Yes they are.


With regard to your earlier question regarding advance sale of tickets for the Chelmsford City game, they are now on sale from the bar from 6pm every evening:


There was "no new building" on the previous planning application either but the Council said that the substantial works proposed would harm the open and undeveloped nature of the MOL and that was one of the five reasons why they deemed the application unacceptable. So terraces, fences around the pitch and walls around the stadium do constitute unacceptable development with regard to MOL.


You'll notice that Meadow craftily talk about "the stadium" when in fact they mean the main stand only, eg "The stadium will sit outside the MOL". They wouldn't be doing that if they were confident that the rest of the stadium development was acceptable.

A reminder that there's a public meeting at Dulwich Hamlet's bar this evening to discuss all matters to do with the future of the club including, but not restricted to, the proposals for redeveloping the ground:


"The directors of Dulwich Hamlet Football Club will be holding a public meeting at the club house bar at Champion Hill Stadium at 7.30pm on Monday January 28, 2019.


The purpose of the meeting is to update fans and the local community on the status and future of the football club after the events of the past year and invite questions from attendees.


The club will be happy to answer questions on any subject including the financial position of the club, the status and impact of the new leases for the stadium and surrounding areas and our position on the proposed new application the development of Champion Hill by Meadow Partners."

I?ve just attended the exhibition at Dulwich Hamlet for the development by Meadow. As expected nothing much extra information wise. when you sign in you can ask for email updates on the project and there are forms to fill in to give feedback.


The exhibition runs for another hour or so, until 2pm. If you have questions there are people there to talk to.


What little information there is can be found on http://www.championhillproposals.com/exhibition/. There is a model of the proposed site at the exhibition but it was surrounded when I was there and may well change before the formal planning application so I didn?t wait to see it.


I?d say if you are going to Sainsburys / will be in the area pop in but don?t make a special journey unless you want to ask questions.

A limited edition International Women's Day scarf will be on sale at this Saturday's home game v Dartford. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1099350013954740226


Profits to women's sport and charities.


Tickets are available at https://www.seetickets.com/event/dulwich-hamlet-vs-dartford/champion-hill-stadium-london/1317403

Um, hardly. According to the directors, they might now end the season level financially rather than making a substantial deficit, as they had feared. Only the increased attendances have turned that around. But the club is a long way away from being wealthy.

Hi Abe,


Interested in what you are basing this comment on and what your motivation is. This sort of uninformed and speculative comment can be quite damaging, whatever your objective.


As Brandnewguy says, the directors were quite candid about current finances at a recent fans meeting. Awash with cash is a position we can only dream of.

My motivation is curiosity. They seem to have gone from relying on "12th man" buckets to pay the wages to being able to afford a refurbished bar with Sky TV that is open 7 days a week, new toilets, new banners etc.


Quite a turnaround and I just wondered how they did it?

So your other post asking whether the council gave dhfc some money is unrelated?


Either way, you are best asking the club themselves rather than here, I've found them to be very helpful, transparent and communicative. Why don't you come to a game? The directors are always happy to talk to you on a match day.

It took me all of three seconds to Google "Dulwich Hamlet New Bar" and find this: https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport/rabble-rouser-why-dulwich-hamlets-new-bar-is-a-living-history/ - perhaps that would have been easier for you?

The answer is simple Abe. Having successfully impersonated you at lunch some time ago, I took things a step further and have been standing in for you at your pork factory when you've been out to lunch over the last six months. During this time I have secretly liquidated almost all of your company's assets (leasing them back on ridiculous terms, so that you wouldn't notice they are gone) and have given the proceeds to the Club. All you have left in fact is the land the factory is on, which you will need to sell to meet your liabilities. But never mind, you're in a prime location perfectly suited to a dense residential development scheme and so I'm sure you'll find plenty of buyers.

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built. 
    • I am looking for 1 unit which is working for £50 cash. Thank you
    • Can’t recommend the company enough, great service.
