Transpontine is a Roman/Latin term for over the bridge I think. So South London


The Tuscany reference refers to an objection to the building of the current stadium, back in the 80s. An objector said it would compromise the view up Champion Hill, which he in turn he compared with Tuscany.


Similar contemporary issues now of course where some are objecting to the planned development of a new stadium by over-egging the importance of an unlovely and seldom used piece of scrub land

Yeah, this. Over the water/river/ocean. So just a reference to being on the "other side" I guess.


Cracking 4-1 victory on Sat. Great game, high turnout and wonderful atmosphere.


Forza Hamletti!

Eh? Green Dale fields have been there a damn sight longer than the current stadium. It's a wonderful patch of green and space and light. It doesn't have to be 'used' to have 'value'. That's the language of the developers, whose only interest in propping up the club is building dozens of flats on the current pitch site to make tens of millions in profit. Take care if you sup with that particular devil.

Did you go to any of the presentations a month ago? Lots of detail there. Can't find a link though.


Basic idea was to link Greendale to St Francis park and to DKH woods, including with a green walk though the housing development. There were also plans to improve the green space on Greendale, with the new stadium broadly where the AstroTurf currently sits.

Yes, I know about the plans the Council have if the lease reverts to them, which is questionable. Hadley, the current leaseholders, have no such plans at the moment. Apart from putting some play equipment in one corner of Green Dale fields (which I see no particular reason for), there's almost nothing the Council plans to do with the open green space. Hadley wanting to build an entire football club on the astroturf pitch is a different matter, however...

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
