Obviously MA has already said the Cobbold Stand redevelopment is part of the medium to long-term plan, but I really can't see it being necessary unless we're established in the PL for 3+ seasons.
Looking at the ticketing site, there are plenty of non-RV seats available for Charlton and the club are struggling to sell tickets for the existing hospitality areas. Even the Norwich fixture still has availability.
If the numbers add up, then putting a new roof on the West Stand, adding the 4,000 seats MA mentioned and getting rid of all the RV seats is all that is required IMO.
Has anyone heard any more about these plans for the West Stand? |  | | |  |

This was said by MA in one of his interviews earlier this year |
Cheers, I missed the MA interview. |  | | |

How does that make sense though, if Town own the land it's built on? The details of the plans announced late last year indicated that the council would sell the land the current car park off Portman Road to the club, for the club to build the new multi story car park.
So town pay for, and own, the land and pay to build the car park. Then the council get the car park fees? Seems unlikely. |
They haven't bought the entire car park, they have bought some of land to allow for redevelopment and reorientation of the road?
IBC are planning to build a multistory and an aquatics centre on the site which they will run? [Post edited 23 Sep 14:39]

Part of the story about availability of RV tickets is the matchday pricing. £50 for restricted view (£43 for severly restricted) |  |

A note of caution. The building of what are now the Cobbold and the West stands cost a lot of money and at a time of not so deep pockets cost us valuable players.
You could argue that it is only now that the ground is nearing capacity that they are paying for themselves. |  | | |

You could argue the same about the North and South stand redevelopments, but over 20 years ago now. Imagine having a capacity of 22k.
I don't think we'll see much talk of redevelopment for a while yet. | |
