Fulham have announced that their rebuilt Riverside Stand lower tier will be open next season.
A club statement this afternoon said:
“The Club is pleased to announce supporters will be welcomed back onto the riverside next season, with the opening of the lower tier of the new Riverside Stand from this summer.
The complex nature of the project, coupled with implications arising from the Coronavirus pandemic, means that the development of Fulham Pier will continue throughout next season – including the completion of interior fit-outs of spaces throughout the venue.
Whilst we are preparing for full occupancy, ahead of the full opening of the Riverside Stand and Fulham Pier in the summer of 2023, the opening of the lower tier represents the first phase of supporters being located in the new stand – a milestone moment in the development of the project.
During the 2022/23 campaign Season Tickets will become available in the lower tier on a single season basis, providing the first opportunity for supporters to experience the new stand.
The new Riverside Stand will provide some of the very best seats Craven Cottage has ever had to offer, allowing unprecedented views of the matchday action.
Fans will have the chance to immerse themselves in the thick of the action, with the lower tier offering exceptional perspectives of the pitch, alongside and directly behind the dugouts, allowing you to see the match unfold through the eyes of the Head Coach.
Current Season Ticket Holders who previously had a seat in the former Riverside Stand prior to the project beginning in 2019 will be prioritised to purchase seats in the new stand. More information on this will follow in the coming days.”
