    Supposedly it's par for the course and they manage to avoid contravening the 10% rule by having the neutral end in the other half of the Putney Rd stand which will undoubtedly have plenty if not solely Rangers fans who manage to get through Fulham-supporting friends. This wouldn't be such an issue if the neutral stand was fairly priced, but it's £55 and no concessions, which is frankly scandalous. The £49/£33 is a piss-take for the away end anyway for what is a game between two teams likely to finish in the bottom third of the league.

    To cut long story short, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a Watford away mk.II, and frankly I hope it is as I'll be able to view it all from the safety of the away end :p

    The 10%/3000 rule seems to be contravened by many (including us just about?). Wolves' ground re-development means they have a capacity of circa 24000 and we've got 1200.

    It seems odd, I've never been Fulham away but have been to the Cottage on a few occasions, both vs Charlton which was also a London derby, I think there was a lot more than 1600 but that was years ago.

    I'm sure QPR would take 1600 to the Cottage easily so it seems unfair, with us and teams like United they tend to give us the whole end because they know we will just fill it put anyway.

    Shame Fulham has gone the way of so many, would have liked to have done Fulham away this year but oh well, might do QPR away instead depending on whether I go Arsenal or not.
