Down to new landowners not wanting to renew the lease. Heard the other sports clubs there could be in same position. I do hope Bexley throw out any planning applications for non sport use on the site.
His last facebook post on this stated the new landowner has not responded to his invite to meet. I do hope with all the negative press going round they accept his offer. Even the Wapping Lie Machine aka The Sun has picked it up on their online platform.
I believe the site is designated Metropolitan Open Space. If it is shown as that in Becley Councils local plan it does make it harder to seek change of use for development according to a former Greenwich councillor I asked last night.
Lot of posts on facebook and forums asking why VCD cannot groundshare. As far as I can see the nearest suitable facility that currently does not groundshare is Ebbsfleet unless someone knows anything closer.
You have to ask yourself why they wouldn't groundshare / try to keep going. They might be brassic, and they probably can't get a crowd in most games to make it worthwhile. Clubs closing down isn't new - culture as we know it is being eroded and VCD is another terrible but inevitable loss.
There are a couple of posts on Facebook indicating SEDons are taking over the ground. Supposedly a statement coming out later today.
They are and it's disgusting how a 110 year old club can be kicked out and then these absolute ######## morons are all of a sudden taking it over..
There is more to it than you might have read on social media. SE Dons have moved into a vacant ground. I wasnt happy with how Forest Hill Park were finished but they havent done the dirty on VCD.

I'm not a fan of SE Don's and the way they conduct them at games, but you are correct, Se dons have just taken a opportunity. It's the people who have allowed that to happen that are the issue.
