Absolutely incredible that we can't sell out a London Derby in the UK Premier League,
Imagine if those extra 7,000 tickets were available 😳
As I've said previously I only attend Fulham games to watch Fulham, it seems that we've now got thousands of supporters (that the FST are really concerned about) who only want to watch the opposition, as seen with the Liverpool game,
It baffles me it really does, surely if you are a Fulham supporter you only want to watch Fulham or am I reading it wrong 🤔
The writing is well and truly on the wall for next season if we get relegated and have to face the likes of Rotherham and Preston in our 30,000 capacity stadium.
calm down
It's very close to being sold out. If you try and buy tickets now there are hardly any available.
Given the current cost of living crisis I would think a lot of people who buy the odd ticket will think twice of spending £250 to take their son to a game
Inflation has hit over 10% and ticket prices are really high. Not everybody sadly has any spare income. Times are tough and frankly a football match is no longer a high priority.
You do realise that there is a train strike on Saturday? Not every Fulham supporter who would like to get there will be able to do so.
Literally a handful left. No district line up from Wimbledon & a lot of local bus services not running not helping

And a bus strike in west London. And a reduced service on the District Line.
I'd wager a lot of cash that it's the transport strikes that have slowed down ticket sales. That said if you take a look now on the FFC website there are very few seats available that aren't restricted view.
This is the third thread you've started on this topic and it's getting a bit weird in all honesty, especially since there are lots of reasons why it might not be a sellout and that there's been far less than a thousand tickets left for a while now
Peak holiday season will have a big effect with our fan base being smaller, high ticket prices, rail strike, reduced bus service so not that surprising.
Sold out.
We are season ticket holders who have to fly into Gatwick for every game and have cancelled our flights. One day travel cards normally cost about £24 for the two of us but cabs and hotel for this Saturday would have cost £350. No brainier.
What an honestly bizarre thread.
Hoping to get 2 together tomorrow when I ring the ticket office . If I don't Liz Truss will hear about it.

District Line from Wimbledon to Parsons Green is running between 8AM and 6 PM according to TFL, so should be OK if not ideal
There are tickets still available in the Putney end.

Yeah but who wants to sit next to those Weirdo's lol
And yet against Liverpool with exorbitant pricing tickets sold out in days, no cost of living crisis there, and yet its given as a factor for cheaper tickets not selling out against Brentford, very strange,
As I said in the O.P there are Fulham supporters that go because of the opposition, Chelsea at silly prices will sell out easily and that's an early kick off on TV .
It's simple economics....the touts have people queuing for the likes of Liverpool in London.... Against kew bridge it'll be a slower burn, but will sell out....
It is peak holiday time, poor transport links and unlike he Liverpool game hopefully they won't have hundreds of fans sitting in the Putney end.

Are you not listening? From the club site "In addition to nationwide strikes on the railway, there will also be no service on the District line between Wimbledon and Parsons Green before 8am and after 6pm, while a number of bus services in West/South-West London and Surrey are affected." And have you actually looked at the ticket page to see what hasn't sold out? A few restricted view Putney end seats.

As at 11.06am today the number of seats, excluding restricted view, still available in the Putney End
P1 - 17
P2 - 63
P3 - 113
P4 - 24 (this must be where all the Brentford fans have bought their tickets)
The problems with travel will definitely be a factor in there still being tickets available but the cost of tickets (£55 adult, £50 concession) will also have stopped people buying. Also, I don't think they have gone on general sale, just to supporters with a previous booking history, some of whom will be Brentford fans no doubt.
Bought a Hammy End ticket this afternoon but low down and the far end of the stand . The chap on the phone said only a few left and he expects the game to sell out.
Not the view I wanted but my fault for leaving it so late - a far cry from my old days as a Riversider where I had a padded seat , great view ,our own Bar watching the likes of Simon Morgan , Martin Pike , Jim Stannard and Glen Thomas.
Dark days on the pitch though , 3rd and 4th tiers of the Leagues
Also parking meter fees amount to £15 for the match, we are being hit in all directions.

I've never paid to park on a Saturday and won't be this weekend.
