fulham......record low season ticket sales!!!!

[stan_bowles]

I reckon they will average around 18k next season maybe a bit more if they do well

Also away from home a lot of grounds will be new for them so I can see them taking quite a few away from home

Our own away support has been pretty poor the last couple years ( bar the odd game ) and not a patch on what we used to take away when we were in div 3

Think it's down to cost again.I know i can't afford £100+ every other week to attend away games,especially at prem prices.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones....

It never ceases to amaze me that so many QPR fans like to gloat at the misfourtnes of other clubs, yet get offended when rival fans forums slate QPR.

Fulham had a good run as a Premiership club (as long as QPR's best ever top flight stint), yet fans on here slate them as a joke club...go figure!

Love it nick lol - Know what you mean though - I dont see myself a less of a fan as anyone who's got a season ticket nowadays. When I lived in london and had no kids it was fine getting a season ticket every year. Now with the kids and wife and living outside of London just cant afford every game so have to make do with the 6 or 7 i can get too. Miss going every week like mad but thats life and have other responsibilities but dont think that makes me or anyone similar a tourist fan.

We think the same maids, the reason I don't go is down to money and having a young family. Now don't get me wrong I know there's a lot who's in the same boat as me and still go, and fair play to them if that's what they choose. But one thing that will never change for me and that is family will always come first. And I wont be missing the first few years of my boys life because I'm going to football matches. Obviously this wont go on for ever, hell grow up, money wont be so tight and ill be able to go again..... But until then ill still go to the odd game when I can and ill still be giving it large when I'm in the company of chelsea, fulham etc fans.

Cost plays a massive part and something the Premier League/Football League really need to look at.

If a club like West Ham are only taking the upper tier at ours then you know its too expensive to get into football nowadays

I also think that in the div 3 days we had a united fan base for god knows how long and everyone really got behind the club , I think we have lost a number of loyal fans since then due to way the club has been run

Spot on and thoroughly agree with all that.......it's hypocrisy and double standards at it's worst.
Personally do not have a problem with Fulham, and as you say they had a good run in the Prem, who are we, QPR, to give them stick. Don't subscribe to all this tribalism bowlarks and *** for tat stuff...very puerile.

[Hove Ranger]

insignificant club are fulham.

The fact that most of the divs on here have more hatred for fulham over chelsc um just tells me the average age of this message board is about 17!!!

Have to agree. This "rivalry" with fulham has only come around in the last few seasons, have spent a lot longer disliking chelscum

And he only does it so they talk about him on other clubs forums, as his quest for internet fame does not only lend itself to this forum.

They now according to my Fulham work "mates" hate us far more than Chelsea.. A lot of a certain age hate us because of the grief at the cottage in 99 and now I believe took for granted we would never be in a higher league than them! And Reality is hard to take!!

[lymehoop]

puzzling some hate us because of the Fulham Park Rangers mooted by Jim Gregory in the 80's. As if any of us wanted it

For any Fulham readers

We hate Luton

i actually dont hate fulham.....like essex or kent......one is bigger better stronger!

[stainrodisalegend]

We can hardly blame cost for the low numbers who go to watch us - the same applies to every other club. Indeed, as living standards are a lot higher in London we must have one of the wealthiest catchment areas in football. Face it, we are a small club with a small fan base. Us basking in our size over Fulham wd be like Danny de Vito getting all superior because he's slightly taller than the poisoned dwarf in Dallas....

Weare: disagree with you on rivalry. I'm 46 but have very little interest in Chelsea rivalry (a certain memorable night in SW6 aside...) because life has moved on. They are in a different stratosphere and its just embarrassing to my mind that some fans try to keep it going. Yes there are one or two old time Chelsea fans who remember the rivalry but to most of them we might as well be Brentford. I agree the rivalry with Fulham is fairly new but if both sets of supporters put away their rose-tinted spectacles they wd have to accept that we are two very similar sized clubs both very close to each other - and I've no doubt we will be swapping divisions and playing each other a whole lot in the coming years, as cd see both of us becoming yo-yo clubs. Recipe for good healthy rivalry in my book...

i know some ffc fans good lads that stopped going when they got in the PL as they couldn't abide the new fans/ tourists
