    Bought tickets in the mixed area for the away game on February 1st. Anyone else here do likewise. Haven't been to an away so wasn't going to risk waiting for Saints allocation as I reckoned they would be snapped up pretty quickly. Atmosphere still pretty good in that area. Deliberately got seats next to away end

    Forgive my ignorance, I've never heard of the mixed zone? How do they work that then, if it is as it sounds?

    The Putney End is the southernmost stand in the ground, nearest to Putney and backing onto Bishops Park. This generally hosts visiting and 'neutral' supporters,[98] though often this is mixed with home and away fans. When the ground became redeveloped, with the standing terraces replaced in 2003-4 the club applied for a licence to have a designated neutral area, in the rows closest to the Cottage, (nicknamed 'Little Switzerland'.[101]) Due to Fulham's history of having no segregation in the Putney End and no history of crowd trouble, the FA gave the club special dispensation to allow for this, making Fulham the only club currently in the UK to have such an area

    The fact that a load of fans have brought tickets in the neutral area it will make it easier to get a ticket for the away end.

    Might try to flog my Neutral ticket to one of my London based friend if that's the case and get an away end one!Sections 4 and 3 are sold out in mixed area just 2 and 1 left. Think we sold out our allocation last year AFAIK

    Are there any exceptions to that rule?
