Works OK at non league level where it is mostly standing.
However I feel it would be totally impractical in densely seated areas of Championship and Premier League grounds.
It's bad enough now with late arrivals and half time tipplers getting to their seats 25 minutes after kick off.

Precisely and glad we all agree.
I need a Dark Rum 🥃 to celebrate common sense prevailing.

The hammy end bogs will be busier with booze in the seats!

I think it will be even busier with booze in the people 🤣

And quicker to get blocked up.

Where's Mr Woolly when you need him!!     

I am currently laying on a Lilo in the Swimming Pool located in the Riverside Stand wearing my favourite Speedo's, holding a Pina Colada in one hand, and a copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the other hand, being waited on hand and foot by Nick Bateman.

I'm curious about Pep Guadiola's knowledge/involvement.
Could you be in his position & not know what was going on?
Rat, sinking ship come to mind

Piece in the Times from Matthew Syed the other day absolutely ripping him to shreds. Saying he just had to have a good idea of what was going on.

Indeed, there is no smoke without fire, said the Arsonist to the Firefighters.

General Discussion / FFCW v Exeter city

Last post by Claireffcw - October 03, 2026, 11:44:33 AM

After our cup  action Sunday sees us return to the league and entertain Exeter City at motspur park .
The crecians are a well established & competitive tier 3 side since they won promotion winning the south west division in 23/24 .
Finishes of 4th & 7th has given them good foundations & will be a good test of how far we've come since they knocked us out of the league cup last season winning 4-2.
This season they started off with a 4-0 home defeat to current leaders Oxford before drawing at Hashtag & then beating Lewes 3-1 at home.
A manic 4-4 draw at Cheltenham saw them 3 down by 38 mins but level at halftime. A 96th min strike by Ishbel Zuumond just one of the excellent strikes that day.
Their recent league game saw them go down to a narrow defeat at home to Bournemouth and
Exeter visit currently in 8th place.

Their league cup campaign was also very exciting with two 4-3 victories over Both Bristol clubs & a 3-3 draw with Keynsham seeing them top their group and draw chatham away in the next round .
Top scorer is Ellie Sarah on 6 goals with players Ishbel Zuumond & Amber Pollock also ones to watch out for.
While Ellie Olds is our top scorer not far behind is former Exeter legend Sophie Gillies who no doubt has lots of friends in the visitors line up.
We have 4 wins out of 4 and will be keen to keep our record going. Fulham have scored 12 & let in 2 while exeter have scored 8 & conceded 11.
Both sides favour first half goals with fulham scoring 7 & Exeter 6.
Fulham have yet to concede in the 2nd half while scoring 4 goals after the 76th min .
This all points to an exciting game .
After persuading the club to provide a hot food option for fans a trial is being carried out over the next 3 home games starting sunday so please make use & give us your feedback.

Hey Claire, I'm sure you may already be aware that there's pretty comprehensive information about the old Fulham Ladies in the club's Official Yearbook.

I think the yearbooks finished a good few years back but the 2003/04 version I'm rereading focuses on the men's team but also contains the ladies results, season summary, player profiles & squad photos.

Amazing thank you ill try and find a copy

Some of the Man City fans on
Radio phone in shows and tv broadcasts are so blasé and matter of fact on this issue. Are teams like us just making the numbers up do we need to get the F*ck out of the premier league?

And then what ?

UAE are threatening to pull billions out of Britain if City done!

Which is why government-related persons should never be approved for football club takeovers

I've said many times the European super league should be created for the "big" clubs, we can then crack on with a league in the style of the Championship.
