There are still a number of planning conditions, associated with the planning permission, that need to be finalised and signed off by the council, prior to work beginning.  Bit of a drawn out process, but in planning terms it is quite a complex and unusual case.

I also asked people when they will build the new riverside stand. They said at the end of the season. But i'm from belgium so I don't know and I can't find something on the internet. But they aren't building it yet?

Didn't someone say that it would not start until March next year as once started it has to be finished in a given time . Starting in March would give then two summers and a better chance to finishing in the time frame.

from the FST a few months back :

Riverside Stand

The club is progressing plans for the Riverside Stand redevelopment, with the project having recently received formal sign-off from the Mayor of London. The initial phase of works will require an entire close-season and are intended to be commenced at the first available opportunity following final planning approval. There are still some technical planning and approval issues to resolve so, whilst there is no formal start date, yet, the Club wishes to re-affirm to fans that the scheme will go ahead as soon as legally and feasibly possible.

yep. so the earliest time it will start is the coming off season but as this is a complicated development (although there is support) it may take place after that. the club essentially told us they'll do it asap, and dialogue we've had since after khan's takeover indicates that hasn't changed

Absolutely no need for a new stand until we are in the Premiership so no need to rush things.

Is money spent on a stand taken into account when deciding on transfer embargos.
Just worried that if we spend on the stand we may never buy another player.

whenever we start it it will be in the close season, think its great that we improve the ground and the new stand will certainly do that.

Actually steel is cheap at present - theres over supply in the market - so it makes sense to get the job started this summer.

Also, expenditure on the ground falls outside of any FFP rules.
