Dulwich Hamlet

[Inbetweener]

Needham Market is a Ryman League match, the visitors are currently in second place in the table. as The Hamlet continue to push for a play-off spot.

Barkingside is a London Senior Cup tie...a home match against our old & bitter rivals t****g & mitcham united, beckons for the victors in the quarter-finals.

And the Macclesfield Town game sees The Hamlet-only side from our level left in the competition-take on the former Football League side from the National League national division, in the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy. Only two rounds from Wembley....

Does anyone know the history to the Tooting rivalry? Just curious as to why them...

[Inbetweener]

To be honest I can't really answer that, I've been supporting The Hamlet for almost 43 years now, and when people ask me this I say 'I honestly don't know, it's the way I was brought up as a kid'!

There is a difference, in my opinion, between a local game & local rivalry. For example, a match against, say, Thamesmead Town or Greenwich Borough, would 'be just another game', even though they are local.

Again, my opinion only, rivalries can fluctuate. In the late 1890's to the turn of the last century, when we were playing very local football, I would say our rivalry would have been with Townley Park, but after the great amateur split of 1907, when they chose the AFA route, it became Nunhead FC, who were previously known as Wingfield House. They never came back after the Second World War, & Wimbledon became a big South London rival...t****g & mitcham joined the Isthmian League in the late Fifties, and Wimbledon left it in 1963, to join the professional ranks in the Southern League, so I would guess t*****g evolved as the natural local rivals then.

t*****g are still 'affectionately' referred to by fans of my generation as the 'thugs & muggers'.

There is also a recent dislike/hatred of Leatherhead AKa Levred-SCUM, after 'Wall-gate' in 2013.

Somebody please explain, why does this American political journalist/broadcaster Keith Olbermann have Dulwich Hamlet listed in his profile?

Is he the most followed Dulwich Hamlet FC supporter on the planet?

[Siduhe]

Explanation in this thread of tweets. He liked DHFC trolling President Trump:

Top game in prospect later today. Needham Market are in second place in the league - above Dulwich Hamlet - but they lost 6-0 in a league match on Wednesday. It is, what i believe is often referred to as, a 'six pointer' - one of many to come.

He became a fan ("Finally I have found my Isthmian League club") when DHFC tweeted a picture of Trump's inauguration with the legend "We've had bigger crowds at Champion Hill."

[DHFC]

Online ticket sales for Saturday's game against Macclesfield have now gone past the 1000 mark. We want to leave room for walk ups on Saturday so are likely to close those when they reach 1200. So if you want to book in advance then do it quickly.

[DHFC]

Online tickets now sold out for game v Macclesfield. There will be a minimum 1500 tickets available from 1pm on the day.

That is so useful. (tu)

[BrandNewGuy]

2-2 draw. Excellent late equaliser from Ashley Carew and a fine, fighting performance from our boys. Big crowd of 2,834. Replay at Macclesfield on Tuesday.

[Otta]

Wish I could have been there. Seen the equaliser on a facebook video, cracking goal!

[AGW3]

It was an amazing comeback. Agreed that equalising goal was absolutely superb.

[????]

Both their goals were really soft - keeper at fault

[taper]

Hell of a game. Great to see so much pink and blue around East Dulwich beforehand and afterwards

Semi Final draw live via Periscope at 10.30am today.

[Clifton]

Hamlet or Macclesfield will play Tranmere Rovers in the semi final (at home in the first leg)

Wasn't able to get along as suffering with the bug that's doing the rounds. Will(or has) footage be appearing on Dulwich Hamlet T.V./You-Tube ? Can't find it as I post.

I hope they can go on and win the competition, being the only "bona-fide amateur" club still left in it. (I know this is an outdated concept/expression ie: now non-league or semi-professional, but I mean that all the other teams are "ex-league" teams).

It also seems to me that it is weighted against teams such as DHFC (further down the pyramid), with the replays being only a couple of days later and players possibly unable to get time off work at such short notice. Why aren't the replays scheduled for the following week (same thing with Braintree)? Anyone with better in depth knowledge?

[BrandNewGuy]

There's footage from DHTV of the two Hamlet goals. The highlights will take a couple of days, I think.

[BrandNewGuy]

Tonight's replay has been postponed due to snow. The clubs are looking to rearrange for later in the week.
