I wonder who's will be finished first.

I do like the architectural references to the railway arches in the stand.

You do of course wonder if the residential part of the scheme will happen but not the stadium expansion!

Interesting. This has been going on for years. The ground and the surrounding area are owned by Lewisham council and ripe for development.

A former Mayor and his dodgy mates tried to push through a plan where the club lost the car park and the building company the Mayor owned built a housing estate, brown envelopes all around.

The Guardian did a good job at the time uncovering the blatant corruption. Millwall fans then let it be known they would not accept the plan and it died a death.

I guess the new plan will be acceptable as the club owners are involved and they are respected by the fans.

It will be interesting to see if the ground every gets done they can't fill a 20,000 seater stadium at the moment.

Steve Parish talking at the awards night.

“We’re really moving forward with this stadium plan, which I know has been slower than we want, but there really is progress in the back now. We’re committed to doing it and really give us all something to be proud of,” said Parish.


“We’re starting to do the preliminary work in the summer. We’re going to have to move the away changing rooms to underneath the Holmesdale (Road – stand). We’ve also got to move the offices out of the Main Stand so that we can use the current offices as a concourse.”

"Genuine question". When did the mayors of London boroughs gain executive (ie decision-making) powers, as in this story about Lewisham? I haven't lived in London for a while now, but when I did live there, the mayor of each borough was an annual ceremonial appointment involving a golden chain of office, a bit like in 'Trumpton'.

"Genuine opinion". 'Their' plans look a lot more impressive than 'our' plans

When I saw it those "railway arches" kind of more reminded me of the colosseum which seemed appt referencing the crowd attending to watch the gladiators (opposition) being eaten by the lions (Millwall)

There is a difference between more exciting plans and the ability to execute though. Not saying we'll be first but they have to finance the deal to rebuild the entire ground and without PL football i think that might be a struggle for Millwall. Hopefully Parish is able to show us the amazing new stand which lifts our budget levels and therefore ability to buy in players with a bigger budget so we're not just punching up all the time.

Could you tell me how to find this on the website?
I can't find it anywhere. It's really useful.

Luck.

Seriously, i haven't really got a clue, there are so many sub-sections & they have sub-sections as well, i knew i'd seen one a few years ago so i tried to find it & did, where, no idea. I started off via 'Tickets' but as the ST's have sold out & we only have one home game left i don't think it will be available.

IF, i find it again, i'll let you know & vice-versa if you do.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Most internet browsers have a search facility by website. This is an example for Google. You will need to add the website address e.g. [Link] to restrict it to one site.

So google your search engine for how to search by website or Advance Search.

He's over South Norwood Lakes looking for a Newt he can place in the car park, just so that he can say he tried but there's wildlife there so we can't build I'm afraid.

Glasner recently alluded to the sale of Olise with the high cost of building the new stand - like the funding is dependent on selling one or two of our jewels ... start the building now, let them tear up the prem next season, and sell them next summer when they still have two years left on their contracts for huge bucks when all the big boys are fighting over them. COME ON STEVE -.-'

I went on a stadium tour at Christmas and we talked about the new stand and the funding and assuming they weren't telling porky pies, the funding for the new stand and the funding for the squad are completely different and not connected.
