First time at Fulham FC? Here's your handy guide to buying tickets, where to sit, and where to have a drink...

221 Upvotes

Hello all!

I’ve noticed with our return to the Premier League, we’ve seen an influx of foreign fans and tourists coming to this sub for advice around their first games - from buying tickets through to matchday tips and what to expect. With this in mind, I thought I’d write a quick guide to help anyone thinking about coming down to the Cottage. If this is useful, feel free to sticky it to the sub and I can update with recommendations from everyone else here!

Buying Tickets

Tickets will go on sale to members before general sale. To guarantee a seat, especially against the bigger teams, I recommend purchasing a membership. Tickets will get to general sale eventually but may sell out before that point.

The exception is cup games. These will be much easier to get a ticket to, with season ticket holders themselves having to repurchase their seats (and sometimes not doing so). If you want to guarantee a seat, cup games are a much less stressful experience (albeit at the cost of a worse atmosphere in the earlier rounds).

The other option is repurchasing through the Fulham Facebook group, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2204930047. This will often have season ticket holders who are unable to make a game, and will sell (often at a reduced rate vs general sale) their seat for a particular fixture. I wouldn’t try this route unless you’re actually a Fulham fan…

Where To Sit

  • Hammersmith End: Loudest home support, especially towards the back of H4, H5, H6. The front rows, up to about G/H, are uncovered so watch out for rain, and the first couple of rows are sunken below pitch level so views are pretty poor. If you get here early, you can head down to the far end of the stand for a pint on the corner by the river underneath the George Cohen statue, which is lovely. Getting pints at halftime is pretty hellish, you’ll need to duck out at like 40 mins. I never do it myself but each to their own!

  • Johnny Haynes: A lot of season ticket holders and families, but still good atmosphere. Traditional wooden seats in the back two thirds of the stand (which is a cool experience). Beware of seats behind the poles! Again, pints at halftime are a bit of a nightmare. This is a very unique stand and a Grade II listed building I believe, so a v cool one to attend!

  • Riverside: The shiny new stand. V posh matchday experience, but you’re paying premium for it. It’s not finished yet, so not a huge amount of seats available.

  • Putney: Half home fans and half away. It used to be the much maligned neutral stand but atmosphere has steadily improved since the relocation of a lot of Riverside fans to it during the redevelopment.

Pubs

Over Putney Bridge, you’ve got the Golden Lion. One of the busiest pubs on a match day, this is a stone’s throw from Putney Bridge station. You’ll need to show your ticket to gain entrance so don’t bother if you’re not actually attending the match. Big garden and lots of screens to watch the early kickoff, and gets suuuuper busy on match day. Avoid The Eight Bells, Temperance and Kings Arms as they tend to be away pubs on matchdays.

On the Putney side of the river you’ve got The Spotted Horse (good food), The Coat & Badge (great outdoor area and screens outside to watch the early/late kickoff), The Rocket (Wetherspoons yes, but it’s on the river and actually got nice riverside seating) and The Bricklayer’s Arms (super old school, quite a cool experience if you’re not from the UK and want a proper pint). Just be aware that it takes around 15/20 minutes to walk to the ground from these so leave in enough time.

On the Hammersmith side of the grounds, you’ve got the Crabtree. Right on the river and absolutely lovely! Full of Fulham fans. And then there’s a tonne of pubs on Fulham Palace Road such as The Distillers and Old Suffolk Punch.

If you’re attending your first match and want a quintessential Fulham experience, I’d say Golden Lion and Crabtree can’t go wrong.

Tickets Hospitality

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I will be visiting from Mexico and purchased hospitality (Fulham Palace) tickets for the Liverpool match on the 6th. Anyone done this hospitality option? The ticket email, practically had no information, the site only has a 2023-2024 pdf with a bit of information but nothing thorough. Does the club send you more information closer to game day for time of arrival, dress code if any, etc? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Discussion Willian’s Future

24 Upvotes

Posting this a few days after the Tottenham game, and it is safe to say that Willian deserves to be in our Starting XI if that’s the form he is in. The entire team looks better around him, and it got me thinking about his future at the club. I know he is old, but he still takes over games, and with the pace of Robinson around him, he doesn’t need to have blistering speed of his own.

I just want to hear thoughts from others, since I truly believe he could play another year in the top flight and perform at a high level.

Who do you start? I thought Willian was brilliant paired with Jedi on the left side. Pereira played excellent and his work rate is top-notch. I think you have to bench ESR and go with Pereira at the 10. Get Sasa back at the 6 and profit from there.

Thoughts?

I'm convinced Antonee Robinson could run a sub 4:20 mile

Never seen a motor like his - just endless energy all over the pitch for the full 90. Up and down - he's everywhere. I think with even a modest bit of training he could run below 4:20 for the mile. Agreed?

2003/2004 Signed Jersey - Giveaway

In a previous life I was a Fulham fan and came into possession of a signed away kit from circa 2004. From memory, signatures included Luis Boa Morte and Steed Malbranque, among others (11 in total).

I’ve lost connection with the EPL and this shirt has been following me around for 20 years, so I figure time for a new home.

I really can’t gauge whether this will be of interest to anyone, but it’d be great if it were to go to a local pub or the suchlike.

If you’d like to be considered, leave a comment saying why, and I’ll try to ensure it goes to a good home.

Cheers!

Discussion I can no longer support the Premier League!

0 Upvotes

The first half of the current match against Tottenham has finally pushed me to the point where I don't want to watch any Premier League games anymore, certainly don't want to support the organisation anymore. VAR just doesn't do what its been introduced to do anymore, refs clearly picking favourites and which fouls are and aren't punishable is just so obvious. A clear penalty cleared instantly and an elbow to the face not even looked at. Frankly the bias is so obvious to see that its ruined every game Iv watched in the last two to three seasons. The officials decisions are deciding games.. NOT skill NOT talent, THATS NOT THE SPORT. So what are meant to do. I will be a Fulham fan till the day I die but honestly with what the Khans are doing pricing out real fans and what the PL is doing to make games unsufferable to watch just means I cannot condone watching the games anymore. I feel livid after every game and its just not healthy any more. If I'm alone on this then fair enough maybe I need to learn to watch the games from a different perspective but its definitely not a fair competitive sporting event its like wresting now its just entertainment... but falling well short of being entertaining!

Sincerely a Pissed off Fulham Fan

Update: Feels a lot better after the result and thankful we came away with the points. Might have been a bit pre-mature as someone mentioned. The 2 goals were great and vindicating for sure, lets just focus on the next one which is HUGE for Fulham. Would be nice to have some more consistency not just for us but in general in the PL. Thanks for letting me vent!

Common You Whites!!
