Nice to see, but. Not exactly a boat-shaped barge that transports the construction.
Why not have it v-shaped? Maybe it could speed up a bit. Or is it only for the docking?
Only Sweden has Swedish gooseberries.

Guess its tailor made to the size of the roof sections and as you mentioned something that can be docked nice and close to the Cottage, then sit flat on the river bed when the tide goes out.
Stand looks amazing!

Looks like either the remaining Hammy or Putney end truss.
Only one more after this as the 2 other remaining sections are infilled with separate steels.
Nearly there.

May be waiting for the last two roof trusses to be put In place?Can't be far off surely.

Yes, the club probably like to do milestone releases.

The first time I attended at the cottage for a Fulham match years and years ago it was from the Riverside.
Next time I hope I'll repeat that. It's so hard to wait.

When I were a lad.... some of my mates used to enter the cottage via the riverside. They walked along the shore at low tide from Bishop's Park and climbed up and over the wall into the ground. I never did it - I was too small to climb over! Anyone else remember that?

What did they do at high tide? Swim! 049:gif

You'd have thought that slow little boat in front would move over to one side to let ours past.

I would expect once the roof trusses are in place we might get an official update as a lot of the work left include internal fit out.  We may then get some idea of timescale for the rest of the project.

Personally I would be amazed if the Riverside was open before August 2022.  Cannot see safety certificates being issued until all the work is finished. Just look how Spurs were made to keep delaying their opening.

I can remember on that corner of Bishop's Park you could reach around for a rope that, if you were athletic enough, you could swing out and shimmy up and over into the Putney End.

There used to be a gap in the fence between the ground and the wood yard next door where the flats are now. The gap was just big enough to let a young lad squeeze through, like me!

I will head down tomorrow morning/evening (depending on when I'm free) for a few photos.  Any particular shots or angles anyone wants? Apart from being inside the ground, lol


sarnian

All your photos are appreciated Putney especially by all of us who cannot get to London to see for ourselves. We can see what is happening with the stand and roof but it's a bit unclear what is happening with the ends of the stand, ie the hotel end and the swimming pool end.

Will try and get a closer up of that tomorrow, then! But the access is limited! Also, not much done on it yet, only at the Hammersmith End has it even started. Putney End will be last as its' their access in.

Maybe from the far end of Greswell Street showing the imposing new stand in the distance.

What about from Finlay St with the Cottage in the foreground. I love the view down Finlay St !
