Do we know much about the hotel in terms of facilities stars etc

Reading the 1894 twitter account, seems the club has asked them to sign an NDA prior to the meeting. Not a good look from the club

For awareness, all City Matters representatives have signed an NDA of sorts as part of our Code of Conduct. This seems to be pretty common across our equivalents across the league. The club do share a lot of confidential information with us, but it is pretty important to strike the balance between that and also keeping supporters aware of what is going on or information that would be useful.

Will it though ??

It will for the big games. Let’s be honest most football grounds are saturated with families and day trippers. Ours is no exception. If we expecting to find 8000+ singers in the north stand when we scarcely have them for regular match days now, we’re kidding ourselves in my opinion. Atmospheres are good when the team is good. We’ve had some great times in recent seasons and great moments. Each of those times the fans have delivered.

There is no other possible way for them to get so many tickets sat together - i used to be sceptical so started asking them where they got the tickets the answer was nearly always Live Football Tickets site - a site that City Twitter used to follow.

They have 321 tickets showing available for Fulham

There are “fans” out there with purchase history now. Plus there are those able to get tickets with no intention of going. It’s a problem but surely the club can do more to police this.

Nice update there I thought. Can see a lot of progress.
What caught my eye especially is above the steps to the extension are a few extra steps of terrace, maybe linked to the roof walk or hotel/hospitality ?

Does the North Stand and campus developments alter plans for any future wrap around the stadium itself?

I seem to remember talk of the spirals being eventually inside the stadium.

Vip/hospitality seats, below the suites. The roof walk is circa 25m above those.

A bit dated. But a question. Thanks

Enlarged the picture to show what the question is about.

What are the brown steel sections around and under the roof cable supports?

Are they being used to support the roof cable supports when they eventually get dismantled?

Or are they just different coloured steel sections of the stand for no reason?
