Rio Ferdinand attempted to buy the home of Dulwich HamletDulwich Hamlet have vowed to fight on despite seeing a £10m bid for the club's home ground made by Rio Ferdinand turned down. Ferdinand offered to buy the well-supported Bostik League club's Champion Hill stadium from American owners Meadow Residential, who have been involved in a development dispute with Southwark Council. Meadow had hoped to build a development at Champion Hill and construct an all-purpose stadium on a site next door to the club's current home. Dulwich were threatened with eviction before Christmas, but reluctantly signed a licence through to the end of the season, which they now fear could be the last at Champion Hill. "We intend to see out the rest of our license at Champion Hill, & implore all fans to come & #FillTheHill for the remainder of the season.
