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 . |  | | |  |

The West Stand? Surely The Cobbold has to be redeveloped first. | | | |

Mark Ashton did say they were going to look at adding seats into the West Stand perhaps before the Cobbold redevelopment, yes. It would make sense to be fair. |  |

They'd better get moving on the planning permission then if they are starting that in two and a half weeks time. |  |

Yes those new seats would be Portman stand ST holders with first dibs, then move them back when Portman is finished . | | | |

Has planning permission for the Cobbold redevelopment been signed off? Obviously adding to the West Stand is less complicated as it wouldn’t affect land that is not part of the ground. | | | |

No, there's nothing in planning approval for any of this at all, not the West Stand or the Cobbold. | |

Strange as this rumour started from the guy who does the ground tours , some friends were told on the tour last weekend . | | | |

No chance of this happening this Summer. It's a huge amount of work and they don't even have planning permission for anything. If they submitted paperwork today they wouldn't get a planning decision by the end of summer.
There is reason to believe this is the plan going forward, but the timescales are delusional. It won't be happening this summer. |  | | |

To be fair, I believe the Cobbold used to be known as the Portman Stand. |  |

I think they need to add another platform at Ipswich station and a three lane each way road from the town centre to the A14 first. |  | | |

The new stand to be known as The Mark Ashton Stand. |  |

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? |  | | |

He means 7000 new seats in the Pioneer Stand, obviously. | | | |

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! |  | | |
