Dulwich Hamlet fans suggest chants for councillor following stadium victory

Jubilant Dulwich Hamlet supporters have come up with an unlikely fan favourite – Cllr Martin Seaton, chair of Southwark’s planning committee.

Plans for a new stadium for the team were approved at a marathon session of the committee on Monday night, much to the delight of many fans.

They have suggested, perhaps not entirely seriously, that a stand should be named in the new stadium after Seaton, who chaired the meeting.

Others have gone further, having changed their social media profile pictures to Seaton’s picture.

“Is a Seaton statue pushing it?” asked one, while another effusive supporter has even suggested a chant in his name.
