It’s a fantastic away day actually. The stadium is indeed probably my favourite in the football league, very unique with the original cottage in the corner and the fans are good, very supportive.

Let’s be honest though, telling him he’ll never wear your shirt again is hardly going to give him sleepless nights, he forced the move out of there judging by Warnock comments.

I wouldn't describe Fulham as a 'fantastic away day' personally but each to their own.

The Stadium is in a nice setting but is pretty mediocre and the away end isn't up to much.

Like Reading, it's just convenient and a fairly easy trip and Aberbeeg is right assuming Reid has said that, whilst he's not really going to say any different he surely doesn't mean it as when you have played for Bristol City and Cardiff as you're last two Clubs to then describe Fulham Fans as 'great' is a bit of a joke.

They brought 1,500 here for a 3pm Saturday KO and were dogshit, the season we went up I think they brought 600 on boxing day.

Fulham, Reading, Watford, Wycombe etc, easy trips, shit Clubs.

Fulham is often touted as many people’s favourite away day in the football league. The ground is old but that is the charm, it’s one of the most historic grounds in English football. Give me Craven Cottage over a soulless flat pack bowl that are everywhere these days.

Not sure what you mean by your point regarding Cardiff and Bristol City fans tbh. I wouldn’t say either have a particularly good reputation for having “good fans”, do they? Arsenal have a lot of fans at their games, but they are woeful in terms of support.

Last year Fulham were ranked 8th in terms of support and atmosphere, Cardiff 18th.

I actually agree with you. Fulham is a cracking day out, as for the FFC fans though, supportive they are. I wouldn't say that they were great in terms of volume or numbers.

The player has a responsibility to himself and his new employers. Any player signing for a new club says something similar. TBH I'm not bothered about what he is doing now, he has gone and I have forgotten him already.

Fulham is a good day out especially if you win ;)

My fav day out is Fulham away and for a number of other people I know In fact apart from Derby matches it’s the first we look for

No one has ever said I always wanted to play for Fulham apart from a Fulham fan Reid if that is your dream I feel sorry for you
Must make Bristol City fans feel sick

Re: I’ve always wanted to play for Fulham.....

did he use bristol city to stir up interest from Fulham? I notice Warnock has been very complimentary about Bristol city in the press.

Re: I’ve always wanted to play for Fulham.....

Standard talk for most footballers arriving at a new club." A great club, full of ambition, and I am confident I can help them get promotion". Players say the same old things every time, and they just come out with whatever the fickle fans want and expect to hear. If he was to return to Cardiff he would be full of how he never really wanted to leave in the first place, and how Cardiff is really where is heart is and how great a club we are. It's all just spin, as long as they are well paid they will say anything to please the fans.

Re: I’ve always wanted to play for Fulham.....

Still think he is just looking for a top half PL move and this time thinks Fulham is his best shot at getting it !!

Deluded springs to mind :roll:

Bobby who? ;)

And as I said in my post 'each to their own', I'm just giving my personal viewpoint.

Iv been to Fulham a few times, never been a particular favourite of mine.

And what I meant was he's just had a season with Cardiff where he's played in front of 30,000 plus every week in games which in the main the home fans created an outstanding atmosphere. On the road he would have seen us sell out our away allocations in the majority of games and again create an amazing atmosphere.

He played and scored in our home game against Fulham and would have seen the away end as quiet as a mouse and a 1/3 full and he came off the bench in the reverse fixture where he would have seen us fill our away end and parts of the home end whilst creating an atmosphere in a stadium where the home fans just bang two bits of blow up inflatables together.

You might not like it but despite relegation we excelled ourselves last season as fans, the atmosphere we created home and away was second to none as I think you will find our reputation was somewhat enhanced and acknowledged by fans and pundits alike.

What do you mean I may not like it?

I didn’t create that article that had you 2nd from bottom in the league in terms of fans and Fulham 8th, it just seemed to mirror what my thoughts were. Playing in front of 30,000 is irrelevant, Arsenal play in front of more and they are among the worst fans going.

Very much sounds like you have a different reputation in your head to what is reality maybe? I mean that genuinely. Try and find any article such as that which put Cardiff even in the top half in their respective league, or even above the bottom 5... I doubt you will be able to. That’s not a criticism either, just being realistic.

One article by a website iv never even hered of.

Seriously, you only had to watch our games last season to here what pundits and opposition fans were saying about us.

That entire article is a complete mess.

I'm not even entertaining it and that's not in my head, I'm fairly confident most would agree, to say our ground had the 3rd worst atmosphere in the division last season is absolutely farcical.

I assume most fans probably say and think the same though. Always sounds louder when you are in amongst it.

Talksport also did a table and you came 18th out of 20 for fan atmosphere with them too. Fulham 9th.

Just incase you think Talksport have something against the Welsh.

We ranked 4th when they did the same thing when we were in the PL

It's the same article as you have already posted, you do realise that right?

It's not talksport findings and I don't think talksport have anything against the Welsh as they constantly bigged our fans up last season on all parts of the show.

No they are different. Hence why they find Fulham 9th as opposed to 8th in the first one.

It’s only the same in so much as they also think you are 18th. But the articles themselves are completely different.

No its the same thing taken fro. The football maps uk article, they have just slightly altered it with spurs and their stadium situation.

Eh? Do you mean same concept? It really is not the same article, don’t know what else to say - it just isn’t.

Read them.

There is another too in which you fare slightly better, think you are 14th and Fulham 9th. They are all different articles, but none seem to mirror what you are saying.

Re: I’ve always wanted to play for Fulham.....

Sat Aug 10, 2019 4:11 pm

It's in big letters at the start of it. Talksport has taken data from football ground maps which is the same data used in the article posted on the 90 minutes.com.

It is the same, it's not their 'own table' which you claimed, it's not 90 minutes.coms table either.

Both websites have just copied it, albeit talksport have changed it very slightly.

Yes they used the same data, it’s not the same article.

Data is data, just factual sources in which to help come to a certain conclusion. A bit like two articles reporting on the top deadliest strikers in the Premier League, their source will be OPTA, but they won’t be the same article nor necessarily come to the same conclusion, just as talksport and 90mins also came to different conclusions - but similar.
