A lot has changed since 1896, when Fulham played their first home game at their new home and yet so much remains the same. In 1905, the ground was redeveloped by Archibald Leitch, who created the ground that, in large parts, is still known internationally today. This is your chance to walk in the footsteps of Leitch and some of the greatest players in history; Think Craven Cottage, think Robson, Haynes and the England World Cup Winner Cohen; think Hill, Moore, Best, Eusebio, Pele and Ronaldinho. Think of Neymar, Rooney, Willian, Ronaldo, Cairney, Mitrović, Earps, Williamson, Bronze and Kane.
This is your chance to walk in their footsteps.
After signing in at the tour reception, your tour will commence at the Johnny Haynes Statue and visit The Johnny Haynes Stand, Press Box, Players Tunnel, Pitch-side, both changing rooms and Craven Cottage itself (all subject to availability on the day). This is a fully guided tour, led by a knowledgeable Tour Guide, photo's are encouraged along the route and questions are eagerly awaited. Hear about the 1948 Summer Olympics, the England men's team of 1907 who played Wales; in 2018, the England Lionessess playing Australia and the Women's Champions League final of 2011.
With history at every turn, not to mention the brand new Fulham Pier project, you will be engrossed, impressed and amazed in equal measure.
The Craven Cottage stadium tour ends with a visit to the club's trophy cabinet and the official club retail store.
