The Dugout - Fulham FC Hospitality at Craven Cottage
Pitch-side hospitality at Craven Cottage - behind the coaching staff, pitchside warm-up access, post-match legend Q&A
The Dugout is the most immersive package at Craven Cottage: seats in Block R05 in the Riverside Stand, directly behind the coaching staff, with pre-game pitchside access to watch the warm-up from the touchline and a legend Q&A after the final whistle. Inclusive bowl food and complimentary beers, wines and soft drinks throughout, in a sports bar on Level -1 of the Riverside Stand that opens around three hours before kick-off. One practical note: the bar closes at 19:30, which matters on an evening fixture.

Where you sit
Block R05 in the Riverside Stand, directly behind the coaching staff - the closest hospitality seating to the technical area at Craven Cottage. Pre-game pitchside access is included, so you are on the touchline for the warm-up before taking the seat.
Lounge access
A sports bar setting on Level -1 of the Riverside Stand, opening around 3 hours before kick-off and staying open at half-time and after the final whistle. Inclusive bowl food. Complimentary beers, wines and soft drinks. Pre-game pitchside access to watch the warm-up from the touchline. A post-match legend Q&A. The bar closes at 19:30, so on an evening kick-off the post-match window is shorter than it looks.
How The Dugout compares
The Dugout is where you go for proximity and atmosphere rather than views. The Sky Deck above it is three floors and a rooftop terrace; The Originals is a quieter dedicated lounge with a river-facing balcony. All three overlap on price, so this is a choice about the kind of day rather than the budget. Nothing else at Craven Cottage gets you onto the touchline before kick-off or into a Q&A afterwards.

The Dugout FAQs
What is The Dugout at Fulham?
A pitch-side hospitality experience at Craven Cottage with seats in Block R05, directly behind the coaching staff in the Riverside Stand. It includes pre-game pitchside access to watch the warm-up from the touchline, inclusive bowl food, complimentary beers, wines and soft drinks, and a post-match legend Q&A, based in a sports bar on Level -1.
Is there pitchside access with The Dugout?
Yes - guests go pitchside before the game to watch the warm-up from the touchline. It happens at a set time before kick-off, so arriving late means missing it. This is the only Craven Cottage package that includes it.
What is the post-match legend Q&A?
A Fulham legend takes questions in the lounge after the final whistle. It is a genuine sit-down session rather than a walk-through, and it is one of the two things - along with the pitchside access - that the knowledge base description of this package leaves out entirely.
Why does the bar close at 19:30?
It is a licensing arrangement in that part of the Riverside Stand rather than anything to do with the package. It matters on an evening kick-off, when the post-match window is shorter than the three-hours-pre figure might suggest, so we flag it rather than let it come as a surprise.
What is the dress code at Craven Cottage hospitality?
Smart casual across the Riverside Stand lounges. None of them is a black-tie environment - the Riverside is a modern stand and the atmosphere in all five spaces is relaxed. Away colours are not appropriate in the home hospitality areas.
Is this official Fulham hospitality?
The packages are sourced through our network of authorised hospitality suppliers rather than the secondary market, and every booking is confirmed to you in writing before you commit. DN Global is not Fulham's official hospitality provider and does not present itself as one - what we guarantee is that the facility and inclusions you are quoted are the ones you receive.
Can I book this package for a group?
Yes - DN Global arrange Craven Cottage hospitality for groups of all sizes, and seats are confirmed together rather than scattered. The Riverside spaces vary a lot in size, from around 156 guests in The Originals to roughly 900 in Markers Bar, so tell us your numbers early and we will point you at the room that fits.
How do I get to Craven Cottage?
Putney Bridge on the District line is about a ten-minute walk along the river, and Hammersmith is fifteen to twenty minutes on foot. The walk through Bishops Park to the ground is one of the better approaches in London football. There is effectively no parking at the ground. DN Global can arrange private transfers as part of your package.
