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.
I like the look of the stadium and it looks like the entire area for miles around is having a makeover. No more huge rubbish incinerator or train tracks or industrial units and it looks like they have swept and washed the place. But as a Charlton supporter I do like the architecture and the nod to the past in the way it includes railway arches.
Typical Addick thinking of them as railway arches! I see it as a nod to the colosseum where gladiators fought lions! i also see the bars on the windows as a nod to Belmarsh 😂

A nod to the Colosseum would be abandoned ruins where “sport” has long since gone. I think if the go with a makeover it will be scaled back somewhat from the fantasy pictures, probably build crap housing for maximum profit just clad the original fronts in feather edge to give it a back yard shed feel.
Good luck to em really. It was a wrench them leaving the old shit hole, they have now been taught to sit so the next stage is a bit more comfort of surroundings... rehabilitation.
Let them have as many new stadiums as they can pay for. No problem. The issue for both Millwall and West Ham is both left atmospheric and authentic original grounds, and they will never get that impassioned feeling back again. My advice to Millwall when designing their new ground is to employ an acoustics expert. If it is the third one by the way will it be named after dramatic film music # den den deeeennnn # ?
This is a joint venture between Berylson and Nimer. It’s obvious that’s why Duchatelet has been left holding The Valley. It’s us on the move as well as Millwall. The new stadium will take its name from both clubs heritage. ‘The’ from Millwall and ‘Valley’ from Charlton. The New Valley. The reason that it’s possible is that it’s not being constructed in Deptford but on the peninsular. Will be announced when Tahnoon Nimer informs the fans of ESI’s two year plan and five year plan. The stadium like The Allianz in Munich will be coloured red on Charlton match days and adjustable in hue to whatever shade of blue Millwall are wearing at that time. Likewise the Millwall crest. Will be a wrench for both clubs but you cannot stand in the way of progress. A 60k stadium will be essential for Charlton in The Champions League and Premiership and opening half a lower tier stand for Millwall games will be straightforward. Don’t shoot the messenger.

@ShootersHillGuru How many times have you got to be told??? It's not a wrench, it's a spanner!!!

Great plan from SHG and dare I say a bit of a scoop?
One thing they do need to get right, is plenty of parking/storage for redundant Police vehicles/riot shields when Charlton are at home in the Premiership/Champions League that can be easily got at in a quarter open stadium, when two toothless 50 year old Spanners are bashing the shit out of each other whilst Millwall are losing to Carshalton Athletic in the 2nd division.

CBA with those links. Who won the rights to build properties, their owner or Lewisham council? Either way shock horror the ground is O.K. and there's no relocation to Kent.

A developer called Renewal (controversial because of links to a former Lewisham Council leader) was given planning approval: http://www.newbermondsey.com
It's a bit like Greenwich Peninsula where the council isn't directly building anything, but would very much like it to happen.

Or is that going ? (Can't see that happening TBH)
(stand by most of this though)
But as a Charlton supporter I do like the architecture and the nod to the past in the way it includes railway arches.
Any expansion would only be needed for the away end so maybe feasible.
i also see the bars on the windows as a nod to Belmarsh 😂

Snouts in the trough?

Certainly.
"Could you quote some of the anger please. I've had a look but can't find any."
Away fans will have to walk the length of the ground, so no "Coward's Way" available.
He also suggests a groundshare on the cards while they do the work, possibly at The Valley.

I don't think any reporter actually sat through the meeting to cover it, which is dire even by SE London local journalism standards.
The planning papers/webcast are all here if anyone's really keen/bored (the doc "SDC Presentation" give you a basic overview) https://councilmeetings.lewisham.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=194&MId=6565
