Maybe its gone beyond that now CE, in as much as i can see how blinkered,insular and small-minded some/most fans are - its almost as if The Valley is a shrine, and is ours forever more. I cant stand it that people cant see progress, to me, its so obvious, its on our doorstep, it can only be good for the club and the fans and yet it seems most fans want to stick to their old routine , their old worship place, and are just not prepared to look at the 'bigger picture', and shout down anybody who thinks differently, - it drives me crazy tbh. To me its so obviously a move that could move us up to a new level - an opportunity to have sponsors like Citibank,HSBC,State Street instead of Betdag,Titan lifts (sorry ) and Andrews air conditioning - its just plainly obvious ffs !!!!!!!!!Covered End said:

NB I don't know why you are going on about the Peninsula, because unless I'm mistaken, there is no longer the land available to build a medium/large stadium. I can't remember the detail, but that boat sailed some years ago IIRC.
its an opportunity that i bet someone like Berylson is watching closely, especially in their situation with their ground.
I really, really dont get it.
THERE IS NO LONGER A PENINSULA OPTION (unless I am mistaken).
'UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN' - means you dont FUCKING KNOW.
Sorta sums up the mentality of the people i have been talking about.
I'm a bit peed off after my hairdresser was a tad gung ho with his scissors this afternoon.
I'm trying to resist that bar of Galaxy in the cupboard.
Plus, to top it all, I've run out of wine.
I can just about cope with all of the above ....
....but you're REALLY getting on my t*ts now !
Isn't it past your bedtime ?0 -

I sometimes hit balls at this driving range using the upper tier. Every time I can't help visualising a new sports stadium on this site within the next 5 years.

@JamesSeed - you've given me an open goal .... trams it is, then. Charlton was the centre of the London tram scene. The Central Repair Depot alongside the railway line to Angerstein Wharf was the main maintenance facility for the entire London Transport system. Access was via a short side turning called Felltram Way, which is still there today. As the trams were withdrawn from service they were scrapped in Penhall Road, near the Barrier. For several years after the system finally closed on 5 July 1952 the CRD remained open for the large fleet of trolleybuses, but they too went the way of the trams, being withdrawn over the period 1959-1962. The tram routes which served Charlton were the 36, 38, and 40. Another route in the vicinity was the 58 to Blackwall Tunnel via Blackwall Lane. Lastly, not a tram but nonetheless a fixed route, was the guided busway planned to shuttle between the Millenium Dome and Charlton Station during the Millenium Exhibition, but the system never worked and the rubber-tyred vehicles only operated as conventional buses during their brief period of service.JamesSeed said:

'UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN' - means you dont FUCKING KNOW.
I'm 99% certain I've read more than once that the land that was available no longer is.
I've read documents saying that the option a few years back was limited to a stadium with a maximum capacity @10,000.
This news is so old I can't be 100% sure as I have a poor memory and I don't like to say I'm 100% certain if I'm not.
This has morphed into a general discussion about the dinosaur attitude of Charlton fans generally.
We all know/understand/appreciate/are aware that the Peninsular option *might* and i stress *might* not be available - but my gripe is with the negative attitude of fans towards any such move should it arise.
Maybe if you had taken the time to read it fully you might have been able to come on here with a more erudite message rather than blurting out your big-i-am capital letters or accuse people of being drunk !
Try and work out why the gates are down. Maybe it's not just to do with the location? They were big before, there's no reason they can't be substantially increased again. You need to offer a decent product, a club and a team to believe in, and trams [oops, I've just blown it....]
Psst - has he gone??!!

205 new posts, great I thought, maybe a take over is actually 'imminent' for once. No, unfortunately not, it's Donald Trump have a complete and utter meltdown, at least he changed platforms this time, must be on a Twitter ban.5

As this discussion has touched on everything bar nuclear physics and needlework I see no reason to exclude the good old trams.
So - one more video (no more, I promise), but this is real hard-core ....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ5ynpnsCI4&t=1s
