Looks as though some of the fans are grappling with the morality of having an estate agent as their sponsor: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/fans-of-hipster-football-club-dulwich-hamlet-slam-club-for-accepting-estate-agent-sponsorship-a3268806.html etc etc Funny thing is... they just voted in favour of a property developer, whose company is registered in an off-shore tax haven, to build 155 flats on their stadium, whilst shirking the requirement by the council to build a *minimum* of 35% affordable housing (they are proposing 16% because building the stadium for the ethical DHFC fans means they can't provide Southwark's minimum). The property developer also got creative with their viability assessment to make it all look less feasible so that they can pocket even more profit from the scheme. And I haven't even started on the fact that their planning application includes building on protected green space that they don't even own. How ethical is that??! http://35percent.org/2016-06-08-dulwich-hamlet-unviable-but-profitable/

Liam, yes agreed.. his posts are illogical, strange, rude etc but show all the signs of someone under huge stress and mental strain. There's only 1 of him but 4000 DHFC fans. I would suggest blocking him, ignoring and leaving well alone. Let's get back to the planning application.

I?ve been absolutely shocked by the behaviour of DHFC fans towards local resident Mr Govier. It is disgusting how this ?beating heart of the community? has taken to social media to troll and abuse someone who has been vocal in their opposition of the plan to build on Green Dale. DHFC fans seem to delight in raking up aspects of his past as if this bears any relation to the planning application that Hadley have just submitted. Yes he has a past conviction: so what? Hadley have just spent thousands of pounds on a PR Company to make DHFC appear to be a football club with community at their heart. This has translated into football matches in support of refugees, marches in support of the Carnegie Library Occupation etc but as soon as fans are left to their own devices they revert to trolling and abuse. If Four Communications, Bellenden and Hadley had suggested that DHFC play a game to support charities that offer help and advice to prisoners as they are released from prison to integrate them back into society, it would have been championed as evidence of how community minded DHFC are. But in practise they find someone locally with a chink in their armour and push him to the edge of insanity. How on earth are any of these abusive tweets helping your cause DHFC? Mr Govier has been accepted into the local community because he has more than shown his commitment to it. He was a dedicated councillor who actively helped many local residents with their problems. He used to be a member of Friends of Green Dale (there?s your answer Taper) and a quick google shows that he is the ?Meadow Manager? for Friends of Dog Kennel Hill Wood, which explains why I constantly see him working in the wood and meadow. There?s nothing more to it, why the hounding and constant questioning about his role in the FOGD as if there were something sinister at play? If DHFC fans put all the time and energy that they are expending on abusing this one local resident into reading the 236 documents that form the planning application we might then be able to have some real worthwhile discussion on here about the plans, which is why this thread was started in the first place.
