Will Fulham be another sellout

[BrightonCottager]

...and there are 700 London based Fulham fans here



Is it PotG?

Do you mean Brighton-based Fulham fans? If so, I think not. There are probably 100 in Brighton, Hove, Lewes, Steyning area.
Latest I've seen on the ticket allocation is that Fulham only have 2300 tickets with no possibility of extra, initially only took 1700 but had to request more.

That would be in keeping with what's currently being offered to home fans on the ticketing website.

Looks like Fulham have S1A to S1E inclusive. I'm guessing the sterile area will be the 5 rows in S1F as per the last 2 matches and a similar amount in E1H.

If this is correct, it does mean there are some more seats in the southern half of E1H that could be made available for Albion fans

Originally Saturday when fixtures were released, but moved very early on

So Saturday on the original list with unconfirmed dates, but Friday on the confirmed date list ?

Or moved after the confirmed date was published ?

Back to Fulham, Scott Parker is suspended for Saturday. He hasn't been starting but is a useful old head coming off the bench.

Shame. Parker is slow in body and mind. Would rather he played.

Apparently he changed the game when he came on Saturday, gave them more energy and purpose and ultimately they nicked a point. He also got booked, hence the ban.

Annoyingly I can't make it. Real shame as it's one of a dwindling number of 3pm kick offs.

Currently available online:-

North = 10
South = 176
WSL = 85
WSU = 62
ESL = 112
ESU = 65

520 plus 75 in the 1901 area.

I think these will sell out and there will be more home fans at the Amex on Saturday than there was for either Norwich or Villa

If you subtract form the 520 the circa 375 extra we are flogging in E1H I would think we have actually sold more than with 4 days to go until the Villa game,

I like Parker. He can calm things down a bit but the way we play this season can slow us down. Should be a better game than last season (ahem....not difficult for me)

OUT OF INTEREST, WHERE DO YOU DO YOUR COTTAGING IN BRIGHTON

This from the Friends of Fulham forum: Somehow, we've now had the allocation increased to 2,600, out of which 2,300 have gone. Maybe they've opened up that corner in the right like Villa had the other night....

My favourite cottages are those selling ale.

If correct, that is very good news - would guarantee another massive Amex crowd.

The effect of the train shambles on non-STH Albion fans should not be underestimated. I know at least two families who went to the Villa match who will think twice about when to make their next visit.

They aren't the most hardcore travellers and a lot will have bad memories from last season...I reckon they'll bring 1,500, which is well worth a Boooooo! when Richie bigs them up.

Thats a bit harsh, sold 3100 two seasons ago plus a few well behaved Fulham sitting on their hands in home areas. At the time that was the largest league following at the Amex.
Also bought nearly 2500 on a filthy friday night to watch a piss poor side last season.
We'll have a 2600 sell out there Saturday & would've probably had more if Fulham hadn't made buying away tickets such a convoluted process.
Cant wait for Saturday, Brighton is a brilliant away day & we're a lot better this season and reckon we're well capable of getting a decent result

You will have the corner in that case, which is S1A and S1B. The 400 you are short on what Villa had will be why we are able to keep E1H for ourselves. good effort.

Fair enough, glad to be proved wrong. Enjoy the trip, if not the result.

How does the 'neutral' area work at the Cottage? I suspect the away tickets will be like gold dust on 2nd January, despite the expected train strike.

So just the three nil this year?

Sat in there last season no tickets available on our website so booked them through fulhams site , no problem , was a 60/40 mix of Brighton and Fulham fans and no trouble at all just people wanting a good day out .

Its an improvement. To be fair I think 5-0 slightly flattered Brighton last year. First 25 mins Fulham passed you off the park but our calamitous defending once again come to the fore.
Brighton a really good side and haven't had the hangover from last season that many were predicting but I'll be disappointed if we dont run you close Saturday.

Neutral area has been a massive success, lot of Fulham fans hate it but its basically a glorified away end and a good way of getting bums on seats. Theres a few season ticket holders in P1 the block nearest the Cottage, not sure why you'd want to sit surrounded by away fans but hey ho .
Brighton will get 3990 tickets max & whatever's available to your right. Generally its occasional Fulham fans and away fans. Never ever seen any trouble in there at all. You generally can just ring and book on the phone.
Fulham cut out the middle man & done away with it giving Brentford 6k & 5k for the last two seasons which really wound a lot of us up. Brentford still haven't stopped talking about it

God and reasonable posts from yourself. I have always enjoyed matches with Fulham and travel up there as well. have a safe journey, but if you are coming by train, allow plenty of time . . .
