Correctly through hear say that we are about to start adding 7000 seats to be Installed onto the west stand , as soon as the season ends ?
With those seats occupied by Portman stand ST holders , then work to begin on said stand ? I’m curious if anyone else has heard same info .

Britannia Stand and the chicken run?

(Don’t need to use the correct names to know what’s being referred)


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

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.

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.

Going to replace a load of the existing seats with 2 smaller ones, so you're just sit on your left or right buttock depending which seat you get.


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?

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

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!

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

And as mentioned would need planning permission that would take several weeks to approve which I would think is not logged yet.


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.

Why do ITFC need to "add another platform at Ipswich station and a three lane each way road from the town centre to the A14 first."


...I'm confused!


Deffo need more car parking spaces at gatwick

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.

You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright.

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.
