Quite who is involved in this process and what the motivations of the various parties are remains murky to say the least. However, it could lead to a more general trend of stadium land being seized in the name of regeneration.
Millwall face the prospect of being forced out by gentrification in their own backyard. Any council decision is likely to be contested in the High Court.
