How come Craven Cottage is so popular for friendly's

[Fernhurst]

Nigeria v Scotland already this week and tonight The Azzuirri face off against The Republic of Ireland.

Are we cheap?

[God The Mechanic]

Extra revenue, small enough to sell out a mostly neutral crowd, nice setting and in London.

 How come you can't spell or punctuate properly? :026:

I don't understand why Italy can't host their own game?

[BigbadBillyMcKinley]

Cheap but a top quality pitch in the centre of london. Plus, its the greateat stadium in London....including Wembley!

I would guess that it is because we are in London with large communities from the competing nations, that we have an attractive but modest sized ground so that fans are near the pitch and that doesn't feel empty with the expected size of the crowds and where it is reasonably easy to separate and control the fans.

Also, we are cheap.  :021:

cos its amazing...

[Lighthouse]

Well neither penalty area has been worn during the season. Fulham never went into it and the opposition used to shoot and have those shots deflected into the goal. So really the pitch is in such good nick.

Because it's the home of football  082.gif

[David Allen Crankshaw]

One of the best places in London.

[Nero]

cos there been that much crap played on it this year the grass is lush

[grandad]

Everyone wants to play at the home of London´s oldest club.

..possibly for the proximity to the Golden Lion, where one can engage in a post-match discourse on the arts and literature in a stimulating atmosphere.....?

friendly's  ?

Anyway, surely FFC get some revenue out of it, so having  int friendlies as a source of income is good as it allows FFC to get extra revenue without exploiting fans, theyre merely maximising use of the stadium as it surely can't be used as a concert venue or something like that.
