Town’s Sir Bobby Robson Stand has been given a spruce up ahead of the Blues’ return to the Premier League.

Commercial and industrial cleaning company Diamond View have spent the last two days cleaning all the exterior windows and signage, while the stand itself was pressure-washed.

Freshening up the Sir Bobby Robson Stand is just a small part of the extensive work which has been ongoing all summer with bigger projects including a new press box at the front of the West Stand, a new Sky studio on top of the security office above the tunnel, extending the away section into the middle of the Cobbold Stand and dramatically increasing the number of camera positions around the stadium.

In addition, the final few executive boxes are being added to the end of the West Stand, while areas of the ground are being given a coat of paint.

Steelmonkey added 13:10 - Jul 10 Has any decision been made on putting auto turnstiles in place in other parts of the ground? Have they been successful in operation in Churchman’s?

Bluemoss added 13:13 - Jul 10 Used to be a time when it had its own ecosystem growing on top of it. How times have changed. Looking good now.

Portwoman added 14:20 - Jul 10 I'd like to think the spruce up will include an upgrade and extension to the ladies toilets in the upper West Stand (SBR end). Four cubicles which are of a certain vintage are really not adequate now we have capacity crowds!

Skip73 added 16:28 - Jul 10 Marcus Evans, if you're reading this, look how quick and easy it is to keep clean. Absolutely no excuses for how bad you let this stand get. The slime build up over you tenure was nothing short of disgraceful.
