A ‘rooftop members club’ is the most eye-catching detail in Fulham’s latest planning application for the Riverside Stand.
The amended plans will see an events lounge replaced with a bar, restaurant and roof terraces for hospitality ticket holders offering views onto the River Thames. The club’s planning consultants say that the coronavirus pandemic has forced a rethink about holding traditional events, which might no longer be a stable source of income.
The Council’s planning report reads: “The new members club at Fulham Football Club will incorporate a range of dining, lounge, bar and work spaces set over the top three floors of the new Riverside Stand, offering an unrivalled experience. The overall design brief for the club has been to create an impeccably stylish space that is comfortable and relaxing. The interior design is a traditional one, reflecting traditional features of family homes, rather than contemporary football stadia. All spaces have been designed to maintain wide views over the river.”
