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? |  | | |  |

It’s not necessary in terms of capacity it’s but it’s an aging stand which will need replacing.
I haven’t heard anything regarding it’s development - think it’ll be extended/replaced/modernised if we were to yo-yo for the next few seasons between the top two divisions. [Post edited 23 Sep 11:22]

I think people get a bit over concerned with the number of seats.
The real head turner is non-matchday revenue. The stadium really has to be earning money 360 days a year to get where we want to be through conference facilities et al.
Even apparently simple things like being able to host the end of season dinner at PR instead of Millsoms gives us an advantage.
It’s not a given we’ll wait to be ‘established’ in the Prem. |  |

It’s not just about extra seats though.
Stand isn’t really fit for purpose.
Prices are ridiculous now as well, that will be putting people off.
Go back up again and we’ll sell out quickly again. |  |

Which is fine and understood by most people, but there were other people last season demanding we demolished half the ground and built some monster new stand immediately because they couldn't get a ticket instantly to every game they wanted.
Those of us with experience of this stuff said, just wait and see and rebuild the stands when necessary. | | | |

10 min queue for a pee at half time! Needs sorting |  | | |

The stand simply isn’t fit for purpose anymore - anyone who uses it knows that . The view is good but getting into it, circulating when inside it and attempting to use any facilities means it’s conference league at best. | | | |

You make a point
I went to the club shop on the weekend when visiting family and its a bit annoying that ( is it burleys bar?) Wasn't open for a drink and a meal. I do think the club are missing a trick there. It wouldn't bring in thousands but something had just finished on the old practice pitch and there were a large number of people there, they could have had a fair few popping in for lunch etc. |  |

Not to mention the hand-basin water availability. Quite often, they only turn it on at the end of the match. Occasionally, it’s also on at half-time. And very rarely is it available before the match.
Most unhygienic.  |  |

One plan I heard was to add another tier to the West stand, move Cobbold fans over and completely rebuild the Cobbold. No def info or time scale, it might even be one of a number of possible plans. |  | | |

Should do like Ewood Park, where you can rinse your hands on the pitch. |  |
