Now I must confess that the situation regarding Dulwich Hamlet Football Club affects me deeply. Non league football is in my blood. I supported Enfield FC giants of non league football until 1999 when the club chairman Tony Lazarou sold the ground for housing to property developers.
Dulwich Hamlet face a similar situation to Enfield FC. Dulwich was founded in 1893 and have four times won both the Isthmian League and the FA Amateur cup. The clubs landlords Meadow Residential basically want to evict the club and build housing on the ground. They are using the excuse of unpaid rent to evict the club. They have also taken legal action against the club to stop them using the clubs name Dulwich Hamlet FC. This is outrageous.
DHFC regularly attract crowds of over two thousand and the local community have rallied to the support of the club.The London mayor Sadiq Khan has came out in support of the club. Southwark council should place a compulsory purchase order on the clubs ground so the Dulwich Hamlet can continue to play at their Champion Hill ground.
DULWICH HAMLET FOOTBALL CLUB MUST SURVIVE.
Best wishes to all for the future.
