...further to Shady1's statement regarding the members card and it's apparent worthlessness, he commented about what has the Neutral End achieved.
So, Should we keep the 'Neutral' status of the Putney End?
1) YES. It attracts many neutral observers who may in time become regular attenders and even fans of Fulham.
2) NO. Why not keep a section of the Putney End available to away fans, proportional to their regular away attendances; but for the rest of that stand, give the Members Card holders first 'dibs' at available seats.
That way Fulham fans who are members, that for whatever reason cannot afford a season ticket, or cannot attend regularly will attend more often as there will be seats available for them, and create a better atmosphere and give Fulham the edge in vocal support.
3) DON'T CARE (either way). You must be a neutral fan!
Please comment on any pros and cons either way...
seeing the Putney End full of Fulham fans for the Europa games was fantastic and 'helped' with the support noise
How about an unsure section? I'd love it to be full of fulham supporters, but i'd hate it to look like Boro when they was in the Prem with loads of empty seats.

Having it is the only reason we can sell tickets on a matchday
It allows friends & family to sit together even if they support different teams
It provides an area for away fans who have travellled without tickets to sit where home fans can expect them to be
It shows that Fulham are a friendly club and raises us up above the average club
Sorry EWM It annoys me so much that the away team have their allocation and that should be it, i am fed up with seeing the whole of the putney virtually full of away fans. As far as i am aware we are the only club that do this, it is wrong.

When the Putney end is full of away fans it is because thousands of them have been allocated tickets there, not because thousands of them have turned up on the day without tickets...
Does your logic apply to home areas as well? If so, you as a Fulham supporter would not be able to buy tickets for home areas on a matchday.
Get used to it, whilst we can't sell out to home supporters, it is in the clubs interest to have this facility. Or would you rather empty seats and falling revenue?
