Who knew the middle class of East Dulwich had been so marginalised for so long.

I'm sure the players love to be know as middle class

sure the LGBT+ community and black and women supporters had it so good
The players have it bad as they play under Gav. But it must be hard life earning £300 a week for two days work a week.
Not been this season but I’m sure there are just hundreds of non-white fans attending from super white east dulwich.
As for the LGBT+ community, it must be nice knowing they can be so accepted providing its by such a small section of society. A true breakthrough for them all.

That's surely the point - we all have to work harder at inclusivity and football for all
It's vital that are fan base is more reflective of our wider community
yes and at all levels

Our wider community is East Dulwich. We are the club most reflective of their community. I can’t criticise even Clasper for that.

Local Community at least 25% BME and 50% women
The club has much to be proud of - much more to do

The electoral ward is 28% but that isn’t the community the club are reaching out to or if they are something went very wrong as all I see are Clasper’s mates.

You just said you haven't been this season, so I'm not sure you've seen anything recently. Do you actually still support the club, or are you just a troll these days?
Waiting for Clasper to sack Gav or Gav to sack Clasper. One of the two anyway.
Love the fact you don’t go to a game for a bit and then you don’t support the club anymore. Not like the big fan that owns the club anyway.
Also love the fact that giving an opinion is trolling. Best keep quiet if you have a different point of view.
The people running the club are afraid enough of different views that they don’t even engage on here anyway. Preferring to hang out on twitter and facebook.

Not a Royal fan but the way I see it is... with this post Super League inquest afoot, and Big Willie's role as the president of the FA, this was always going to happen to some non league club. It would have been easier PR wise for them to rock up at a tiny non league club with three old white men and a dog in the crowd every home game. The fact they came to Hamlet, rather than 'easier' options is a big plus for the club.
Tracey Crouch has been listening to the club it seems.

Every cloud...
Tracy crouch is still a tory, even if she helped us, she is helping fuck over a lot of the country too... I don't think its great argument to say "well she helped us" when she is doing so much else wrong, the world is bigger than Dulwich, and we shouldn't get rid of our principles just because someone was helpful one time, when they are awful the rest of the time.

When you say 'our principles' who are you referring to? Suspect my politics may be similar to yours but the idea of the club being intrinsically left-wing always strikes me as a bit strange.
I think we can agree, Dulwich promotes equality...and has done a lot of work to show that...
I would also say we can agree that the Tories and the institution of the royal family promotes the opposite...

Well not really frankly. Tracey Crouch is a friend of the club. As opposed to Labour's Peter John who tried to frig us over. So party politics is an irrelevance to the club. Ditto the monarchy. Whereas the head of the government' football review and the president of the FA; I'd say they are worthy of a few hours of the club's effort if that means we can have our voice heard.
With friends like these who needs enemies...
also if we need to talk to them, already said that is fine... but you don't have to tweet and bootlick them afterwards.

We could have a dull conversation on how we define 'equality' but that probably belongs on parts of this site I go nowhere near. I'd say the club has done a lot of good things but I always liked Mishi's catch-all of describing it as 'doing the right thing'.
The royal family is of course a bizarre anachronism and the current government is the very worst of us. But Tracey Crouch baffles me. I accept obviously that she is a tory MP and therefore has to take her share of responsibility for what's playing out in this country but her voting record is at worst that of an old 'one nation' tory, who have almost entirely disappeared from their ranks now.
In truth, I suspect she would fit in well in Starmer's shadow cabinet (not a compliment) but the football stuff she's proposing is actually pretty wild and, whisper it, a little bit, socialist. Presumably they'll pull her back in line if it looks like she's getting somewhere with it.
Well, that killed some time while I was waiting for my sausages to be done.
What i got from that is, tracy crouch is still shit, Starmer is a tory and dulwich love licking boots.
typical liberal mindset, capitalize on all the work others have done, claim to agree with it and then shut them out and do the opposite.

Ah OK. Right you are.
