Indulge yourself with £60 Dulwich Hamlet branded designer gin

[Al Crane]

The whole thing stinks!

My reading of the situation is:

This appears to be a case of our chairman using the club to do his mate a favour - this isn’t a huge issue as those sort of relationships can often be beneficial for the club and its supporters, except that...

Similar bottles for other clubs appear to be over £20 cheaper.

The article on the club website doesn’t mention anything about whether the club makes any money from this. If it will then it should say so.

Throw in the fact that the person behind this appears to support views on the Hillsborough tragedy which I would hope the club and its supporters don’t condone in any way, then I’m really struggling to see why the club should support this and would like the club to remove the article from the website.

A piss poor state of affairs.

"I know the chairman"

And they’re guilty of an apostrophe crime (gin’s) too.

He can get Jack Pitt-Brooke an interview with the chairman. Amazing stuff.

There seems to be a touch of "Derek Trotter" about this bloke.

There can be no justification for retweeting "jokes" referencing the Hillsborough disaster. We do not know what, if any, relationship exists between the club and gin producer, but we are calling on the club to cut any and all ties with them. We have also requested the article to be removed off the club website.

I wonder if it was his children that had gone to a football match and not come back if he would be more careful about making fun of it on social media. The gin creator that is.

The bottom half of the picture (cut off here) isn't particularly pleasant either.

 

[cambelt]

How many bottles do you get for £60?

Fuck's sake. It's the 1970s

 

[Cyclodunc]

Eurgh.

Literally. It even has Rutland as a separate county.

Guess the comedy genius behind that map couldn't think of anything for Northern Ireland.

Not the greatest marketing plot to be referring to your target market in such homophobic terms as “rent boys” ‍

 

[Christian Burt]

I'm not sure if he'd mentioned enough on Twitter that the Chairman is a good friend of his.
What I can mention is he sounds a prick.

Now I'm really fucking annoyed.

I love me some cheesy football club branding of any old shite in the name of marketing. It typifies Modern Football perfectly.

My personal favorite is still Man United's official tractor.

Don't buy the giiin, don't buy the gin, don't buy the gin, don't buy the gin, don't by the giiiin.

 

[JoeBoy1959]

If there’s a Hamlet Rum, then it’s okay.

Or a Hamlet cigar

Don’t jangle keys, don’t...

My dad used to smoke those things. I suppose involuntarily, so did I!

if only we were playing as well as United. (Never thought I’d say that).

Also, it’s killing me trying to work out who that player is.

Ander Herrera? That's a guess.

Ander Herrera? That's a guess.

It should really be Phil Jones, although that's doing a disservice to tractors' turning circles.

They're more Massey Ferguson than Alex Ferguson these days.

 

[Paula_G]

With the Dulwich demographic becoming more or more Village expect there will shortly be an official Dulwich tractor... sorry Chelsea...

 

[MrFouldsy]

I'm late to this, but has anyone considered if there's any connection to the air freshener incident?

 

[NPDHFC]

Theft is theft is sixty pound gin

 

[MrFouldsy]

I've heard that the Official Dulwich Hamlet Gin (TM) has been contamination by a really bad batch of acid. Stay safe, kids.

the tweets seem to have gone?
