Metal fencing outside Dulwich Hamlet F.C. on 14th March 2018 in East Dulwich, South London in the United Kingdom. Meadow Residential, an American property investment fund, last week evicted Dulwich Hamlet F.C. and recently set up new metal fence outside the ground preventing access. Meadow have always wanted to turn Champion Hill into flats. Formed in 1893, the Premiere Division, Isthmian League team Dulwich Hamlet F.C. have played at Champion Hill since 1902. Beginning at the Freemans Ground on Champion Hill until 1912, before moving to an adjacent plot of land, where they played until the opening of the Champion Hill stadium in 1931. During the 199192 season the club played at Tooting & Mitcham United's Sandy Lane ground, whilst a new, smaller stadium was built on the same site, opening for the start of the 199293 season, and have played at the ground since.
