As this thread had shown and through personal experience, there are plenty of supporters that are talented writers. Surely we could correct pish pieces like this dinlow has written with our own pieces about the club? A new fanzine perhaps, independent of the club but working alongside Urban etc?

Just kind of chucking ideas out there .

The Dulwich Hamlet Free Paper (done by the Trust and other fans) that was issued for the Altona match was excellent. Will there be more?

A fanzine along them lines would be excellent though I stress, it should be free from all official ties to the club, trust included.

This is just bar chat, but I heard that the plan was to do it quarterly if it was well-received (and it certainly was).

I've offered some of my archive pics as I reckon some of the old school awaydays would be a great read for newbie fans.

I’d hazard that both ChatGPT and Bard are looking at Buzz (plus a bit of Wikipedia) as the source material to generate these pieces. I recognise some stuff from DHST as well. Although they completely make things up as well.

When it is so easy to do research. What does it mean to get so much wrong? (I think this is what has bothered me to the degree it has)

Indeed. It’s the least important of the (in)accuracy points but Liverpool are going Germany and Singapore this year. Haven’t been to America since 2019.
 
In addition to all of the above, the stuff about Millwall at the end of that article is really weird too. Is there some reason to think Millwall U23s are likely to be a dirty side? Obviously their fans have a certain reputation, but it's a bit of a stretch to assume that applies to their development squad. And are they trying to imply there's going to be fighting amongst the fans? Hardly likely. The lack of logic to any of it really does give it a bit of an A.I.-generated feel.

I don't understand the cartoon either. Why are they all dressed like that? Are they supposed to be fans or trialists? And what does having heard of Millwall have to do with it? I'm just really confused as to what the actual joke/point being made is?

Echo Latahs, pompeydunc and everyone else's thoughts , but I also don't like the snide reference to HH having 'one relegation under his belt already'. Neglects to acknowledge that he had 13 games to save us, using a widely-criticised squad whose commitment to the cause was very questionable, not to mention the fact that the poor bloke had to go back to Cyprus for 2 weeks because his mother passed away. It's tactless to say the fucking least, and also fails to recognise that he's come back - when I'm sure he wouldn't have been short of NLS offers - to try to rectify a wrong that is not of his own making.

It just strikes me as an article written by the author to get maximum 'lols' and to make himself look very witty and clever, rather than representing any kind of accurate reflection of the club, its staff and volunteers, and the day itself.

Wtf is he talking about? Jamie Splatt left under Paul Barnes?

'Dulwich Hamlet boss Hakan Hayrettin was reminded of this last week as he watched his young defender Jamie Splatt make for the door, the club’s eleventh player to leave since being relegated from the National League South.'

Where on earth has this guy come from? He's just writing rubbish.

I think we can safely say he's failed spectacularly on that score, if the consensus on this thread is any indication. It's been more like "Grant Shapps does football".

He seems to have fallen out of the sky with some kind of project to masquerade as a Hamlet fan for a season, while satirising the club. He could have picked almost any club at Isthmian Premier or National South level. It's bad enough with some of the YouTube bloggers who just visit the once.

So "the hipsters haven't the foggiest"? The irony! I don’t think I can take another 9 months of this. Hopefully he'll get bored and lose interest. It's painful.
 
Line-by-line commentary. Obviously, there's a certain level of hubris to to doing this when I am critcising the ignorance of the original post, but please offer corrections and I can update. This is an addenda to another piece I've written FYI.

It also doesn't mention the March 2013 rematch at Champion Hill after Sittingbourne at home, and also another supporters' match at AJK prior to 2018. But why would it? These are supporters matches and not first team matches. I mean, it could write another 100 pages on other supporters' exchanges, such as the joint anti-homophobia banner we presented them, or the recent visit Alex wrote about in the Dulwich Free Press. The sentiment is clear in this new piece that the relationship is deep and doesn't deserve the insulting and flawed description in the original piece.
 
Thanks Paula, I'll add that the the line-by-line pdf above. I'll also add in the Sittingbourne meeting and the fact that we do supporters games as well - this is important.

Thanks. So much of our connections with continental teams came from the supporters team and the matches arranged by Mishi and others. We’ve a long lasting connection with clubs like HJK Helsinki in Finland, Red Star Paris in France and UR Namur in Belgium thanks to these supporters games and Mishi’s unique brand of diplomacy. There were so many others that he hoped to cultivate before his untimely passing, reviving the Hamlet tradition of the Easter Tour. Dieppe was a personal favourite of mine once we discover where the games were actually played. Think the only ones we might rule out are the Swiss we played in the Prague suburbs back in 2003!
