The question is like what is the meaning of life?
There is no answer other than in philosophical terms.
If you have to ask, you will never understand the answer but for what it is worth
I support fulham with 100% commitment, because I always have and always will, it is part of what I am . Fulham is part of my being and fabric. It has been thus for as long as I can remember. I have always spent far too long concerning myself with the well being of the club and team and whether we should play the five man back four. Whenever 'stuff' occurs I always check the dates to make sure I can still go the game or whether I can get to a sneaky unexpected away game.
In the words of Rene Descartes, I think therefore I support Fulham.

Happy Christmas

Ignore him Claire.....mostly it's fun isn't it.....and what about LVC.......sorry I'm getting boring about him aren't I......but love real footballing talent when I see it.
Think I've moved away from the topic here.

I go to Fulham, because craven cottage is the most charismatic sporting arena in the world, bar none  xma2

Yes! Like that answer!  But for me, it's because my Grandad started supporting Fulham in 1903, then my dad, my uncles, my cousins and now me, my brothers, and my sons. (Grandson's not so sure!).  So what else can I do?  Fulham is for life.

CorkCity, expectations are expectations, no matter how low - it sounds like you're looking for trouble. I used to be able to handle hope but even that got too much. Now I just worry about whether the underground's running when there's a game.

As a teenager, I still remember walking up the terracing at the Hammersmith End and seeing the pitch open out in front of me, the river in the back ground and I had found the club that would stay with me the rest of my life. We lost that day in the FA Cup 1st round......I should have known better!

One sentence?

Because I knew within 2 or 3 games that I would be a fan for life, because you stick with something or someone through good times and bad, because I hate shopping, I love football (I would honestly rather watch Fulham play and lose than not play at all), I love West London and the river Thames, I have many Fulham friends and enjoy the social side, the highs are so good that you forget the lows, it gives me a purpose in life, an escape from work, a reason to talk, a reason to sulk, a common interest with the wife, a reason to travel the Country and plan weekends away, a sense of pride, a sense of belonging and .............. FOF.

Moved to Southfields from Glasgow when young. Loved it from the first visit back in 1960. Stuck with them ever since, well you can't change can you?
I suppose supporting the Scottish national team wasn't painful enough so added Fulham to finish the job. :merry christmas:

Fulham gives me a warmth from the pit of my belly supporting them. Its not an aggressive or confrontational feeling just a warm, all are welcome feeling that win lose or draw I smile. Helps my dad uncle and cousin before me love them and cousin after me loves theme but as said before I would rather lose with fulham than win with someone else.
