Thanks so much for that, only was asking about a view from this angle this morning.

Apparently they have already dug up 47 old footballs, most of them from shots from our players that never hit the target! 

46 were from Knockaert

I wonder if the may start renovating the Johnny Haynes stand when the New Stand opens?Would make sense commercially as I'm sure as a season ticket holder there we would be potential targets for the Riverside.Just a thought.

These photos are dramatic. I did not realize that the skyline would change this much. Not sure that I like it frankly.  Changes the whole neighbourhood.

I do wonder how the residents in adjoining streets will react to the changing skyline.

The ground was there before most of the nearby properties were. If you don´t like being near a football ground don´t buy one there.

The ground was there but a whopping great big stand wasn't.

The stand when completed will not be the eyesore you see at present. At present it's just a building site but will look completely different from the road when finished.

It's not that gigantic, it doesn't even hold 9k. What a strange bunch we are. Moaning about everything.   Looks better than the towering floodlights you see at amateur venues.

Don't get windy now, we are a Premiership team with Premiership ambitions. There will be more changes in the offing...... embrace it.

[SuffolkWhite]

Its change that's all and not everyone can deal with that, the blocks of flats built next to Fulham could be considered an eyesore also but that's progress
Although the moaning from Fulham fans is weird imo.

Just for the confirmation beyond all reasonable doubt, this is the best football ground in the world. 🏠⚽️ pic.twitter.com/QANkQCS2Ez

The photo to take is from Greswell Street showing the new stand towering over The Johnny Haynes stand  049:gif

Thanks to whoever provided it , I've been to visit the ground on half a dozen occasions,  I guarantee those people that will be seeing it for the first time on Sunday will be left speechless,
Its truly stunning 😍,
Though the light pollution in the surrounding area will raise a few eyebrows im sure.

[RaySmith]

You'd think these residents of  this highly desirable  part of London, with flat and other buildings going up all the time, would be used to this sort of thing.

Great photos, thanks.

I took those pictures from the weekend. Trust me it's a seriously imposing structure, personally got no problems with that whatsoever. It gives the ground a new found sense of scale
I wouldn't go too much by the capacity though either. If it wasn't for the end blocks of apartments, etc it would probably hold about 1000-1500 more, also it's taller than stands with a similar capacity due to having to fit seven levels of facilities in what is still , despite the river reclamation, a pretty confined space. The top tier looks especially steep
It's always the same though, some people don't like change. As I said I think it looks magnificent, hope they're planning stuff at either end too

When we had to change the club badge -x- number of years ago, why didn't we adopt this from the JH stand as the badge? Timeless and elegant.

Probably because we could not copyright it ?

Yes, it does but it really sets off the traditional façade from that view. Surprisingly nice, I thought.
