    or the "Eric Miller" as it was known before he dropped of his perch. Here it is, in all it's pristine glory, back in 1972:

    Switching to the proposals for developing the current Riverside, it's looking doubtful in the forseeable future. See what you think based on the latest report of the Fulham Supporters Trust with the Club:


    "The Trust asked AM [Alistair Mackintosh] for an update on the Riverside Stand and the Heatherwick Studios review.

    AM reminded the trust that the council had signed off the continuation of the planning consent after the club fulfilled stipulated requirements in the summer. This meant that the Club could go ahead with the Riverside Stand based on the KAS design at any time.

    The Club has received the review from Heatherwick and is looking at the options it offers. The review covered not only the Riverside Stand but also the entire ground. He mentioned that the costs for maintaining the Hammersmith and Putney stands was a costly matter and, since as this is possibly the one chance in the near future that the Club could rebuild much of the ground, the Club is going to take its time looking at all the options they have on the table. AM and CS
    [Caspar Stylsvig] had a meeting recently looking at the financial side of a number of designs its has. There are no plans to release a version of the report for public consumption.

    Of course, any major redesign will have to include planning permission but, at this moment, there are no timescales on when the club will announce plans going forward. However, AM reiterated that the KAS design could still be the one with which the Club proceeded.

    There was no pressure on them to rush ahead with any build and was not dependent on promotion either. However, promotion would make it an easier decision to make."
