Considerable space restrictions, listed building etc; I think the level of investment required to renovate the JH would far, far exceed any financial rewards for the club and so I can't see it ever happening.....

I always thought that it was only the red brick façade & sandstone decoration that is listed & not the roof or interior of the stand. Both of which are not terribly old.





The roof structure is original, they had to replace the old roof cladding for safety reasons, there's a few new rooms added over the years in the undercroft & wooden seats replacing benches in the 50s, apart from that it's pretty much unchanged from when it was built
They rebuilt the two missing end turret type things in the Fayed refurb

As it is a listed building do you not have to use original materials or the replacement there of which you are then advised to use by those that list buildings? Which means it would still carry the originality and look authentic?

No structural engineer but I would have thought replacing the load bearing walls with steels would open things up and allow reconfiguration of the stand.I will assume the current shop will be over in the Riverside,giving more space for us.Just need to make it fit for purpose.

Need to sandblast the FXPro logo off the Putney and Hammersmith Ends.  They're still getting a lot of value from that piece of sponsorship as planes fly over on approach to Heathrow.  Bet they stopped paying for it years ago!

Very easy to drape a banner over the said stands even if just says welcome to Fulham Football Club.Missed opportunity. I sell printed banner material for a living.

would be fascinating to somehow calculate exactly how much money it's earned them since the sponsorship ended

Briefly - NO - you have to do whatever English Heritage tell you to do, you need their consent for everything.

I the part I've been told to retain a perfectly ugly and badly constructed 1930's oak fire-surround in an otherwise pristine 1850's building, rather than replace it with a period original salvaged from another building.

The reason given - the ugly alteration was an example of how the building had been altered over time.

I can still see it when I pass by the building and it still looks UGLY
It could be better but it's real life and not a fantasy

The video placed a lot of emphasis on getting the pool completed quickly, although getting in fans seems to be the last stage.

Glad to hear they have their priorities right.

They probably have more chance. In getting the health club going quicker than opening the whole stand.The health club would ideally be open for January for obvious reasons.

Pool half full or half empty Woolly?
Are you part of the experiment to bring back the Woolly Mammoth?

I am actually helping to orchestrate the revival of the Hairy Elephant and have been active and instrumental over the centuries to ensure us Mammothus Primigenious stage a dramatic comeback of Biblical Proportions.
