well hooray if it really is about to happen.

[Fulham76]

Is it just me or is there anyone else that can't even be bothered to read that because it's dragged on for so long & probably never going to happen?

I'll wait for the 'yeah, it's just you'.

Just like the reaction of Field Marshal Montgomery when he received the German surrender offer at Luneburg in 1945 - "This business has been dragging on for six years now, I can't be bothered to read this shite."   :028: :58:

Yep, very similar. Good comparison...

Any chance of someone breaking it all down and just pointing out the main points of this mind boggling conundrum.

You certainly won't get that from the club! Worlds worst communicators who generally tell the fans nothing

The relevant bit is at the bottom:

the works divided into two defined phases.

Phase 1 – Enabling and marine phase due to commence May 2016 to September 2016.
Phase 2 – Main Construction phase September 2016 to March 2018.

I've been this way for about a year now.  And no, I didn't read the document. I just couldn't be arsed. Does this mean it's got a start date then?

[davew]

Great but I would prefer to read more about the redevelopment of a new squad!!

[davew]

On a brighter note we will all have a lot more room and comfort to watch the team play in Division 2!! Only joking fans and forum members!!

It is clear that the ground will have areas closed off for a  season or more and so the owner has ordered the club that there can be no increase in crowds until after that time. So no promotion or success until it is completed.

Conspiracy theory number 243.  :033:

[Holders]

It must surely be positive that the owner is still planning this development when the sole point of it is to increase capacity for which there's no need in the division that we're in at present, albeit not available until the 2018/19 season.

Draw whatever conclusions you wish from that timescale.

The new stand will offer a lot more in the way of non football activities, hopefully generating a profit.

Despite all the gloom we must surely see this as a positive?  It appears to demonstrate some ambition and a lot of us have questioned whether that was sorely lacking. 

[Fulham1959]

Good news.

Unfortunately, "Cynicism rules O.K." on this forum.

Cost of building will not count v FFP.  Revenue bought in from facilities, non match days corporate events etc will count as revenue for Fulham v FFP.

Good stuff... It's good to show ambition, all very exciting.
