Likewise haven't watched it yet as didn't want to spend on a subscription when the episode release schedule was sketchy and the rest of their output is seemingly bobbins - but the last one is now out and you can get a free 7-day trial, so might do that.
For what it’s worth editor I am going to be shutting down the Discord that was set up, like many others I didn’t see the point of it being created last season, and in my first few days at the club that view hasn’t changed.
Cheers - much appreciated
Strange man who has and does more than nearly anybody to keep the club going? Yeah, hes' the stange man.
Glad you agree sugartits.
No they have not!
Thanks!
Judging by trailers running now the documentary will be free to air on the Quest channel from September. Seems the powers that be who wanted it to be a magnet to attract subscribers to the Discovery+ app have decided that’s not going to be the case. That said the publicity has been average to say the least. Given the buzz around the Euros at the moment more than the odd mention of the women’s team in trailers might have helped particularly as the women’s team feature heavily as the series progresses. Similarly with the participation of trans women in sport a hot topic at the moment it would have shown Dulwich as that “very different club” Crouch refers to us as had the publicity even mentioned the historic game between DHFCW & TRUK. Does it say something that as the series was being dropped on Discovery+ there was next to no pushing of it via the club’s comms? Whether that changes now we’ll have to wait & see.
Well does state in the rules that “This is a DFHC Channel”. Though the word “official” is absent that and the circumstances of its launch in connection with the Crouch doc would lead most to suppose that it is (or rather was) a club endorsed communications channel.
Well I’m just about to start the final episode and no mention yet of either Mishi or Duncan. There is next to nothing about the Save Dulwich Hamlet campaign, not even footage that I recall. Meadow have not been mentioned once. The frustration about this programme was it was a great opportunity to show what a different club Dulwich Hamlet is. Although Ben, Clare and Hannah Baptiste of the Women’s team are excellent too often one could change the badges and the colours on show and this could be a story about any Non League club. If that’s what was wanted then they semi-succeeded but rarely did they bring out the people, ideas & initiatives that make Dulwich Hamlet different, the things that helped build us back to from a genuinely struggling club with a few hundred fans to one trying to bring in the income to support the increasingly expensive infrastructure needed to be both sustainable & successful.
There is footage of the “Save Dulwich Hamlet” march, just over a minute of that in which Mishi does appear though we never hear his voice, his passionate words or his name, leading up to Peter’s launch of his “Save Grassroots Football” campaign in conjunction with other clubs sh@T on by dodgy owners like Bury, Leyton Orient and Darlington. Sadly there is no one from outside the club staff to speak of that campaign and it’s impact.
It wouldn't be so bad if the club had made some decent money out of hosting the Crouch celebrity show.
I haven't watched this series. From what is said it does seem the producers missed a few obvious - to us - tricks. However; I seriously doubt DHFC had any editorial control. The decision not to mention Mishi, the property developers etc. will lie with the Production Company, not DHFC.
It could be seen that these problems affect all grassroots club's not just DHFC.
