Local Football

[ratty]

Being a ressie of St Francis Place since moving from the noise pit that is LL, I wondered if any of you guys / gals ever attend the football at Champion Park? Seems that the clubs have some fairly illustrious ex players of one denomination or another. I understand that erstwhile Portsmouth star Peter Crouch once graced the turf there (now playing at some minor North West club I understand).

Anyway, does anyone ever go and what's the footie like?

Many of us are regulars, come join the fun, there are a couple of threads with details, opinions and even match reports.

Dulwich Hamlet v Leatherhead this saturday.

If we're lucky we might get to see :

He, http://farm1.static.flickr.com/137/360734235_bb1211a1af_m.jpg, has been training with Charlton according to this piece

3pm kick off this Saturday, anyone else coming?

[capt_birdseye]

How much does it cost to get in? I'd like to go some time but am often minding the junior Birdseyes.

[Mark]

Adults - ?7.00 Concessions - ?3.00

Kids can sponsor the player's shoelaces for ?1 a go if they want and get their name mentioned in the programme. And as their colours are pink and blue, how perfect is that for a uni-sex toddler's scarf?

Hot News -

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/137/360734235_bb1211a1af_m.jpg scores two in the first 15 minutes for Charlton Reserves:

Dulwich Hamlet hotshot Chris Dickson made a dream debut for Charlton Athletic reserves on Tuesday night with a brace inside the opening 15 minutes in his side's 5-1 win at Fulham. read more

So, does this mean he's still playing for Dulwich Hamlet? Will he be there on Saturday?

[mockney piers]

Chuffed as I am for Chris, this doesn't bode well for title challenge during the run in. Especially after a couple of well publicised hiccups like letting a 3-0 lead slip away in the last 14 minutes.

I dunno, Dulwich Hamlets were supposed to be my west ham antidote this season :(

[Huguenot]

jeez Mockney, is third in the table not good enough?

[mockney piers]

Seeing as we always choke in the playoffs, I was rather hoping for automatic promotion, but then I want the moon on a stick.

Big game on saturday, so lets hope for some good support.

[CrystalClear]

Will try and come, though I maybe feeling slightly under the weather!

No http://farm1.static.flickr.com/137/360734235_bb1211a1af_m.jpg Noooooooooo.

[Keef]

Didn't realise he was 22, thought he was a teenager.

The Charlton fans I work with want him in the first team! ;-)

[Mark]

If anyone reads this before the Leatherhead game and wants to meet for a drink beforehand let me know, I'll check back on here about 2ish.

[ratty]

Thanks for Price infor and forgive my ifnorance but do Fisher not play there as well? Fisher are in the same league as my home team - H&W Hawks!

[Keef]

They do indeed play there.

[Mark]

he's gone!

"CHARLTON have completed the ?50,000 signing of Dulwich Hamlet striker Chris Dickson on a two-and-a-half-year contract." read more

Good result on Saturday, we won 3-0

[Huguenot]

Arrrgh! Disaster!

[ratty]

I might have to come along soon! Especially after my baby arrives as time out of the house will be even more important :D! Where does everyone pre game shant?

[mockney piers]

Just got a text from my charlton mate, aagh. Had to happen though I guess. We lost Omari Coleman to Watford, but this fee does blow that one out the water.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

ratty, anywhere but the Vale. Actually I tend to go for a mid-game gary lager in the clubhouse.

[Keef]

The BBC website says ?35,000 :-S

[mockney piers]

That's what Scott said too. Apparently he's been brought in so Bent doesn't have to play in the Coca-Cola cup.

One game a year huh?

[Keef]

Well I suspect he's been brought in to take Bent's place if they go down...... Will be very interesting to see if he gets a game if they stay up. That said, the other Bent is crap, and Hasslebaink won't be around much longer!

[mockney piers]

Ha ha, that's exactly what I said to Scott!!

Of course, pots and kettles, perhaps West Ham should be scouring the lower leagues.

Can't believe Eggheadsson has banned the Hammerettes. Rather smacks of desperation, or fiddling while rome burns or something.

[Keef]

Well there are some good players out there, Charlton are also looking at a winger from Gillingham... And who could forget the transfer of DJ Campbell to Birmingham :-S

At least it's nice to see Dulwich getting some money for a young player, rather than paying some washed up fat git to turn out for them! In fact, didn't they have a fat former Charlton player a couple of seasons back?

[mockney piers]

Ha ha, yes. I've actually seen him peruse various football fan forums, so careful with the insults.

He did like his pie though, what was his name again? He did like to put the boot in, but occasional deft touches betrayed his former class despite being at least 6 months pregnant.
