One of the interesting facts to emerge from the Fulham, promotional video which was posted on here a few days ago is that it is claimed that 60-% of our supporters are in the AB Socio-economic group.
Why I find this claim to be spurious is that as my chart shows, only around 25% of the population are classified as being AB, that is the upper echelons of society.
Either football is no longer the working man’s game or Fulham, has developed into the prawn sandwich brigade so often levelled at Manchester United.
I rather think that to say that six out of every ten supporters attending our matches are in the best jobs earning the highest salaries is stretching the truth just a bit.
I am willing to concede, however, that 60% of the posters on this MB fall into the AB category, but 60% of our total support? I think not.
Total M F
Social Grade A Upper Middle Class -
Higher managerial, administrative or professional Estimated 000s 1,932 1,032 900
% profile 4.0 4.4 3.6
Social Grade B Middle Class -
Intermediate managerial, administrative or professional Estimated 000s 10,573 5,404 5,169
% profile 21.9 23.1 2 0.8
I realise from the preview of this post that my chart does not replicate correctly. But I trust you get the gist.

If you can afford to go now you have to be affluent. I used to go year in year out, season ticket holder for years and years and now wouldn't be able to afford a game let alone a season ticket.
For those less affluent then yourselves please give to -
GIVE ME MONEY PLEASE

...I am considered so low in society that I am considered more effluent than affluent, I beleive I am in the D- socio-wotsit group as that is what my teachers always put at the bottom of my schoolwork!
Anyway, as another economic exile, please send all donations to:-

Cor blimey guvnor, what a load of old cods. If we wuz as effluent as you are saying then cor luv a duck mate, I am sitting in the wrong seat. Footbal is and always will be the working mans game but the suits are trying their best to change that, thats why they issue all this propaganda just to try and change us. Well me old china, they wont get away with it.

I've instructed my butler to inspect your figures Mr Hat. I'll be in a position to comment later this afternoon because he has to serve luncheon and vacuum the west wing first.

Mr Hat's Bank Manager wrote to him last week advising not to deposit any more funds into his Current Account as it's full.. |

However have to serve up some Spam sandwiches to a few people he has for lunch so can't stop. Bugger he has rung his bell again

As a service to those on this MB that plead for funds from those that have some affluence, I will put myself forward as a central contact to receive and er, ahem, dispose of the funds properly. I do this free of charge, and solely as a service to my common man, so please give freely to help them that ain't got much. All funds can be deposited via paypal to GiveMeDosh@plentyOfEmptyPots.org |

Haha, well do they take into consideration all the people who may have season tickets from abroad? I know weve got at least one from Austria..... and I wish the cost of to see a game from the US was the price of just one season ticket!
