Fulham fans demand answers over Craven Cottage's future

Fulham fans' organisation, BacktotheCottage.com, has demanded that Fulham Football Club (FFC) come clean over its intentions for the historic Craven Cottage site.

The call comes after the House of Lords last week rejected the final appeal of nine residents against redevelopment of the existing stadium.

The group, a campaigning body established and supported by the independent Fulham Supporters' Club and other fans organisations, are asking FFC to explain why it is not keeping to its pre-season promise to return Fulham to a redeveloped Craven Cottage.

Tom Greatrex, of BacktotheCottage.com, said: "After last week's ruling from the House of Lords, the silence from the Club has been deafening.

"It is not surprising that many fans are now extremely concerned for the future of Craven Cottage when, despite legal objections being overcome, the club have made no positive statement about proceeding with a development for which it has planning permission in place.

"Instead, it has made vague reference to other alternatives that leave many fans worried that FFC will never play in Fulham again."

FFC was unavailable to comment.
