Barnsley, Grimsby it's all the same to me ;)

Erm...Mick McCarthy....in a word....nope.

Now if you'd said Danny Wilson (no not the singer)... that's a different matter.

And Alan, thank you for the endearing affectionate welcome.

One i think should be recirpocated with a "Barnsley kiss" ;-)

I think Alan was (mis)quoting Roy Keane's parting shot to Mick McCarthy when he stormed out of the 2002 World Cup.

Thought you might come back on that: 'your' not 'yer' (!) - actually I thought it was 'stuff' not 'stick' but that was just my failing memory.

I've never known an all-ticket game at Champion Hill. Even when we played AFC Wimbledon a few years back.

It'll be a Charlton youth team or such like I'd imagine so definitely cash on the turnstile.

[Eddie M]

Whilst I agree there's no way it will be all ticket, it is supposed to be Charlton's first team turning up. This was part of the deal that took Chris Dickson to the Valley in 2007 - also Alan Pardew played for Dulwich before he turned professional, so hopefully will be inclined to bring a strong team. It is listed as a first team match on the Charlton website.

[Keef]

My colleague who is a big Charlton fan thinks they'll bring a few first teamers down.

Don't think the ground has ever sold out though, so wouldn't worry.

[Jamma]

I hope you're right about Pardew bringing a decent team. Unfortunately I remember the Nottingham Forest friendly a few years back that had the first team listed in the programme (including Des Walker!) but bore no relation to the team of 17-year-old nyaffs that turned out. And that was part of a transfer deal too.

Watford pulled a similar trick when they signed someone, Omari Coleman I think.

Not that I want to put anyone off from attending, after all I should hope all on here are going to see how Dulwich are shaping up for the forthcoming season and the opposition is immaterial!

[mockney piers]

Watford were supposed to do the same and brought their youth team down after the omari deal, as far as I could tell, though I gather there was some bad blood between the teams at that point.

Yeah, turnstiles will be fine, seeing as tickets consist of those raffle ticket things off a roll, I don't think they're even set up for all-ticket.

Of course, Pardew used to play for the Hamlets, so maybe that's why he wants to honour the agreement in the right spirit.

Who else is going to the Charlton game on Wednesday? http://www.dulwichhamletfc.co.uk/index.php

I wonder if the Chris Dickson will be playing?

I'll be there Wednesday.

Did someone say ticket prices are up to ?8? Still ?1.30 for a programme?

I'll be there, there might be quite a few of us going as it goes.

I reckon you're right and Chris Dickson will probably be there.

Anyone going to the first game of the season, home encounter on the 16th?
