Craven Cottage is one of the most distinctive grounds in English football. Fulham have played here since 1896, on the banks of the River Thames in west London, and the Johnny Haynes Stand is a Grade II listed building.
History of Craven Cottage
The first match with gate receipts was played on 10 October 1896 against Minerva FC. The original cottage was built in 1780 for William Craven, 6th Baron Craven, and the ground was redesigned by Archibald Leitch in 1904-05. It hosted matches at the 1948 Olympics.
The record crowd is 49,335, against Millwall in October 1938. A plane tree in the Putney End corner is believed to be the only tree in any British senior football stadium.
The stands at Craven Cottage
