There was always talk of Arsenal going to the O2, always had visions of 50,000 Gooners missing kick off because a lorry broke down in the Blackwall Tunnel
Sports/Leisure/Education Complex A multi-use facility is to be centrally positioned within the masterplan. A key role for it would be to provide outdoor entertainment linking with and complementing the offer at the O2 Arena. The complex could also be integrated with an elite sports facility or university. At ground level the complex could contain retail and hospitality uses creating an active edge when not in use.
What's more interesting is the proposed DLR extension to N.Greenwich. It seems to be coming from Charlton, rather than linking with Greenwich/Cutty Sake!
Mind you, proposals are exactly that.... Greenwich Waterfront Transit, anyone?
Sounds more like the Club are worried another club might take up residence!
They dont understand our club if they are. How many people living locally would start going because a new team moves there when they dont go already.
Handful of tourist football fans maybe. Really dont think it would detract from our support as surely after the last few years of torrid shite in this league and we still get 20k+ gates shows we have a loyal fanbase unlikely to have their heads and wallets turned by a shiny new soulless lego kit.
Forget what I previously said, memory was playing tricks.
Arena is the same size as the O2 with accompanying photos of baseball stadiums & a sketch of a stadium concourse from the outside, reminds me of the Allianz in shape.
Does the other masterplan, Charlton Riverside not show your stadium still there?

Made this mistake twice before. We should not leave the Valley.
Yeah, we can consider any plans, but it'd be a huge mistake to leave the Valley (again).
Are we really so insecure about our future that we couldn't bear another club on our doorstep?
And AEG run the O2

The DLR thing seems to be a proposed extension linking Canning Town with Eltham/Falconwood, so could well have a Charlton station?
Maybe they'd merge...
