The AFC Hornchurch supporters' match has now been cancelled, as Andy Tucker got no response from them, with regard to whether they were still up for the game, with the First Team game now being Friday night (tonight).
I'm not sure how many fans will make the trip tonight (hopefully 40 or 50, with it being FA Cup) but we will be boosted by a few of the Jalgpalihaigla lads who are in London for the England versus Estonia international tomorrow. It will be great to renew our aquaintance with some of them.
We have been asked by Hampton & Richmond Borough Supporters' Team if we would like to pop across South London on the 20th, & give them a game in the morning at Imber Court, the Metropolitan Police sportsground. (No, it won't be the main pitch!)
Somewhat embarrassingly as I type this Andy has had only three affirmative responses, which is-to be brutally blunt-a bloody disgrace! A Supporters' Team is about building bridges, socialising, enjoying the game regardless of ability or age, & promoting the name of Dulwich Hamlet.
Last season the 'Beaver Boys' came over to us, and we do NOT want to get a reputation for becoming a side that lets others down.
Funny how we can all make it when there's a European tour; or our own International Tournament at Champion Hill Stadium; or just down the road at Belair Park, or the all-weather at Dulwich College. There's ten people already shown an interest in going to Belgium in January. But only three to have a run out on a Saturday morning over in Esher? Something not right, surely?
So come on folks, the Hampton game isn't that far away, let Andy know you can play!
And it goes without saying that any Hamlet fans-old or new-who haven't turned out for us before, are more than welcome to offer their services.
