On 5th Feb. 2019 Diane's @HampsteadFC / @HampsteadWFC announced via an @MillwallLioness tweet that it was a Sister Club to #MillwallLionesses.
You know, because why break the duck egg of an account you have that's not tweeted since the summer of 2017.
Especially a smaller club?

Li'l sis' (est.1998) hasn't Tweeted since 2017.
Nor has its website actually been updated at all since July 2018.
Note, Dear Reader, that the 2018 update is only for the news sidebar of the page. 2016 was the last update for the actual women's section of the 'club'

No updates to any part of @HampsteadWFC website since 2012 after retirement of John Baker & its Committee.

So, Dear Reader, you may ascertain for yourself that Cuckoo Culligan has previously appropriated the feathered nest of a club with a good name, upon hard times, its badge...its history...and then moved on.
This may, at this point, sound a little familar amongst #Millwall fans.

The difference at The Den, from Diane's previous, is the existence of a TV deal, recent Barclays League sposorship deal & centralised funding/subsidies from @FA.
