Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson
wants new rules to improve the size of Premier League dressing
rooms.
"Everton's are so narrow it is unbelievable," Ferguson told
Inside United magazine.
"Portsmouth's away dressing room is not great and the one at
Craven Cottage is smaller than my office.
"Fulham is one of my favourite grounds but when you have 18
players stripping down, plus coaches, physios and kit men, it is
ridiculous really."
Ferguson had an unhappy time when United last visited Craven
Cottage, with Fulham beating his side 2-0 on 21 March, but that was
their first defeat there since 1964.
Now the United boss has claimed Fulham's facilities are too
cramped, adding: "With all the money in the Premier League, some
grounds should be better.
"There should be a minimum standard of size of dressing room,
especially now you have more players on your bench and an increased
staff.
"You have requirements for stadiums to be eligible for certain
divisions, so the quality of the dressing room should be part of
that."
The facilities at United's ground Old Trafford get Ferguson's
approval, and he has also has no complaints about those at
Arsenal's Emirates Stadium - where his side will play the second
leg of their Champions League semi-final next week.
He explained: "There is plenty of room in the dressing rooms at
Old Trafford and, of the away grounds, Arsenal's are the best by
far."
The BBC was unable to contact Everton or Fulham for their
response to Ferguson's claims.
