Fulham have denied that any decision had been made about who they plan to groundshare with next season.
The Evening Standard reports that club officials have rubbish a report in the Sunday Mirror that the Whites have agreed to play at Queens Park Rangers next season whilst Craven Cottage is redeveloped. Jean Tigana is said to favour a switch to West Ham United’s Upton Park, but the tabloid exclusive suggested that chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed had overruled his manager.
A club spokesperson told the Standard:
“We have come to no conclusion yet as to where we will play next season.”
Fulham will be forced to vacate their historic home after their three year grace period to turn the Cottage into an all-seater stadium expires. The club’s ambitious plans to redevelop their stadium in 30,000 all-seater venue have been delayed after local residents group the Fulham Alliance took them to court, whilst the proposed sale of QPR to a City-based consortium has been held up by the official receiver.
Fulham fans will have the opportunity to take a close look at Upton Park on Saturday when they travel to West Ham United seeking to build on their win over Southampton last weekend.
