Fulham Football Club has submitted plans to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham for a development package that includes the re-opening of the riverside walk, plans to increase the capacity of its Craven Cottage stadium by providing an additional 4,000 seats, and financial support for the Council's continuing improvements of neighbouring Bishops Park.
The plans, detailed in the last matchday programme, will commence at the end of the current season, if approved by the Council.
Mohamed Al Fayed, Chairman of Fulham Football Club said: "Craven Cottage is synonymous with Fulham FC and it is vital that the Club is given every opportunity to develop the facilities available, to enable it to remain at its home. I am confident that an increased capacity and further improvements to the facilities can help us reach and maintain our business objectives. I encourage our fans to write in support of these plans to the local council as they know, as well as I do, how important it is for the Club to improve upon its facilities in order to maintain its position as a Premier League Club.
"I am confident also, that should our plans be approved, we can continue to work closely with our neighbours in the local community to ensure as little disruption as possible during the building process."
