The dugouts need complete rebuilding, but that would be a major exercise requiring existing season ticket holders to be moved, so that the dugouts are the same distance from the halfway line.
I like that the away dugout is further from the half way line, little quirks that are beneficial to us, and these things are part and parcel of a proper ground, unlike these soul less bowls they build nowadays. I hope they don't change the positioning.
During either Pardew or curbs time there was consideration to swapping the Home and Away dug outs because the away management were always to get in the linesmans back* throughout the game.

When Billy Davies accepted the job after Curbs (and later changed his mind) he was foibg to swap them

Hope these improvements never see another blue dug out again. Red only, ever.

I dunno. When we play Millwall at home, perhaps if we paint our dugout blue and the away one red, perhaps that will break the curse.

I fear when we play Millwall all the improvements may be undone and we may regret doing them too soon 🙀
-New flood lights, although don’t think they’ve gone in yet - new Digital Advertising boards - which may or may not be on the operations HQ box - around the pitch and upper tier hoardings - brand new big screen, which looks as if it could be rectangular rather than square - presumably some funky light show effects too if MaxMaze are involved - solar panels on roof (and Ops HQ box possibly) at somepoint
Seems a lot is going on at The Valley. Lots of ‘licks of paint’ too
I believe also there is a plan in the Curbs stand to put in handrails along the aisles due to the steepness of the stairs

You’re correct!
CAST lead on this, leading the operations team at The Valley to research ideal ways to install without blocking the steps. Believe they settled on ‘P Rails’

Always thought the stairs were borderline dangerous, especially when youre a clumsy lardarse like me.
