Well, I can understand the need for good PR.

The Fulham Pier was one of the main selling points to get planning permission for the new stand, so when it's not available to local residents/visitors to use, it's important to keep them informed and onside.

I must be missing something?

This is such an overreaction to perfectly normal PR language

The club owns the pier by the way. It's not a separate entity owned by the Khans.

I'll take "people looking for anything to complain about for 500, Alex"

I think she needs to delete her tweet.

This is a fuss about absolutely nothing, hoping for some internet points after the 'local club' thing recently.

[jayffc]

As if you reposted this saying it's an absolute disgrace and got the same pushback as the tweet, universally 😅

Some people must just be sat waiting for any reason to be angry at the club.

[rusty shackleford]

People just love crying about anything now

[KJS]

It's closed during match days so what!! How else can the club  meet security regulations, some local idiot ageing too thick to realise it and goes on X to show their ignorance 🙄

Fulham Pier is owned by the Khan's, however, outside of Matchdays, it is outsourced to a separate company, which makes sense in a lot of ways, as it doesn't take up the clubs full resources.

Bottom line is, Fulham Pier is now a 24 hour cash machine, earning revenues around the clock, which the Club didn't have access to before.

There have, however, been a couple of 'clumsy' quotes from Fulham Pier lately, which they can do better at in our opinion.

Anyone from the area who uses Fulham Pier will know that Fulham are at home once a fortnight, or maybe once a week depending on how the fixtures work out.

Terms like 'that local football team' or 'sorry for any inconvenience caused' should be worded a lot better by Fulham Pier, as it will only get fans backs up.

I'd hazard a guess most understand it's it's own business that benefits us, and won't really care about such things tbh. Long as it makes money for the club I really don't care if they call Fulham the local club in their communications. They want to appeal to masses visiting on non matchdays and audiences beyond clued up football fans and that's fine by me if their focus is on wanting it to be advertised as a nice venue to visit in its own right aswell.

Either way money is made.

Sure I can see how it wouldn't hurt for them to consider how they communicate such things and be ultra sensitive to Fulham fans, but you'll always get a few wound up over little and will be vocal online making it seem a bigger issue than it is Tbh. Just my 2 cents.

Can anyone tell me how busy it gets in the day at weekend or weekday? It's not exactly a high footfall area

Saying that our club playing a game at our home ground which we have been doing since 1896 is a inconvenience is a disgrace just shows the contempt they hold the club in and as a fan totally 🤬 me off . You obviously aren't looking at the big picture

From fans that have visited outside of Matchdays, they've said it is a very busy venue, with people walking to and from all day.

They aren't saying we "Fulham football club ARE AN inconvencience"

They didnt say Fulham playing at home is an inconvenience in itself (tho guess what, to some people who don't like football who live locally, it might well be inconvenient...so?...who cares,oh well,no one died by being inconveniences by it,  it doesn't matter does it?)

What they said is sorry "for any inconvenience caused" by not being able to access the pier, or it's walkway on that day.*

There is a subtle but important difference.

Its not that deep, you're getting riled up  because of a preconceived notion and a predisposition to see the worst in the club and it's owners.

Genuinely Hope you're ok man cos this isn't some attack on you or the club or whatever this feels like to you. Its a business that appeals to people beyond football, that benefits fulham financially, saying a simple sorry to the wider public that they wont be able to access their business and it's walkway on a certain day. 🤷 Big whoop

A family member was there recently midweek and said it was completely deserted, was bad weather mind so can't say how it fares beyond that.

I do understand why people were annoyed by the 'local football team', that was terrible phrasing, but I really can't see anything wrong with the above, it's simply a turn of phrase for if people wanted to go there who can't. Really not that much to it, it's like how sometimes I say sorry if getting in someone's way when walking in opposite directions.

Living in Ellerby street I can say during the week it's isn't that busy, but weekends it can be, same as any business it has its ups and downs.

It's a local pier for local people.....for all you League of Gentlemeners
