Who would fund that ? The club do not own the New Den so cannot use monies from sale of current real estate. Would Lewisham Council spend taxpayers money or would the stadium be tied into new development cost of regeneration of area and funded by developers. Can’t see that being overly popular but what do I know.
No chance of that happening, but it's a nice looking artist's impression...
No way have they got the finances to take a perfectly acceptable (if dull) 20k stadium and completely rebuild it. It would be pointless too. An expanded main stand with more function rooms, lounges and boxes, that might happen though
About a 0.5% chance of that Millwall stadium development ever happening, but it’s nice to give people due for early release something to live for - “don’t shank that screw, you might be able to go to a pretend hypothetical stadium if you can just adhere to your parole conditions”.
For a very start they’ll have to begin selling out for games against teams other than Charlton, which has proven a huge issue since they built the new stadium. Best of luck to them, I’d imagine the catastrophe of Universal Credit has impacted the liquidity of their average fan which has a dampening effect on attendances, but at least they have (misplaced) ambition.

Better ask PV as he is working on the project, I believe.
I look forward to being locked in there for hours post game whilst contemplating yet another usual warrior- like derby performance from our lads in future.

A. The current one isn't exactly old.
B. Their average crowd this season is less than 14k.
Be a complete waste of time and money.

I'm easy either way. It's really not worth the vein popping.
