Fulham will play at either QPR's Loftus Road or West Ham's Upton Park next season during the �70m revamp of Craven Cottage.

Fulham expect their redevelopment plans to be given the final go-ahead when the High Court finally hears 11 local residents' challenge to the granting of planning permission.

Proceedings were adjourned earlier in October.

If the appeal is successful Fulham will begin work on a 30,000 all-seater stadium that would be ready for the start of the August 2003 season.

Craven Cottage's current capacity is 20,787 capacity.

Jean Tigana's side visit West Ham this Saturday in the Premiership.
