Fulham's managing director Michael Fiddy has written to 12,000 local residents after deciding to boycott a meeting organised by a group opposed to their stadium redevelopment plans.

Fiddy claimed some of the club's neighbours were circulating inaccurate information about the proposals and felt he needed to explain their non-appearance at today's gathering.

Fulham Alliance have been vocal in their opposition to the £70 million plans for a 30,000 all-seater stadium on the Craven Cottage site, but the club denied claims about the height of the stands and the inclusion of a conference centre.

Fiddy said: "The nature of the misinformation propagated has led us to conclude it is inappropriate for the club to meet with the organisation."
