Well I know, but maybe not everyone does. They can't all be superfans like us, sitters. |  |

| Have I heard on 14:07 - Apr 14 by ParisBlue | Work to start immediately after the qpr game apparently. 7000 new seats, same as the capacity of the cobbild. |
Confirmed we won't be in the playoffs then? Awesome. |  | |  |

I bet he has half a thought to starting next season as Chairman, CEO and as the new manager. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost of Portman Road |  | |  |

So is that a 'not this summer' or a 'maybe this summer' As your normal aim is to spoil any excitement we might have, and extinguish any glimmer of hope, your lack of a 'Not as I understand it' response on this leaves a lot of questions. |  |

Haha ! |  |

It's cropped up a few times, the idea of building on top of the West Stand to give space for a proper rebuild of the Cobbold. However I don't think there is any reasonable or logical indication of doing that this summer is there? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

How immediate? If we pitch invade will we each be given a new seat and a set of bolts and asked to crack on? |  | |  |

| Have I heard on 14:24 - Apr 14 by docklandsblue | We were told it on a tour a couple of weeks before F****e and co visited the club too. The implication was that they were going to go up another level in the pioneer as a temporary fix. Don’t know if that impacts what planning permission would be required? |
Half the old boys in the west stand have enough trouble climbing the stairs to the top tier already! |  | |  |

| Have I heard on 14:15 - Apr 14 by The_Major | It did indeed. I don't think it was called the Cobbold Stand until the nineties - possibly after Patrick Cobbold passed away? I've got t a hazy half remembered memory of David Sheepshanks announcing it? |
It’s been cobbold stand longer than that |  | |  |

Do you not think this has been applied for some time ago , it’s obviously an off the cuff decision, possibly about to be announced. |  | |  |

Get your arris on the tour and perhaps you will get told the same , obviously think it’s a wind up with the down votes . |  | |  |

| Have I heard on 14:01 - Apr 14 by backwaywhen | Strange as this rumour started from the guy who does the ground tours , some friends were told on the tour last weekend . |
To be fair, some of the recent stadium tours haven't been exactly full of reliable info or covered in glory... |  |

It's not the sort of thing that you can keep quiet. If planning permission is required, there MUST be public notices, consultations, and discussions at council meetings, and all the documentation must be on the relevant planning portal. |  |

Phil why do you think the tour guide is telling fans , also Ashton has approved he is allowed to spill the beans as it’s being announced shortly ? Don’t shoot the messenger. |  | |  |

Have they not considered the Coop Stand instead? |  |

I assume they're just repeating something they've heard. Even if it's set to be announced soon, talking about it wouldn't have been officially OKed. |  | |  |
