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.

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.

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.

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
