Both ends which were previously terraced have now been replaced by two new large all seated, covered stands, that look fairly similar in design. They both though have some supporting pillars which is disappointing. The Hammersmith End has one large pillar towards the front and middle of the stand, whilst opposite the Putney End has a row of pillars running across the stand, about a third of the way down it. Attached to these stands in three corners of the ground are some three-storey structures that are used to house corporate executive boxes. An unusual feature is that the teams enter the field from one corner of the ground, by the Cottage and then make their way up onto the pitch as it is raised. Overlooking the ground from one corner, between the Johnny Haynes Stand and Putney End, is the unique Pavilion building, which many fans refer to as ‘the Cottage’ (although this is technically incorrect as the original cottage after which the ground is named, was demolished many years ago). This looks somewhat misplaced being more reminiscent of a small cricket pavilion, rather than something found at a football ground, but it does add to the overall character. The only disappointment is that the fabulous old floodlights that the ground previously had, have been removed and replaced by a nondescript modern set. There are video screens located above both ends. Outside the stadium alongside Stevenage Road is the Johnny Haynes Statue.
Works have begun for the building of the new Riverside Stand at Craven Cottage. This will involve the complete demolition of the existing stand which was opened in 1972 as the Eric Miller Stand. The new stand will be quite sizeable, having a capacity of just under 9,000. It will have a large higher tier and a smaller lower tier. The development will also include restaurants, meeting facilities, bars, nine flats and a new riverside walkway behind it. It is anticipated that the works will take two years.
Once completed it will raise the capacity of Craven Cottage to 29,600. However whilst works take place, the capacity will be restricted to 19,000 for at least a season, with a view to the lower tier of the new stand being made available during the 2020/21 season and it then being fully open for the start of the 2021/22 season. The Buckingham Group have been appointed as the contractors to construct the new stand.
Away fans are housed to one side of the Putney End Stand on the riverside of the ground. Due to the building of the new Riverside Stand, the number of seats available to away fans has been reduced to 1,600 seats. There are a couple of supporting pillars that could impede your view, but this only applies to certain seats in Row DD and above. Some of these are classed as a ‘restricted view’ seats and are discounted by £2 off the ticket price. The legroom is ample and as the rows of the stand seem to have been constructed from metal and plywood, rather than concrete, fans can’t resist making some noise, by stamping up and down on it.
