No start to works on the riverside stand.

[fcfulham55]

Thought after the Newcastle game work was to commence? Nevermind, after not originally liking the design. I thought it could look like a smart little stand.

[Robbie]

I don't think it will happen.

[Woolly Mammoth]

I was never that keen on the design anyway.
I have now reached  the stage whereupon a row of Flag Polls with the Emblems of the Championship Clubs fluttering in the breeze by the River Thames suddenly seems more appealing.

 064.gif I heard that the Club is considering going back to one of its former "grounds" at Eelbrook Common or behind the Half Moon pub in Lower Richmond Road. I'll get my coat.

[Rambler]

Are we expecting an update from the club? I thought works were supposed to be commenced at the end of this month so we still have a little time left.
Or are even the most optimistic supporters now expecting this not to go ahead?

I am counting the left over prune stones on my breakfast plate, this year ?, next year?, sometime?, Never?.

If it was going to be this year then demolition should have started immediately after the Newcastle match.

When I called the ticket office last week about being a riversider S.T they we're silent and said S.Ts information will be announced this Friday coming up.Nothing about moving us!

[_Putney_]

If it doesn't happen then I think we can consider these owners as a real concern for the club.  I can't imagine the justification for pulling out of this.

I've always said that I cannot see the practicality of building while we're resident at the Cottage. Building work stopping for games, security issues at games with building stuff all over the place, building time and costs increasing compared with a closed ground; if it goes ahead, we'll have to move elsewhere for a couple of years.
I also can't see the practicality of building it anyway...transporting the steel etc through the warren of small streets gridlocked with parked cars, doing it by barge can reduce this only marginally because of tide times etc.
So we wait to see....is it a disaster if it doesn't go ahead?

I may be wrong but I thought that a condition of the planning approval was that all matietials were to be delivered on the river.

There's a problem with a tree in Bishops park....the club want to use a bit of the park as a storage area.....the park over the past few years had a lot of upgrades....the club contributed towards these

I don't see why not. Many clubs have done this in the past. Also our crowds will most likely be down and very few 100% capacity. As for moving materials That is the cost of progress.

I think they are waiting on the building works plan, which we already know from the notes from the FST meeting, the marine works will be the first part of the project, followed by the demolition of the stand! Perhaps say the first phase takes a year then we will not have to close the riverside stand! Then the next 2 years thy will demolish and rebuild! 

[Andy S]

We will find out soon enough probably when the announce the season tickets on Friday

[Robbie]

If I were the owners I would not go ahead.
Our average gate next season will be 18k-19k?
We don't need the seats, we don't need the financial liability.
I would prefer we spend money on players !

[Thamesbank]

we cant't spend the money on players ffp stops that.

Wolves supporters, a few years ago when they were in the lower division and the owners were building a new stand, held up a banner at game that said "F@#k the stand, buy some players". Look where they are now!

[hovewhite]

Think the club and the shad is not sure on the project,a decision coming this week but crap PR from the club!

And I suppose you want an electric scoreboard that is three sided over the top of the bar at the top of the riverside terrace justlike we had in the sixties lol
