That has already been decided. They are not leaving. How can any Fulham fan not know where the club are playing next season :confused:
Fulham will play in front of a reduced capacity of less than 20,000 when work begins on the new Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage.

The Premier League side are understood to want work to start in May 2019 and expect the project to be completed for the start of the 2021/22 season.

Fulham received planning permission for the £80m redevelopment nine months ago, but only appointed a contractor - Buckingham Group - on Monday.

Craven Cottage has a current capacity of 25,700 and it will increase to just under 30,000 when work is complete.

However, between 6,000 and 7,000 seats are likely to be unavailable once the project begins. Four thousand seats in the Riverside Stand will be affected, while some in other stands will be inaccessible for safety reasons.

Fulham are keen to remain at Craven Cottage during the building work, despite the impact on capacity, rather than move to a temporary home.

Fulham will have to play the next two seasons in front of just three stands with the Riverside Stand demolished during a £100million redevelopment.

Craven Cottage's capacity is rising by 5,000 to 30,000 - although that will be reduced to 20,000 while the work takes place.

Fulham say they 'will be consulting with the Fulham Supporters' Trust in regards to relocating supporters currently situated in the existing Riverside Stand'.

Is it really going to take them two seasons to rebuild just one stand?

It’s a very complex build, including the river frontage.
 

Fulham thread

Confirmed today.
So looks like the neutral section will go for 2 years
And also away section could also be reduced

The development works at Craven Cottage will commence this summer, and to enable the Club to continue playing its matches at Craven Cottage whilst work on the Riverside Stand is in progress, the ground’s capacity will reduce to around 19,000, with the Hammersmith End, Putney End and Johnny Haynes Stand accommodating all supporters for both the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons.

The complex process of relocating supporters will involve moving all Season Ticket Holders from the Riverside Stand to pre-allocated seats which are currently available in the Putney End and the Hammersmith End. To ensure that rows of seats are kept together as practicably as possible, and that every Season Ticket Holder is offered a seat for next season, those currently located in the lower sections of all blocks in the Riverside Stand will be relocated, principally, to the front sections of the Hammersmith End and, where seats are available, to other areas of this stand. Those in the remaining, upper, areas of the Riverside Stand will be offered a season ticket in Blocks P1, P2, P3 or P4 in the Putney End.

In addition, the construction process will affect blocks in the Hammersmith End located closest to the Riverside Stand: Block H8 and a small section of H7 will need to be vacated. Therefore, supporters located within these areas will also be provided with details of relocation within the Hammersmith End.

Presumably they’ll be doing something about the access to and from The Putney End? I’m sure there’s only one way in and one way out..... could make for some interesting conversations before and after the game.

A years absence will respark interest, especially if the game is near the time we'll secure promotion (January or February).

Reports in Spain that Bétis Séville are favourites to sign Mitrovic...

Have you seen their change kit for next season, all red and their promo pictures don't list a third kit.

I’m pretty sure that in the championship you have to offer away fans a minimum of 10% or 2,000 whichever is less.

I believe that is true, so, for League fixtures at the new stadium, we are only required to give 1,725, although we may allow more and must do for Cup games.

Only if it’s possible with segregation. If not, then it’s whatever the club can reasonably do.

Isn't it 15% of capacity for cup games? So that would be circa 2,600

I think it there is ongoing work you may get dispensation to offer less. The away allocation at White Hart Lane during Spurs’ final season there was definitely well below 10%.

A heads up for tickets at Craven Cottage for the next 2 seasons


13. WILL THE PUTNEY END BLOCKS P1-P4 REMAIN A MIXED AREA?
Seating in Putney End blocks P1 through to P4 will become home areas to accommodate Season Ticket Holders affected by the new Riverside Stand’s construction over the next two seasons.

Blocks P5 and P6 will continue to host away supporters and therefore the concourse areas will continue to be mixed.

14. I AM MOVING TO THE PUTNEY END. WILL I BE SAT WITH AWAY FANS?
No. Seating at Craven Cottage will be for either home or away fans, but not allowed to be mixed. Season Ticket Holders and Members buying additional tickets for friends or family should do so within the provision of the Club’s Home Match Ticket Terms & Conditions

2000 odd capacity ?

That away end/neutral end holds 7000?

The away allocation would only be around 2000 odd now, due to P1-P4 being used for home supporters.

Trying to get hold of Away tickets will be fun!! lol
