No wonder the ST prices are going up , everyone should keep away , except me.

So how many more could we expect if the ground could take it? Would we be capable of say a 30,000 average? Not sure we would.

It is a marvellous turnaround though from the days of Dicks and Mackay...... where you could pay on gate at 5 to 3 and know your favorite standing spot would be available.

I have no hankering for those days and relish this golden period for FFC.

We are a very different business model now though. Wonder how the club feel about generating more support?

Are the TV revenues from games in Europe and the FA cup more important than a marginal increase in support?

IMO we should appreciate where we are right now,,,, if we grow to the stage where we have a large waiting list for season tickets the pressure to leave the Cottage would increase.

Alister Macintosh (MD) is very keen to increase our fan base, hence the 'understanding' with the group who own the Red Socks in the USA. The current board view Fulham FC as a brand, it just happens to be a football club.
I'm still in two minds as to whether this is a good thing, for the long run I have my doubts, short term its brought us more success than we could have dreamed of only 10 years ago.

these could be our 'golden years', but I hope this is just the start of them

This thread reminds me of a Monty Python sketch.

I'm amazed that it's only gone down by 100 people , especialy considering the financial situation we're in as country and also the amount of added games which are expensive due to the teams we're playing!

Also - out of interest - has anyone else noticed that "fulham fans" have been sprouting out of nowhere in their social circles co-inciding with the apointment of Hodgson and all that!?
