[Football] Dulwich Hamlet

[The Large One]

Dulwich Hamlet have been told to stop using their own name and initials by the owners of their ground...

What a bunch of utter scumbags.

 

[Springal]

Sounds like some direct action against those involved is needed

 

[Cheshire Cat]

"Meadow's issue is with the club's owner and board attacking Meadow in public, not with the fans or the wider community," a Meadow spokesman said."

Meadow's issue seems to be more to do with the fact they can't build on the ground.

 

[Seagulltonian]

Again, Football grounds in built-up areas are valuable real estate, and eventually these people will want to cash in on their "Investment".
Mmmm, where does that sound familiar from?

Luckily for us, with major determination and direct action, we have had the ultimate happy ending
But if Paul Samarah hadn't read that little clause, and queried it, who the fudge knows where we may have been??

Good luck to Dulwich Hamlet, and any other clubs going through similar struggles currently

 

[Hamilton]

The world has gone mad where this is allowed to happen.

 

[timbha]

at least they won 3-1 at Billericay tonight

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Unbelievable and disgusting. Some good tweets from Danny Baker on the subject tonight, hopefully a lot of national coverage will help sort this.

Glad to see them stuff Tamplin’s lot tonight.

DHFC are about five mins from my house so go and watch occasionally. They have phenomenal support in the local community and the council are coming out firmly behind them. Even talk that they may impose a compulsory purchase order on the ground from the owners who clearly have now run out of patience and want to kill the club in a hope it will green light their dev plans. It does look like they may need to groundshare somewhere until that happens though.


One of the most surprising things is the club get around 2k supporters per game in the seventh tier yet somehow lose money. Very dodgy.

They are wankers - I play in a seven a side league on Green Dale, which is ground owned by them, and adjacent to the actual ground. Since late last year, they've kept a line that the 'floodlights dont work' and stopped a league that has been running for 20 years - All as part of the 'redevelopment' grand plan. Mind, even Rio Ferdinand's/Zamora's buy out will kick us out..

On the money side, i think Dulwich has had a huge players wages bill for years- Apparently it was £8k a week at end of 2017.. more than any other team in the league (except Billericay this year)

the greed emanating from property developers in southern England is quite disgusting......non payment of subcontractors is rife with representatives using the old two weeks in advance and a week in hand , basically getting three weeks work out of usually foreign tradesmen before " knocking " them for "sub standard" work and using back charges to negate the money owed......really quite sickening to see it happening in this day and age.

A well known house builder is like that, they send out what they call defect notices which claim shoddy or faulty work therefore contra charge you. I inspect our work when we get one 90% of the time it’s due to other trades or movement in a timber frame construction and therefore chargeable to the house builder. I got so good at knocking them all back that my boss got a call from someone high up saying if I didn’t stop charging for them all we possibly could loose our contract.

I'm talking commercial work in south and central London but i doesn't surprise me at all to hear it goes on is residential as well.......gone are the days of having tradesmen running jobs , it's all project management tossers with their i pads and pointy shoes, all important deadlines and quotas and not a fercking clue between them ........kaaants , one serial offender i know of is about to get spanked 10k a week penalty rates from the 18th March because basically blokes will not work for them and the ones that are working for them refuse to work more than 2 weeks in hand.

Message to DHFC fans: Non violent,legal direct action against Meadow, as we did against Archer. Nothing illegal, everything above board, focussed (no pun intended) and for as long as it takes. That's the way to win.

who give a monkeys what people look like when supporting their local football team. trying to make out they are a paper of the people, when then could not be anything further from the truth. 's

I am right? The club sold the ground to an American Property company for under 6 million. I wonder what was going on there?

It was bought by Meadow from a property company, DHPD Ltd, which went into administration in 2014.

It wasn't my development was it?

They do it on all the sites they have James, It is their way of getting out of incompetence and rushing jobs. We are not supposed to lay flooring unless the heating and water is on etc etc, we have fitted flooring and when we have finished and hoovering up they have come in with scaffolds and painted the ceilings !! There is movement in timber framed houses and they have issues with subfloor movement alot. Anyway I am on a rant now.... Yours is ok as it is concrete subfloor no issues there.

Hope your all settled in now young man.
