FULHAM’S stunning new Riverside Stand will boast incredible VIP experiences and is even set to feature a rooftop bar and swimming pool.
The Cottagers first revealed plans for the huge development in 2019.
Their revamped Riverside Stand has since partially opened to fans.
But its incredible full premium hospitality packages will launch during the 2024-25 campaign.
The Sky Deck package, opening in December, will see fans offered a range of food and beverages.
They will also be treated to a panoramic view of London, in addition to the Thames, when not enjoying a bird’s eye view of the action.

If the football’s not quite doing it for them, fans will also have the option to take a dip in a swimming pool, while ordering from a rooftop bar.
Elsewhere in The Riverside Stand, The Gourmet will see fans served a Michelin Star four-course a la carte meal on a terrace overlooking the river.
It will come complete with fine wines, cocktails and champagne – giving fans plenty of options to toast fine wins or drown sorrows after painful defeats.
Supporters housed in The Brasserie will also be treated to a Michelin Star meal, before watching the action from premium halfway line seats.

Addressing Fulham‘s new premium experiences, chairman Shahid Khan proudly gushed: “My vision for the New Riverside Stand was to provide our fans, and our neighbourhood, with a destination that would continue to honour our history and tradition at Craven Cottage every day of the year.
“But especially so on matchdays with a premium experience that will be unlike anything in football, here in London or elsewhere.
“In short, today isn’t about finally being able to offer a higher standard of hospitality options that have essentially been unavailable to Fulham supporters until now.
“It’s about offering the ultimate matchday hospitality experience in the world that will also benefit the long-term promise and future of Fulham Football Club.
“The New Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage will make it possible.”
Fulham fans have had to pay a pretty penny to watch their team play this season.
Fans housed in the partially opened Riverside Stand had to pay an eye-watering £3,000 for their season tickets.
Some seats for their clash with Man Utd in November cost a staggering £160, with even the cheapest tickets on the day setting punters back £67.
The prices left fans furious, with many of the Fulham faithful feeling similarly about The Riverside Stand offering – although the cost to enjoy the new facilities are yet to be revealed.
One disgruntled supporter commented on Instagram: “Tourists are gonna love this.”
While a second fumed: “The order of priority for the owners. Tourists > Working Class fans.”

A third reasonably wrote: “Looks lovely but your normal fan ain’t gonna be able to afford it.”
Although another added: “This is exciting stuff. The swimming pool is a reality then.”
