't want to rush anything. Imagine Gavin will be keen to get another loanee in rather than risk it.

spoke to him Lewes and he seemed fairly positive...wouldnt be surprised to see him between the sticks on Saturday... not sure i could bare another yannick at the moment as we dont look like scoring more.... and esp as its the big boys coming up....but also wouldnt want to rush Phill back just to end up needing to get a loan in anyway....

From the Maidstone website:

I’ve heard it’s a non-smoking ground?
That’s correct. We do open the main gates are half time for people who need a cigarette. As well as no smoking, we also ask people to refrain from chewing gum – it’s just to make sure the stadium stays looking its best and is not blighted by bits of chewing gum on the paths.

Looks like they have aspirations to Kingstonian's levels of regulation.

fucking hell, i thought we won the cold war

better be on your best behaviour then vornstyle76

 

[sankara]

Is oshane brown still at the club?

According to the website, yes. I think that the 12th man guys will be getting a call though.

Thankfully I'm on the electronic chewing gum now, and only ever rub my e-nipples at stewards.

[Scutta]

the important bits:

However, the attacking midfielder – who has netted more than 30 times this season for the Champion Hill side – is expected to train with the first team on Friday and Dulwich boss Gavin Rose expects him to be available for the South Londoners’ Ryman League Premier Division clash with Maidstone tomorrow.


“Erhun is 100 per cent committed to our cause this season. He believes he can still get better and is a very balanced and humble person so you won’t ever find him losing his focus with us as long as he is here." GR



phew!

Also:

“He has had a lot of interest this season, and whatever happens we will wish him all the best – but we will try and have an agreement by which if anyone does choose to sign him, he will remain with us until the end of the season and help our promotion challenge.

 

[Onket]

And get a sell-on clause in his contract, wherever he goes.

It's not going to be a sale I think.

 

[vornstyle76]

Danny Carr was bought by Huddersfield last year and allowed to stay for the rest of the season.

 

[vornstyle76]

I've started putting together a Spotify playlist of the songs we base chants on (ignoring some of the more standard football tunes): http://t.co/wUJVMlVG50

(I think we need to include the "ding-dong ding-dong / ding-a-ling-a-ling" details into the Xavier Vidal 'Ring My Bell' chant.)

 

[Scrooge]

I'm expecting a Danny Carr arrangement for Erhun, wherever he ends up - which means we should get a fee of some description and also can continue to play him until the end of the season. Works well for all parties I think! And we can have an emotional send-off for him at the end of the season, hopefully with a glorious play-off win (or unlikely championship win in the game vs K's!)

 

[Jamie Wyatt]

It's not going to be a sale I think.

He will be one of the ones on contract, so should be some sort of fee, with mayb a friendly, if trial goes well!!

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Only if the contract is for more than one year. I think before last season Gavin said they'd agreed he'd stay for this year and he's been looking for a move so I'd be surprised if it ran past the end of the season.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

In fact, from his site:

Erhun is currently signed for Dulwich Hamlet until the end of the 2013/2014 season.

[Champion_hill]

It's been known for big clubs (other than hull) to do the decent thing. Here is to hoping.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Really? I suppose they might agree to a friendly as they've got a schedule to fill anyway (more likely if he ends up somewhere closer than Burnley) but I've never heard of a club paying a fee when they didn't have to.

To be entirely honest I don't really see why they should either. I think the deal was obviously 'you do really well for us and we won't stand in your way when you go'.
