Fulham reveals expansion plans

English Fulham will increase its capacity by 4,000 seats, pushing the capacity of Craven Cottage to 30,000.

The plans are to remove the executive boxes from the Riverside Stand for additional seating.

The club announced the news on its website, saying it would be a part of a project to refurbish the grounds, including an overhaul of corporate seating. A GBP 1 million donation will be made by the club to redevelop the Bishop's Park area near the grounds.

Fulham has played at the site since 1896.The Hammersmith and Fulham council have been approached by the club for the proposals.

"The council has been approached by Fulham Football Club who want tosecure their long-term future at Craven Cottage and to ensure that a positive package of proposals is put forward," said council leader, Stephen Greenhalgh. "We have been interested to listen to what they have had to say but the most important people here are the local residents and voices need to be heard and any concerns addressed."
