First time at the cottage!

[CanadianCottager]

Glad to say that I've finally hopped across the pond  000en.gif and I'm finally going to be attending my very first Fulham game. Managed to escape from the people I'm travelling with for the day and I'm making my way down to Stevenage Road today. I'm excited and hope for a good result, I've been slimming down for weeks to fit into this "Medium" sized Johnny Haynes edition golden shirt and I hope all that effort wasn't in vain. I'm saying we'll take it 2-0 over the canaries today, COYW! :scarf:

Have a great day CC.  Enjoy the ride, it may get a bit bumpy if we're not winning by 3 by half-time.

Don't forget the Cottage golden rules, try not to eat or drink in stadium & avoid the 'conveniences' unless absolutely necessary.

hope you really enjoy it as your first game is a very special thing indeed. make sure to buy a programe to remember it by.

Have a great day, the sun is out and we should see a very entertaining game today.

[Matt_Keen]

What a gorgeous day for it! Have a great time and let's hope for the right result!
COYW!!

have a great day. Amazing day you chose. Get to the ground early and make sure you dont rush anything.

[ron]

Quite right. Arrive early and savour every moment of the atmosphere. The first game of the season...and your first ever visit.... optimism unencumbered by any disappointments that may arise later in the season...... is something to remember forever.

did you friends leave you when you said you fancied a day of cottaging?

[Meerkat]

Have a great day and enjoy every moment of it, you chose a good day for your first visit. :scarf:

[CanadianCottager]

Absolutely magnificent, simply couldn't have been better, I will have to return soon! What a lovely day and what a spectacle! Thanks for the tips, now lets hope we can follow this up with a similar performance at Old Trafford ;)

never get a chance to go there

That what the premier league is, when people come from all over the world and happen to catch a game they are blown away by the atmosphere and the passion. You just dont get this anywhere else in the world in other sports. Premier league will just become bigger and bigger over time. I hope you caught the bug today and why so many of us love this club. Great choice you made.

[Jack Fulham]

An ideal first game. Hope you enjoyed it.

An ideal first game. Hope you enjoyed it.

There are a lot more like that coming !

The Premier League has atmosphere and passion that you don't get anywhere else in the world? I know people have perfected the collective groan in England, but really?! The atmosphere wasn't even good yesterday.

Talking about why so many of us love this club and the premier league is an oxymoron if I ever saw one.

[Matt Inglis]

Well your first game was a lot more successful than mine by the looks of things.

[Adam87]

Hello Mr moon,

I read it back and didnt agree the statment myself ha....sounds very arrogant. I guess what im trying to say is that our friends from across the pond dont relaise what an addctive bug it is when you support a team over here and the passion it brings. You do get passion all over the world of course, but i think our league as a whole is something very unique, how many leagues do you get the bottom sides beating the top. Sorry for my statement. You were right. 093.gif

[Mr_Moon]

Happens everywhere. I've seen Osasuna survive on the final day by beating Madrid, I've seen Sporting win at the Bernabeu. Last season both Bayern and Dortmund lost in their first few games to sides who respectively won in the relegation playoff the previous season and a side who were relegated this (11/12) season. Now relegated and 2nd tier side Tom Tomsk beat Zenit last season. Lorient who stayed up by 1 point last season absolutely dominated PSG in the first game this season and then beat Champions Montpellier.

The top four clubs are pretty much the same every season barring financial difficulties/booms. Last season's final day was dramatic because of injury time goals, yet it rarely happens and the end of season drama has always been at the bottom. The Premier League is only unique at the moment for stupid money and great players going to average clubs (for the money).

Poor atmosphere at games, expensive tickets, sitting, predictable league finishes, fans thinking it's the best league in the world because it's Sky Sports' tag line. Yep, sounds fantastic.

[Adam87]

either its amazing propaganda on marketing or a billion people who watch it every week are very silly.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
