By Pete Hayman 20 Jan 2012

Fulham Football Club (FFC) has submitted its plans for an upgrade of the Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage stadium to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

The project will increase the venue's capacity from 25,700 to 30,000, while also including a number of improvements to the ground. The club also aims to open up the Thames Path between Hammersmith and Putney.

FFC is scheduled to hold a public exhibition of the proposals on 25 and 28 January. It has yet to be decided when the planning application will go before councillors.
