Great idea. I definitely think there are enough Fulham fans in and around Chicago to make it successful.

I would recommend you communicating with the New York supporters group - @NYCFulham - to ask them how they went about setting up, how often they meet etc. They seem to have a great venue to meet in.

I guess the thing is to just get it up and running regardless of how few of you there are intially & more will come in time.  

Also get in touch with the Fulham USA guys - @fulhamusadotcom - and post your details on their website -  http://fulhamusa.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6 (http://fulhamusa.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6) - you are sure top pick some followers from there.

You might also see if you can pick up Fulham fans via these guys - @YanksAbroad

Lastly drop this guy a line to see if he has any ideas - @MBenedetto6 - he works for the club & set up Fulham USA.
