The above is not exhaustive, and Fulham do consider each application on a case-by-case basis.

There is no definitive list of items that can or cannot be brought into the stadium. Stewards will use their own judgement to assess items and a Left Luggage facility is available in the event that you have an item with which can’t be brought inside.

This Bag Drop facility is located at the Ormiston Bridge Academy on Greswell Street (open three hours prior to kick-off at 16:45 GMT and two hours after the match has finished).

Fulham will permit flags on poles and banners.

For the safety of all supporters, it is illegal to use flares, flash bangs and other pyrotechnics at the stadium.

Persistent standing is not permitted at Craven Cottage. Fulham understand that fans may stand during exciting moments in the game, but respectfully ask that all supporters make every effort to remain seated during play. Persistent standing impedes the view of fellow fans, particularly senior supporters and younger children, and can lessen their enjoyment of the game.

Visiting fans tickets are located in the Putney End, with entrances on Stevenage Road on the side closest to Bishop's Park.

If you require extra help accessing the stadium then please visit Gate 1, which is located immediately to the left of the red brick turnstile block, as you face the entrances. A member of Fulham's Access Stewarding team will be pleased to assist you with entry and if required access to your seat. The Access team are easily identifiable in green jackets.

A steward is located at each gate to help with any queries. If your ticket is damaged, or entry is denied, then the best course of action is to visit the stadium Ticket Office in the Johnny Haynes Stand for further assistance.

Supporters who have any accessibility issues with searches and require a reasonable adjustment during the search, are advised to make the steward aware of this before the search.

If they have any concerns, Fulham also have an accessibility steward posted around Gate 1, which is next to the away turnstiles. Any supporters with accessible requirements, or in need of any assistance, can contact Fulham's Disability Access Officer, at nblair@fulhamfc.com.
