FULHAM fans are set to get their first glimpse at their brand new Riverside Stand.

The £100m development will boast incredible VIP experiences and is even set to feature a rooftop bar and swimming pool.

Fulham posted on X: "Explore The Riverside! Seasonal hospitality is now available."

But the Cottagers have remained tight-lipped on prices with the website asking users to 'enquire' first.

The full Sky Deck restaurant package officially opens in December and will see Craven Cottage fans offered a range of food and beverages.

They will also be treated to a panoramic view of London, in addition to the Thames, when not enjoying a bird's eye view of the action.

Fans will also have the option to take a dip in a swimming pool, while ordering from a rooftop bar, if Marco Silva's side are not performing well on the day.

Elsewhere, The Gourmet will see fans served a Michelin-inspired four-course a la carte meal on a terrace overlooking the river.

It will come complete with fine wines, cocktails and champagne - giving fans plenty of options to toast fine wins or drown sorrows after painful defeats.

Supporters housed in The Brasserie will also be treated to an incredible meal, before watching the action from premium halfway line seats.

Fulham's New Riverside Stand: A Premium Football Experience

Hospitality will be one of the priciest in English, given the proposed additions, but the club say it will provide a "premium experience that will be unlike anything in football".

Fans housed in the partially opened Riverside Stand had to pay an eye-watering £3,000, for their season tickets this season, which is more than £150 per home league game.

Fulham chairman Shahid Khan, drew parallels with the hospitality features at his NFL team the Jacksonville Jaguars' EverBank Stadium in Florida.

Khan proudly gushed: "My vision for the New Riverside Stand was to provide our fans, and our neighbourhood.

"With a destination that would continue to honour our history and tradition at Craven Cottage every day of the year.

"But especially so on matchdays with a premium experience that will be unlike anything in football, here in London or elsewhere."

Premier League Rule Changes for 2024-25

NOTHING stays the same forever.

And that includes the Premier League, which is making a number of tweaks this season.

Team news will now be released 75 MINUTES before kick-off, 15 minutes earlier than had been the case before.

Things could get crowded on the touchline, with the number of substitutes permitted to warm-up boosted from three players per team to FIVE.

There's also a change to how added time is calculated when a team scores a goal, an update to the 'multiball' system and the introduction of semi-automated offsides - but not straight away.

Go here to read about all the changes to the Premier League for 2024/25.
