Fulham FC announced in October that it intended to say put at Craven Cottage and develop its facilities and crowd capacity. At the time, Chief Executive Alistair Mackintoch sais: " We are confident that a redevelopment will improve the fans' matchday experience by enhancing the facilities, whilst remaining sympathetic to the design of this historic ground. Naturally our core family values, and the tradition of the football club, continue to be at the forefront of everything we do."
