The Riverside Stand Redevelopment

[MJG]

I'm also worried about the stand's financing
Will it be out of cash flow or reserves ? I doubt it
Will it be a secured loan from Khans ?
And if we drop to the 3rd division ? And the Khans want their money out
We're left with debts and a crap team ?
No-one knows the Khans' long term  plans - probably not even them

As you missed answering me below, what in your view is established in the PL?

[Woolly Mammoth]

I feel we have to speculate to accumulate, whatever is happening on the pitch.
I sm sure It will be another string to the financial bow.
If we really want to be positive, it could easily run in conjunction with the playing side, with regards to attracting new players. In the same way as our improvements in training facilities at Motspur Park.

You can relax - they're not going to ask you to pay for it - so nothing for you to worry about.

His yacht is supposed to be worth in excess of $200m so the cost of the Shadid Khan Riverside Stand will be a drop in the ocean

[Mitch]

I wouldn't worry. There's no way this ever gets built.

Hopefully The F.S.T will ask at the next meeting " When do you intend to contact existing Riverside season ticket holders to discuss their intentions and preferences for season 2019/2020 and explain what their options are"
In my mind, until that contact is made, it ain't happening,
February next week, time is fast running out.

I was at a meeting a couple of weeks ago on this subject and they are finalising communicating what will happen hopefully over next  couple of weeks at last timescale I was given.

[Baszab]

I am sure I will be paying for the new stand - I have 4 season tickets and their prices will be rising considerably I have no doubt

Thats good to hear, thank you

IMO, Fulham are the most succesfully Premier League Team with a Stadium of <26,000.

EPL Premier League Clubs in order of points won with stadiums currently less than 26,000
1   Fulham 586 Points
2   Wigan Athletic 331 Points
3   Swansea City
4   Queens Park Rangers
5   Portsmouth
6   Watford
7   Hull City
8   Burnley 157 Points
9   Bournemouth
10   Reading
11   Oldham Athletic
12   Bradford City
13   Blackpool
14   Huddersfield Town
15   Barnsley
16   Swindon Town

We need a 30,000 Seater Stadium with at least one luxury stand, if we want to be an EPL club in a "FFP Rules" era.

Did you do that yourself?

Good work

And yet, according to MJG, match day capacity is only 20% of the revenue requirement business model of a successful football club in the Fulham area.  In other words it's a seriously big increase in the 80% revenue income from the Riverside that is really sought unless match day numbers are increased (i.e. by non - Fulham related fixtures because the stadium is a good place to hold a professional sport fixture or other event).  It all seems risky to me.

A month has now passed and still nothing, it's March tomorrow,  time is running out if it hasn't already .

Time ran out long ago and never said goodbye.

I was certainly expecting something by now. I have been at a further meeting since that post and its all steam ahead, only this week the club asked for some input into FAQ's they are going to put out to ST holders in the stand when the information goes live. I'm as frustrated as all over the delay in letting everyone know where they are sitting.

[Riversider]

The increasing delay is both baffling and concerning.

Not sure baffling is the right word, its frustrating for sure, but lots of moving parts and agreements to get in place before sending the info out.
There is only one person now who will decide to stop it and thats the owner. As far as everyone else is concerened its going ahead with work to do that taking place everyday.

[Baszab]

I would humbly suggest that, as supporters, we have got much more to worry about than a new stand

We're about to crash into the Championship and if preparations in the summer are similar to 2018, the squad will be decimated and we will be in bottom 3 by Xmas 2019

The likelihood is that Summer 2019 preparations will be even less productive than 2018 - except in the flogging off of TC RS amd Mitro - that I am sure the owners will be pro-active in

Please......let's give the new stand  a rest - as pointed out match day revenues are minor cw TV and other advertising revenues

[Woolly Mammoth]

I shall not Stand for it, and I will not take it Sitting down either.

I would humbly suggest that you couldn't be any more wrong if you tried,
The Riverside Stand signals commitment from Shahid Khan for at least the next 10 years, no Riverside Stand means he could put his toys back in the box , sell up and leave whenever he likes, leading to more turmoil and disruption,
The Riverside Stand is far more important than Fulham playing in The Championship,  this development must happen, and it must happen this summer.

[Baszab]

I would even more humbly suggest - that it depends on (i) how it's financed and (ii) what is the purpose ? To raise value to the property/ company but not the team ?That would be worrying
