I wonder how likely it is that Meadows will just apply for and get retrospective planning permission ?

Does anyone understand - and can explain to me - Meadow's motives in these v hostile acts ?

registering DHFC trademarks etc

locking them out of the ground

erecting fences

restricting access

It may be obvious but I can't see what they gain out of it ?

Is it the demise of DHFC ?

Um ,but why the fences ? Some long term plan of adverse possession ?

[micromacromonkey]

Bullying tactics most likely. Relatively cheap activities designed to intimidate and wear down.

Maybe they thought if the ground is worthless they would be able to build the flats on the stadium site as per their original plan.... but now they have p***ed the community off there is no way they will get permission. They should have taken Rio Ferdinand's offer.

[intexasatthe moment]

"intimidate and wear down" ...what DHFC ? So they'll give up and share a ground elsewhere ?

I can't help thinking that it's just just as likely to rally support and encourage DHFC to carry on ?

Yeah why didn't they take Rio's offer? Were they just cutting their nose to spite their face?

I believe they value it in or around 13m and Rio only offered a measly 10m

[Amanda1979]

Apparently any further contact by Rio has been ignored. I wonder if the council will somehow link up with Rio on the affordable housing project as well as the obvious sports interest

Thanks Amanda.

> what time this debate will be?

It's an adjournment debate*. Last half hour of the sitting.

* Explained here:https://www.parliament.uk/about/how/business/debates/adjournment/. Friday sittings are said at http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/occasions/calendar/#jump-link-2 to be from 9.30am to 3pm, though presumably they can run late or early. It'll be in Hansard pretty soon anyway.

It should also be viewable on BBC Parliamentary channel, freeview 232.

[intexasatthe moment]

I believe it was scheduled for 2.30

DHFC statement

" Helen Hayes MP's adjournment debate on our situation scheduled for 2:30pm in the House of Commons on Friday (16th),"

[EDOldie]

She's on

[eastdulwichhenry]

What would we expect to get out of the debate in parliament? Other than messages of support, I guess. I assume they can't decide anything legally binding.

[EDOldie]

Well I for one thought it was very good. Helen Hayes made a strong and impassioned speech with good support from her own benches. The Minister for Sport knows the club (she saw games there when she lived in Herne Hill) and was very supportive and my understanding was that unless Southwark, the Club and the developers could sort it out she would appoint someone to do it. Well done Helen Hayes for bringing it to such national attention. I'm not making any political point at all but we appear to have a first class constituency MP.
