If you’re along tomorrow, PSA that Cheshunt are running a food bank at tomorrow’s game. Pack some non-perishables and donate if you can!

Just @realbedfordfc.bsky.social's owner going on a podcast with fascist criminal grifter Tommy Robinson.

I wonder how the club staff, the players and the people of Bedford feel about that?

It's a winning start for the men at Champion Hill this season. Will those good vibes spread to the women's side of the club?

We'll find out with our home season opener tomorrow, and we'll see YOU there #dhfc

If you enjoyed that, how about making women's football a weekly thing?

It could be support us (yay!), it could even be going out to watch a WSL team (boo!).

But either way, women's football doesn't continue to grow and progress without good people on the terraces.

See you there?

This morning's biggest news story is, of course, that the hills song made it into the Observer observer.co.uk/culture/podc... #dhfc

You should really listen to the whole thing, but 28m 18s if you can't wait to skip to our bit (then go back and listen to the rest).

Look, we're going to warn you now, the song for the new manager is going to be very taxing.

Please spend the summer doing your diaphragm exercises

Right, think I managed not to mess it up this time

Today’s L&SERWFL Trophy final between Dulwich Hamlet Women Reserves and Clapton CFC Women was abandoned with Clapton winning 2-0 after fans from both clubs refused to remove Palestine flags and a banner reading “Show Genocide The Red Card”.
We want to unequivocally state our support for the fans of both clubs who refused to bend to the demands of final hosts Maidstone United FC, and every player who refused to play if the flags and banners were removed.
The facts in Gaza are clear and widely accepted: the death toll in Gaza since October 2023 is estimated to be over 54,000; a United Nations Special Committee and Amnesty International have both concluded that the state of Israel is perpetuating a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza; this week the UK government issued a joint statement with the leaders of France and Canada calling on the Israeli Government to stop its military operations in Gaza.
Sport has long played an important role in putting pressure on governments perpetrating human rights abuses, from South Africa during the apartheid era to Russia since its invasion of Ukraine. Those who argue that political protest does not belong in sport are either ignorant or are deliberately ignoring that history.
This is particularly true in the women’s game — access to the game has always been political, and even now, women continue to fight for the right to play football.
We don’t protest at our games because we think one protest in a regional football competition will change what is happening in Gaza. But we do it knowing that every protest joins a drumbeat of defiance that is slowly convincing the world it cannot ignore the daily murders perpetuated by the state of Israel.
We are, for the avoidance of any doubt, against genocide, against anti-Semitism, against Islamophobia, and against prejudice in all its forms.
We are proud of the behaviour of Dulwich Hamlet fans today, and we are equally proud to join hands with the fans of Clapton CCFC, who hav…

Scurrilous songs! We can't imagine what you mean... 😉

But yes, we're glad both sets of fans were able to turn something stupid and ugly into something beautiful
