That's weird, I just looked at it and sent them a message!
Additionally, I'm tweeting Southwark councillors in the South Camberwell and neighbouring wards, Hi. What's your opinion on the Champion Hill football ground in SE22 being bought by Hadley to build on the site and Greendale? Will post all replies here.

Their fans bought the club out of administration I think. Problem with that as far as Dulwich go (aside from them not being in administration) is that it wouldn't sort out the ground issue.

wrexham fans saved their stadium didn't they?

Hey, Dean Yager!
Grassroots organising, supporters trust and a fucking long arse legal battle with previous owners. Had the Council on side as well, which helped a lot.
www.pompeytrust.com might be a start.

i'm going to read that thread tonight when i'm not at work. it seems that there's a lot of good ideas. perhaps we should call an IRL meeting of anyone interested in organising against this, set up a front group to draw in signatures and get solidarity from outside etc etc.

Brighton might be worth a go as well. They've certainly got plenty of experience with all this sort of stuff.

One of the three local ward councillors, will oppose a new ground on Greendale: https://twitter.com/StephenGovier/status/431057243841105920
I want a long term future for @DulwichHamletFC and strongly oppose any loss of Metropolitan Open Land.
And then I'm like,
Thank you for your reply. Would you oppose knocking down the current ground and/or planning permission for development there?
And he's all,
I am sure the current facilities @DulwichHamletFC could be improved upon for the benefit of not just DJFC but the wider community
(note the Iberian spelling of 'Jamlet' there)
(Can we embed tweets here?)

Does the 'Metropolitan Open Land' status include the artificial pitches, does anyone know?

also, we ought to be in contact with the official DHST. is anyone here involved in that group in any way that enables them to act as a spokesperson? i'm a member but only recently joined so havne;t had any real contact yet.

Is Veronica Ward one of the local ward councillors? I know that she was instrumental in ensuring Fisher FC's new ground being built and she supported the efforts of the club to return to Rotherhithe. She did this in her capacity as council cabinet member for culture, leisure, sport and volunteering. From her previous efforts, it would seem likely that she would be on our side, and would actively support our cause.

South Camberwell so I'd think so - it must be very close if it doesn't reach to the ground.

Yes.
I don't think they have a spokesperson.
Yep. She ain't on twitter. I'll email her. We should perhaps each email her: veronica.ward@southwark.gov.uk

well, we need to be in communication so that our campaigns complement each other. does it have a chairperson or other hierarchical figures, does anyone know?

Peter John, leader of Southwark Council and the second of three local ward councillors, also opposes a new ground on Greendale: https://twitter.com/peterjohn6/status/431072850293030912
Absolutely opposed to any development which jeopardises DHFC or Greendale
Not looking so good for Hadley Property Group's promises.

What hand over are they talking about?

Of the ownership to the development co.

I thought it was listed as an asset of community value?

Good point - maybe it's not that then.
