Town pondering ground changes
The Cobbold Stand is a historic part of the stadium and whatever happens, Town chief executive Clegg wants to ensure his side "balance between driving revenue and appreciating tradition".[LNB]"When you look at Portman Road in terms of spectator capacity we are right up there," Clegg told the East Anglian Daily Times. "We have one very historic stand and we will just have to see how the club develops but it is a natural long-term plan at some stage.[LNB]"If we were filling this stadium week in and week out and we need capacity then there is only one place it can come from and that is the Cobbold Stand.[LNB]"If we had a fundamental shortfall in capacity then we would expand even if it meant doing so when we were still in the Championship. I hope we will be seen as a club fit for the 21st century while recognising what has been achieved and the values and traditions of where this club has come from.[LNB]"I know how important the past and heritage is to the supporters of this club and that needs to be recognised and not let go easily."[LNB][LNB]
