Do you cheer when the opposition score? Nope. Do you clap when an opposition player gets subbed? Nope. Do you boo one of their players when they foul one of ours? Yep. Do you boo the ref when he makes a bad decision? Yep. Do you bait the opposition fans when their player effs up a penalty? Damn right, you do. It's all part of the pantomime for goodness sake.
I can't be doing with clapping the away support, call me old-fashioned but I prefer the good old flicking Vs at the opposition fans and I'm pleased to say that my 12 year old son has now taken to doing this at the opposition fans when they celebrate the inevitable equaliser against us.

I found myself getting caught up with this clapping thing for about the first 3 matches at The Amex, then I realised what I must look like clapping them.
Now they just get a

Good work. Moshe Jnr. (age 7) had fun abusing "fatty" Steve Evans a few weeks ago - we're now working on wanker signs directed at the away end.
Well it's just as well I don't value your opinion. Hope you enjoyed Black Friday! I saw you on the news.

Strange person.
Hello? Is there an echo in here? Must be an empty vessel! Ha ha ha

Just trying to picture the scene when we play Millwall in a couple of weeks.
Tonights attendance is 28,645
with 2,245 away fans, happy clappers get excited and a big round of applause is given to our good friends from South London. Even though they have been giving out abuse all evening.
I can just imagine the Millwall fans reaction to the clapping.
" You fac king soft Nancy boys, fac off you muuuuugs"

Can I enlighten you? I'd say there are a couple of hundred of Fulham fans in B+H - about a hundred of them STH or regular attendees at the Cottage. In the 90s I knew one other, now I've found more fellow Cottagers. Most have family roots in Fulham or Putney or SW London but their ancestors have moved away to Surrey, Berkshire and some in Sussex as Fulham and Putney became gentrified. Most of the Fulham fanbase remains in London or thereabouts. But the bloke in front of me at the Cottage lives in Essex, another lives in Hastings and I was talking to 2 old timers in the Brighthelm pub from Gillingham in Dorset and Southampton. And there are still 'rough' parts of SW London, it's not all rowing on the river and craft beer at the Sloaney Pony....Yes, of course I was! - but only to make a point about where the average FFC fan actually lives.....i.e. Surrey. E/W Sussex, not Wandsworth.
I always clap the attendance overall (as long as it's broadly realistic) then boo the away fans and make the occasional hand gesture. It could be that the clapping of the attendance is still going on when the away numbers are announced.
There are 'rough' parts of SW London - & by rough, I take it you mean 'working class' parts? So you've got my back up before you've even started.....
'Yours' is a middle class football club, in the same way 'ours' is - not completely, but significantly so. My point was illustrative, not literal - in response to some of our posters who crassly assumed that every supporter of a London club lives in London.....i.e. '50 miles away'

Fair point, well made. I thought for some time about typing 'working class' but what does that mean anymore? [Discuss...or not]. Houses in Fulham these days go for £2m - Edwardian terrace houses, I'm talking about. The 'working class' who are still there have probably lived there generations.There are 'rough' parts of SW London - & by rough, I take it you mean 'working class' parts?

Yeah, you're right mate - we won't 'discuss' class, as i'm sure we've both got beds to go to later this evening!
Good luck for the rest of the season!
