THE most expensive stand in the Premier League has opened – and it has some incredible features.
Fulham unveiled the new £100million Riverside Stand hospitality section last weekend.
The project was six years in the making and it provides a luxury way of watching football.
Fans with tickets for the stand will have access to Michelin-star inspired menus, rooftop access on the three-floor ‘Sky Deck’ as well as an infitity pool.
They will also have stunning views across the River Thames and London.
But the luxuries come at a huge cost.
Season tickets in the top tier will set fans back a whopping £15,000 while individual tickets in the cheaper areas cost over £100 each for adults.
Meanwhile, non-corporate season tickets are priced up to £3,000.
On Fulham’s website, club owner-chairman Shahid Khan boasts: “Make no mistake, the Riverside development will be a location like no other, a real game-changer for Fulham Football Club, our neighbourhood and all of London.”
And chief executive Alistair Mackintosh told BBC Sport: “Fulham has always been blessed with a wonderful location but until today not had wonderful hospitality.
“This has been a long time coming. We wanted the best stand in the world.
“Going way back, this was a real vision for me – but we had delays with Covid, and needing a lease for the River Thames.
“I spoke to the Fulham Supporters’ Trust when I first started 17 years ago, and they said two things were important to them. First, sustainability and then staying at Craven Cottage.
“They had moved before and it wasn’t right. The owner Shahid Khan took the vision and put it on steroids.”
The new stand places focus on the River Thames.
Fans can enjoy the views from an exclusive balcony and a new infinity pool.
