General Dulwich Hamlet chat

I'd rather face ANYONE but the Met Police in the play-off. If ever a game was nailed on to be decided by a horrible scrappy 93rd minute winner (probably bundled over the line by one their centre-backs) it's that one.
 
I'm the opposite, despite past results, I'd rather play any side which is essentially less good than another. So I'd take Met Police over Margate.

*awaits this to bite me on the arse in a few months*

To be honest, right now we shouldn't really be looking too far ahead, need a bit of form or it may end up like last season and we just miss out.

I'd be happy if we never play the Met again. And I never want to visit their shitty, fan-free ground again.
(Although I loved the mist that swept over it last time)

Oh I don't know. In a world of few certainties there's a part of me that quite likes knowing I'm going to go and have a thoroughly miserable afternoon every time we have to play them.
 
Although if we did lose to the Met in a play-off semi i'd be behind them all the way in the final, if only to ensure not having to face them again for at least 12 months. We'd then probably draw them in the bloody Cup or Trophy though.

Oh yeah totally. I've no doubt whatsoever we'll wind up having to play them at least once next season whatever division they're in.
 
If we don't finish second then I won't be too gutted if we don't go up...as long as the team in second place does. Not that I don't want us to go up...no matter where we finish...
 
I'd go with Burt here.

At the end of the day (it's midnight) and I'd rather face a theoretically lesser team on paper like Met Police, Hendon, ET or whoever, than M'n'M.

Maidstone and Margate have top quality players. I think Margate players suffer a bit from not getting up for every occasion but they surely would for a play-off game in front of a chunky crowd. I think they'll win it anyway.

The Met Police hoodoo is just one of those odd things in football. A strange little string of results, nothing more than that. We're better than them and would beat them more times than not on average. So no fear there. They'll finish 4th.

I think we'll finish 3rd, beat Bognor in the semi then lose to Maidstone away in the final.

I just hope I've got the last result of that sequence wrong :)

And if all of this comes true then I'm going to start doing the fucking lottery.
 
Fuck this negativity, I still have designs on winning the league at Tonbridge. :thumbs:

I know it'd take an epic turnaround in form, but we can beat any team in this division. We've been on several match winning streaks before. Maidstone is getting the jitters, Margate is a due a wobble after 6 straight wins. If Maidstone win & draw their games in hand we've only got to take 3 more points than them over 8 matches (remembering that Maidstone v Margate is one of them) and we'll go into that final home match with EVERYTHING still to play for. So let's allow our minds to fantasize a while longer, at least until 1650 on Saturday.....

Based on such indefatigable logic, I've no idea why you'd want to know when the PO dates are Gareth, but if you want to mark your diary they're up on the Ryman League fixtures page.
 
You gotta be borderline religious along with optimistic on the idea of Dulwich winning the league, it's still possible obviously but at the moment it just seems very unlikely unless both Margate and Maidstone lose their remainder of games in hand and slump so hard in form they're virtually a bogey team. Playoffs seem likely, I wasn't at the Met Police game but by the sounds of it it wasn't great at all so I could hope for that. But for anyone else, including either of the title contenders, we could give them a hard time in the game and prove a tough challenge, even away against Maidstone.

The season finale is starting to really build up though, and I'm actually looking forward to the run in regardless of what happens. Being optimistic though, 2nd/3rd would be great!
 
According to this front cover, your team gets a mention in next month's Socialist Standard:

March%202015%20cover.jpg


See bottom right hand corner. This wouldn't have happened back in the day when all the editorial committee were Fulham fans.
 
Good grief...I didn't realise that group still existed. Possibly one of the most boring leftie magazines i've ever read!
Wow! Must have a readership of dozens... ;)

Gonna have to pop up to Housemans to get a copy...intriqued, to say the least! ;)
 
Morning all,

Best of luck to all entrants. The winner will be announced next Friday (06 March).

Forward the Hamlet.

If we don't go up I'd rather Maidstone and Margate go up, as either of them staying down will be favourites next season. I can't see Not Police ever winning the division outright, or even really finishing in the top three. With no Maidstone or Margate we'd be the biggest club in the league by a distance and I'd really fancy us to be Isthmian League champions for the first time since 1949, which has always been my main ambition as a Hamlet follower.

That would be quite something... and another year without over excited stewarding in the conference south!

That's a really, really good point.
 
Bit of a rookie question, and I'm not sure if this has been asked, but is there a reason as to why people don't have/wear Hamlet shirts? Not saying its a bad thing at all, however i've noticed probably one or two people have them, which I find interesting.
