Just curious about if anyone know when the team are going to be wearing the new kit that was advertised a while back? Noticed they're still wearing last season's strips at the moment. Are the new ones available yet?

As I understand it, they are arriving in the country this week, being shipped in by the manufacturers Errea, from Italy. So hopefully in the next week or so.
The 'delay' was caused, really, by delays in confirming the shirt sponsors, as some people no longer at the Club, promised this & that, to better Winkworths, but it never materialised...

Awh. 
How come Dulwich have a section on here anyway? I mean it's quite cool (and what brought me here), but I just wondered how it came about?

Quite a few posters here started going regularly to Dulwich, and one of them was editor who's in charge here. So we got a forum.

There was a single thread last season that become so monstrously inflated with hundreds of new posts that a new forum was the only logical move.Awh.

I've just posted an article on B Buzz: http://www.brixtonbuzz.com/2014/09/...pport-anti-homophobia-rainbow-laces-campaign/
I think this should be worthy of a thread on its own...

My fellow football nerd boss at work supports Plymouth Argyll and he pointed out that the only meeting between Dulwich Hamlet and Plymouth Argyll took place at Champion Hill in 1929 in the FA Cup 1st round (proper, I imagine?). we lost 3 0. No doubt we claimed the moral victory that day though!

Well, I've tweeted it out to 12.5k people
We have reached the First Round Proper of the FA Cup fourteen times. It's always been our 'jinx' competition...My fellow football nerd boss at work supports Plymouth Argyll and he pointed out that the only meeting between Dulwich Hamlet and Plymouth Argyll took place at Champion Hill in 1929 in the FA Cup 1st round (proper, I imagine?). we lost 3 0. No doubt we claimed the moral victory that day though!
We hold the unenviable record of having reached the First Round Proper more than any other club BUT NOT PROGRESSING FURTHER.
The last time was 1998, when we lost 1-0 to Conference outfit Southport, a Tony Houghton own goal. This was later shown on Terry Wogan's show "Auntie's Sporting Bloomers".
Prior to that it was 1948, when we lost to Northampton Town; after we won at Bognor Regis Town in the 4th qualifying round, when a temporary stand collapsed before the match. I have researched both of those games from old newspaper archives, for different articles, in previous copies of the 'Hamlet Historian'.
For many years, we were exempt to the final qualifying round, due to being Amateur Cup holders, so we often only had to win one game to qualify. And we then retained the exemption. I'm haven't checked this in detail, it's only 'vaguely' from memory, having looked some of this up in the past. In eight of these years we played Football League opposition...it might make a good series of small articles...
We failed to do anything, post-War, and after a few years the Football Association withdrew our exemption, due to our poor record, and such was the disgust of the old blazers that ran our Club 'back in the day'...we didn't bother to enter the FA Cup for several years in the 1950's in protest!

In 1998 Southport had its first (and only) trip to Wembley, when they lost 1–0 to Cheltenham Town in the final of the FA Trophy. 10,000 Southport fans made the trip to London to see the match.
I was at that game, wanted Cheltenham Town to win...

I'm sure that must have been an accident. The Cobblers nearly always lose to non-league opposition as Brixton Hatter will attest to.

And an attendance of what looks like 11,602 at Champion Hill. (That would have been the ground that was replaced by the one that survived until 1991, and was roughly on the site of the proposed future one.)My fellow football nerd boss at work supports Plymouth Argyll and he pointed out that the only meeting between Dulwich Hamlet and Plymouth Argyll took place at Champion Hill in 1929 in the FA Cup 1st round (proper, I imagine?). we lost 3 0. No doubt we claimed the moral victory that day though!
I didn't even realise that ground could hold that many...if anyone's wondering where it was, as Pink Panther says, it's on the spot as the all-weather pitch...you know, that 'precious' never been built on Metropolitan Open Land...

...and Pompey have never lost to non-league opposition in a competitive game. Why do I get the sense that this message will come back to bite me?
Hmmm...would check the earlier years of competitions like the Hampshire Senior Cup, which would have been recognised First Team competitions back in the olden days...

I hadn't even really made that connection. I think we need to emphasise this and if possible dig out some old photographs to show what used to be on the site during the 1920's. I'm sure there's an old aerial photograph on the really long continuous thread from last season showing the site circa 1930, with this ground clearly visible and the next one under construction immediately to the east on the site of the present ground.
