Manchester firm says its plans for the south London club鈥檚 New Den ground will be revealed in August
Millwall Football Club is hoping to expand the capacity of its New Den stadium in Bermondsey, south east London.
Manchester-based architect AFL has been tasked with designing the expanded ground, although the Championship club has not yet released any details of its proposals.
鈥淚t鈥檚 in the very early stages,鈥� a spokeswoman for AFL said. 鈥淭here are some initial ideas which have been in the works for some time, but [the club] is being purposefully vague at this stage.鈥�
The full plans will be put up for public consultation sometime in August this year, she said.
The all-seater New Den (pictured) currently holds just over 20,000 fans.
Founded in 1885, Millwall moved to the stadium from its previous home, called simply 鈥榯he Den鈥�, in 1993.
Last year the club fought off attempts by Lewisham Council to compulsorily purchase land around the New Den which Millwall claimed would have resulted in it having to find a new home.
In May AFL, which is working with Fosters + Partners on Qatar鈥檚 main stadium for the FIFA World Cup in 2022, revealed it was working with the Turkish football authorities as they sought to secure the country鈥檚 role as hosts for the European Championships in 2024.
