Will we crack on with plans for a new tier over the West Stand this summer or is it still a long term thing?
*assuming this is the plan before they then do the Cobbold. |  | | |  |

No the plan is that should we not get promoted the ground will be de-developed to pre 1938 standards with the chicken run getting reinstalled. Def info. |  | | |

Do you mean progress the design process? Or start the build?
They will be a long way off from being able to commence any kind of construction. |  |

They could crack on with submitting plans for a new tier over the West Stand.
But without any planning permission or the HUGE logistics in place, there is absolutely zero chance of that sort of construction this summer. [Post edited 1 May 15:22]

Yes I was thinking whether they would start submitting plans, then maybe start work next summer? | | | |

If we win tomorrow ...! It should be helpful that we won't be faced with 101 jobs to meet prem requirements this time round. Be good to hear much more about the building of the playing squad and the club, than blocked up stairs, how many miles of cabling, etc, etc.
I really, really hope the scouting network has been in place long enough for us to get in a much stronger group of players this time round.
But let's win tomorrow first and then we can all start the speculation! |  |

As well as the benefits of the upgraded scouting network we should in the summer window see the benefit of the upgraded training ground. We were told when the investment was announced that it was needed to attract new signings, implying that as it was it was putting potential off. Hard to believe as surely the chance to work with KMc would be more than enough, but we'll see. | |

We could even upgrade the Chairman/CEO. | |

No, but the club will have to install a new PA system which I think is planned anyway.
VAR announcements weren't a thing last season, but I assume PL requirements now state that stadium speakers must be clear and audible. | | | |

MA said the new tannoy system is going to cost a million. Improvements to expand the stadium are a bit more long term. New stands or extensions to existing requires planning etc and unlikely until season after next at earliest. Replacement of the Churchman’s is going to be very expensive so extensions to other stands will be needed first to accommodate all those fans who will have to forgo their seats in the churchman’s until the new stand is completed. Demolition would have to begin literally the day after the season ends and it may be possible to open lower tiers before the stand is completed in full. The plus side of building a new stand is the fact that the structure can be built quite quickly as it’s mostly steel and concrete. Fit out of the concourses etc takes most of the construction time | | | |

Does that mean the old corrugated bogs with no roof and cracked troughing are coming back ? Ethnic. |  | | |

How can a tannoy system cost a million pounds? Madness. |  |
