Sounds like the sort of place George Michael would frequent :dft011:
Seriously...good luck with this :clap_hands:
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.
Just looking again at the Fulham USA site it has a list of pubs with this one in Chicago -

Not Forgetting Chicago Tom of course who helped with the setting up of FulhamUSA. Goodluck.
Maybe FulhamNYC can teach them how to make a real Pizza as well :dft012:
Lest we forget about the Charm City Cottagers!
