"Please be advised that the Café at Craven Cottage is now closed. As a result of the Club's recent promotion, and following a period of reviewing options with the Premier League to ensure that facilities at the ground comply with competition requirements, refurbishment is currently taking place to alter the room into a dedicated media working and press conference space in time for the start of the new season" http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2018/july/09/cafe-closed.
I can only assume that the time taken to come to this decision is whats been holding up our transfer activity. I now look forward to an exciting few weeks ahead.
