That stand is a very strange place.
Possibly the most bizarre stand in football. A couple of your mates plus my son losing it with a group of people who were probably on a corporate jolly was making me giggle. My favourites were the bloke who looked like Jesus who couldn't do a wanker sign without leaning over and the five Indian blokes in brand new half and half scarves who sauntered out of hospitality on 60 minutes and held up a giant "Come on Fulham" clacker. If that's football I'm a purple wombat.

I recall an away game at Gillingham when the bloke who scored their goal, when subbed off, was giving us the real big one for some obscure and random reason. Insignificant guy so forgot his name. Was the game when Murray missed a pen very late. Was a draw.

A fan running the length of the pitch and a bottle thrown at a player should be taken souriously by the FA. Big fine a minimum. From what I could see, no security went after the bottle thrower at all. Incidents like that bring about a complete ban on bottles in the stands.
We didn’t get searched going into the ground. I took in a 750ml bottle of water with the lid still on.

Just get Fulham to play their next home game behind closed doors.

I assume that Fulham will look at the CCTV and the bottle thrower can expect a knock on his door today from The Police.

I wondered if it was possibly because of the delay letting us into the stadium because of the late arrival of the team coaches.
I walked straight in around 6:45. Each gate had someone checking the ticket was correct for the entrance, not a name check, and inside was a police dog. There were no security personal, bag check desks or 'wands' to be seen. Too wet me thinks.

When we went in - as the gates opened - they were sending anyone with a bag down to gate 17. I went in gate 1 and someone was sent from there to 17 and wasn't too happy :oops:

I recall a Leyton Orient player at their place (can’t remember If sub, was subbed or actual player) started on one of our fans after something was said from the stand.

Now there's the point.......the police dog chasing the interloper would have been worth the away ticket !
