Walton Casuals Chairman is Tony Gale and Ray Lewington's son Craig is their captain...there are sure to be a lot of old faces down there and it is the last chance to see some Fulham action before the visit of Norwich.
Added to the mix the sponsor of Walton Casuals is a massive Fulham supporter who many people will know (he done all 10 aways on our momentous Europa League adventure)....added to the above my mate Manages Walton Casuals and the weather is going to be brilliant!
Be great to see a turnout. (invite from Travers Barney)

...yes, the guv'nor's a Fulham fan, on away days it is usually full of Fulham fans and the staff wear Fulham tops - even the filth supporting barman has to..!
Yeah i know The george.. we could meet there before if you wish.. ive been there with Shady in the past.

Not sure where that is in location to the ground mate but others may know...I think that there is a pub not too far away...they have a new clubhouse since we played them a couple of years back when dear old Johnny Morris was their manager....I'm sure we'll get a warm welcome in there.

Its a couple of miles away so probably easier to meet at the ground as you say
...The Weir pub at the end of the lane is right on the riverside, a nice pub with really good food, just head for the Elmbridge Xcel Leisure centre, go down Waterside Drive - turn right and go until you can't go any further for the pub (hard to get parked there as it is very popular). Not sure what the parking is like at the Walton ground though...

See if you can persuade Shady to get down there mate!
...I'm speaking to shady1 tomorrow, I'll mention it...
I shall be part of Barney's convoy from Motspur Park, so look forward to seeing a few familiar faces on Sunday!!

...just spoken to S1, he has fishing already planned (reeds cleared, bed churned up and baited - this means something to fishermen apparently) so it is unlikely he'll make an appearance - but you never know...

That's a pity....just got a glimpse of the Walton Casuals line up on a old fag packet but Mick quickly retrieved if from eyeshot....pretty sure that our old Motspur Park keeper Gareth Williams will between the sticks for them!

See you in the clubhouse at 12.00

Apparently they are opening a new bar at their ground tomorrow (open from 11) and there will be hot and cold food available.
Additionally they will be screening the charity shield/other london team friendlies afterwards.
And its gonna be hot.

Fulham Team
Somogyl
Brister
Grygera
Burn
Kavanagh
Alex Smith
Donegan
Ryan Wiliams
Kasami
Trotta
Charles Banya
reserves
Bettinelli
Penkiket
Minkowitz
Richard Muso (trialist)
Dino Ibramhavic
No Dempsey so he must be off
Nice to see a few of us turn up
I thought Dan Burn looked good, very very tall. He must answer to Dan-ger-land
Minkiwitz looks like he has something, as people have said similar to Murphy, he should make the grade
These are the only two who looked ready
Trotta has all the ball conrtol of a eunuch
Kasami was trying too hard
Penkiket lood useful when he came on but not first team yet
Grygera didn't have a lot to do but what he did in the first half looked assured
Ryan Williams should progress

Dan Burn - the lad from Darlington, a very tall defender who plays with the assured style of a certain tall Norwegian player.

Ronnie Minkwitz -a midfielder who as sunburywhite points out in the Danny Murphy mould.

Ryan Williams - a useful right winger
(http://i49.tinypic.com/2d9bp0o.jpg)
Richard Peniket - a left sided midfielder, finds space and actually passes the ball to other players in his own side (usually)
'Dave' took his goal well but squandered a host of chances, but the biggest worry was Pajtim Kasami, poor decision making, passing awful - unless he intended to pass to the opposition, and shooting when a pass to players in a better position would have been easier and more productive.
The lads pictured made the best impression for me but I think I hoped for a sign of being relaxed and in control against lower league amateurs; Walton Casuals played well it has to be said, but we spent more time passing back and sideways than going forwards and when we were in possession too many white shirted players playing statues, no movement off the ball.
Consolations for a very average performance being a nice sunny day, a good turn out of FoF members, a nice club house and bar and the first time I have seen the new home kit - looks good...
Fair summary LB my thoughts...seen Burn perform better...smith is good shame he went off....banya was neat and tidy....kasami was appalling.
Disappointed with us today on the field but we had a great day down at the casuals.

A most enjoyable afternoon/early evening!!
I seem to remember that there was a game of football played!!
Barney and myself spent a nice afternoon/evening (??!!) in the Casuals bar having one or two glasses of pop, of which quite a few were bought by Tony Gale, who was very appreciative of the turn out by the Fulham faithful!!
A disappointing game, but given that it was played at the hottest part of the day wasn't a surprise!! We were told that Kasami was made to play the whole 90 mins as he had been so poor in the first half!!
