It's pretty hard not to like this. Excellent use of space, opening up the Riverside Walk and increasing capacity. Hope it gets up.

Many good things here, probably the best opening up the river and reducing congestion on Stevenage Road before/after the match. It's a nightmare if you're in the Hammersmith End and need to get to Putney afterwards.
Having to keep the Stevenage Road stand will always be a massive constraint. It's possibly the most uncomfortable stand I've been in, old wooden seats with no legroom. But they can't do anything with it due to it being GradeII* listed.

^^ The Stevenage Road Stand will only be a constraint if Fulham need to expand after the Riverside development. They've been able to get away with it before because they had other parts of the ground to turn to. It's hard to imagine Fulham stepping up to the next level in support (the Spurs/West Ham level) that would warrant further capacity but stranger things have happened. You'd think then they'd move to another site.

Interesting the suggestion that listing also mean restricting the kind of seats you can put in? Seems odd. In Oz, the SCG installed bucket seats in the Member and Ladies Stand.

It's a nice design but I'll be really impressed if they can get Multiplex to build it half price.
