Next season will be our 20th in the Premier League. Let that sink in.
Better than the thoughts after being 91st in the league and losing to the side that was 92nd...
Grand days these. ::thumb:: ::scarf::

Absolutely right.....many of us remember well those dark days of the 80s and early 90s - I'm constantly telling my son what a great time it is to be a Fulham fan ::scarf::
We're doomed

I'm exactly the same... my lad was born in '97.... he cannot remember the old division 3 and division 4 days... although we had the odd amazing moment like 1975... 👍

Actually still think it was more enjoyable back in the day, we might not have survived but we did, 3000 standing in the same places every week, we rocked up at 2.55pm to stand in our spots, more access to the player, proper footballers not athletes who can kick a ball. And for me makes sod all difference if we're playing Man U or Cambridge United

Take yourselves along to Hampton & Richmond games in the National League South - you'll find what you're looking for there ::smile::
I often think what it would be like if we had not been financially rescued. Part of the ground was on the way to being sold thus limiting the attendance and stifling any future attempts to bring top flight football back to the Cottage. Ambition would be extremely limited. Do I like that thought? Er no.
Thank you and good night.

I've been to quite a few matches at Walton & Hersham this season who won the Southern League Premier South title by 8 points 👏
They'll be playing in the National League South next season

I agree
IMO the 'good old days' weren't actually that good.
