So many things from strolling through the park after securing three points, Mitro bossing the centre halves & watching the river flow past at halftime. My greatest loss though is looking up at the seats in the Riverside my folks sat in since it was built, gone forever now of course. What are you missing?
Everything
A pre match beer in the Coat and Badge but strangely enough not the football itself
The whole experience but especially that moment when we score the winning goal, usually a Mitro goal.

I agree with the 2nd part of what you say, not least because Scott Parker's tactics (I am assuming he's the root cause) are usually so boring.
Quite honestly I'm not missing football of any kind I started to fall out of love with the professional game a few years back but kept my ST up and attended all home games with very few exceptions but this has made me realise that I don't feel the love anymore so will not be rushing back😞
I hadn't been in town in awhile already, but all the Fulham friend supporters I get to see when in town. I miss the The Lion. Bricklayers. Foxes, the greatest pub in the world with a putting green for carpet.

I respect your decision but it feels kind of sad...Even if you no longer want to attend games please don't ever lose your love for FFC!
Let's hope the fuzzy old video tapes have been watched during lockdown, and it's been decided once and for all that passing continually across the back, 75percent possession and 1-0 defeats have been banished for good and all. I've rather enjoyed missing those....

A pint of beer in a pub....any pub....but, not any beer - but, give it another couple of weeks, and I'll be drinking slops

I will never lose my love for FFC
Agree about never losing your love for the club and can't wait to get back to the Cottage although it may not be till the 2021 - 22 season.
However I just cannot get any enthusiasm for games behind closed doors. Makes these games seem like friendlies and I imagine some of the players are going to feel the same way.

We need to finish the season otherwise the games played, and paid to see, so far this season will become virtual friendlies.
Miss it terribly, though unfortunately being unable to go to many games - but can at least plan and anticipate going to some.
But just miss matchday, even if it's just listening to GJ and Jamie - so lucky to have this , planning my day round it, the build up on here, then losing myself in the game, even if just Jim's commentary, and even if I do feel down if we lose!
Going to the Cottage is even sweeter to me now, not being able to go much, and even going to away games I love the atmosphere, being amongst Fulham fans, cheering as the Super Whites take the pitch.
Flying over to England to watch the match and getting in some pints of decent beer :003:
My worry is that until a vaccine is available I am never going to feel totally at ease if and when spectators are allowed back.
I miss all the little things, which taken together make for a great day.
- The anticipation.
- The drive to Putney.
- Getting a pre-match beer and bag of chips from Fishers.
- The walk through Bishops Park.
- Meeting friends and family in the Hammersmith End.
- The result (hopefully).
- Listening to Sports Report on the way home.
I'm also not missing it as much as I thought.
It controlled my life to the point of being in such a bad mood after poor results that without it I feel so much better!
As a fan I have this strong feeling of being detached from the club.
For me April-May are the best months at the cottage, even more so when there is something to play for.
Beer in the sun on the Thames, sunlit evening walk through the park, being with family. It has been such a shame to lose these fantastic months- even more for with Euro 2020 on the horizon.
I miss the football match, but not as much as the whole experience, but that is probably as I'm less emotionally invested in this campaign as others due to the football being played and lack of excitement, and the disappointment of last season.
I miss the pre match pint at one of my many favourite pubs, the walk through the park to the Cottage.
However I am getting totally pissed of with the ineptitude of the Premiershite and the EFL and all the greedy gits involved - I agree with spuds Danny Rose - peoples health should come first - stuff sport. Let`s sort out real life first - then think about sport.

+1. Also, the walk through Bishops park is special and takes me back through the years.
I agree that April and May are special months to visit the cottage. I love the walk down the river from Hammersmith and the anticipation of the match, the sight of our floodlights twinkling in the afternoon light adds to that atmosphere. Unlike some, I still enjoy some of our football; it hasn't suddenly gone from scintillating to dreadful because it wasn't the former and it hasn't become the latter. It can get a bit frustrating watching us try to play out from the back (all the time), some of our wing play leaves a bit to be desired and some of our dead ball kicks lack imagination and/or quality but hey ho this is FFC.
I miss being able to wander back to the Dove for a post match pint and then going on for a bit to eat somewhere. My wife and I have tried some unlikely restaurants around Hammersmith and Chiswick over the years and occasionally even scored some enjoyable bulls eyes!
Beer,Friends and family.

It's only a pity that Taylor's isn't any longer at Hammersmith for stewed eels or fish and chips post match....or come to that my grandparents not around any more who used to take me there.....but hey, I'm going back around sixty years... this lockdown deal seems to bring on the nostalgia big time..

This is me! I just love being in Fulham itself. Takes me back to my childhood, going to games with my Dad, popping in to see my Gran after the game, as she lived in Colwith Road and I relive it every time I go. Also love being part of the Fulham family, from all different walks of life but all loving the same club. It's a special feeling and I miss it now I am no longer living in the UK, although up until recently was able to watch most of our games live via Fulham TV.
Train up to London from Hove, lunch and a pint and a walk along the river. Really missing my Putney end seat just behind the goal......

All these. Sometimes not the 90 minutes themselves though, even if we win. I'm not a big fan of Scott Parker. Perhaps we were spoiled by Slavisa.
Having to mess around with the frequent bus replacement services between Stoneleigh and Wimbledon or Wimbledon and Putney Bridge..
I wouldnt miss it for the World!

I miss all those things you have mentioned, but I also miss my mistress as well.
If your missing your mistress
have you tried adjusting your telescopic site or considered
hiring a hitman...
