EFL vs PFA [Link]

I think that Cort isn’t as good as everyone thinks he is

Rob must have been about 12 😅

SW19 Army report from that day [Link]

Spit, I'm sure Olsen played Damien Francis (midfielder) at left back in that game.

My neighbour has a ST in the Riverside Stand with his son. Lifelong Liverpool fan but happy to get his football fix at Fulham. He did tell me how much it was and iirc £2000 for 19 games or someit

I can see us packing out the away end. We will have c 3k without much problem. Fulham fans will be too busy cooking their slow braised octopus with potato salad and anchovy dressing so attendance will probably be about 13k.

Because we played the left back as right-back and rightback as left -back k

Cant see there being a problem with tickets at Fulham as half the ground will be shut so we could have five or six thousand easily

I would have preferred Brentford as a new ground but this is a decent draw. The Fulham v Chelsea match on the Monday won't get moved, so the easiest solution which will affect as few clubs as possible would be to move to the following week and rearrange the Burton Albion game.

Saturday in the pub after the game it was Nottingham Forests he was going to.. so who knows

I read the WHAD tweet as more money oriented than new signing - whether a realistic and positive investment option or a hint at money for Nkeng, or something else I don’t know.

The interview with Mick Buckley suggested we will be hearing something about the investment in the next 2/3 weeks, and that was about a week ago, so in the next 1-2 weeks.

Well one of WHAD x posts yesterday suggest we either got a good signing lined up or investment is close.

Just got to find 2 and a bit Nkengs each season and we’re ticketyboo.

We have a £1m shortfall so any windfalls have to go towards that, otherwise we'll run out of cash before the end of the season and end up in administration.

As ever with these fixtures, anyone who wants a ticket will get one. I'm sure Fulham will give us as many as we need to see their reserves. I doubt it will be too difficult to go in the home end if by some miracle that didn't happen and we sold out our allocation. I've not been to Craven Cottage for 25 years. The last time I was there was towards the end of the 2000-2001 season, when Boa Morte cheated for them to deny us 3 points and end our play off hopes. It only takes about 90 minutes or less to walk from Plough Lane to Craven Cottage as I've done it out of curiosity and it was nice to walk along The Thames.

As just thinking about the sale of nkeng and wondering if his sake is going to fund a particular signing such as a striker like Kanuor do we think it will go toward the bond shortfall ?

Craven Cottage capacity is now 29,600 after the re-developed Riverside Stand added 3,300. So we should get minimum 3,000 seats under EFL cup rules I believe

EFL rules for LC say R2 to played in week commencing Mon 24th August. It is up to clubs to agree a date in that week. If clubs cannot agree, EFL set the date. Date would almost always be Tue or Wed.

Last season Fulham v Bristol C LC2 tix were £20. City were Champ, but we are more local!

They may have the authority but they aren't going to do it. Chelsea v Fulham can't move, the police won't allow it at this point neither will Sky. We will see what is decided but concern about Wigan supporters travel won't be high on the agenda.

The EFL have the authority to tell Chelsea and Fulham to play the matches on the Tue and Wed. Trying to move the Monday night match then becomes Chelsea/Fulham's problem.

Other solution is Chelsea v Luton on Tue and Foolham v us on Wed. Chelsea unlikely not to make 11 changes anyway and Foolham 8+. Cannot see EFL agreeing to move 4 matches to make this work. EPL clubs will have to suck it up!

Cup game though we’ll get more space than that I think.
