    Certainly not bad but a bit underwhelming. I would say though that one of the best atmospheres in recent times was the Portsmouth play off semi and there was only 26k for that.

    I'd imagine Fulham will be bringing about 10% of our following ....

    Was hoping not to have to say this but getting p*ssed off with a few people going on and on about the attendance and how low it is likely to be.

    My wife has been in hospital yesterday and today continuing with her cancer treatment. If that isnt a good enough fkn reason for not attending tomorrow I dont know wtf is.
    Not after any sympathy here just want some people to shut the fk up. I am sure other fans (I am a season tkt holder) have their reasons as well.

    I'm 180 miles away and down for Reading and Bristol. As it's live on BBC tomorrow it's free and I won't have to move ...

    ... I've set up my train set up so it does a circuit from the fridge to my seat via the snacks :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Catch a flight quick mate watch it live, there's only 29445 tickets sold that's if Fulham sell all their 500.

    How many is a good crowd for you? There’ll be somewhere around the 28000 mark.

    Just out of interest how far do you live from the ground?

    Night matches aren't easy as there's work or school to consider ...

    ... travelling companions aren't always available and train issues after a night game can be seriously bad news.

    Our support is second to none, always has been, now that we have an owner to match, and a team that is a joy to watch, long may it continue.

    If it’s that high then fair enough. Looking on the ticket website the ground looks half empty.

    2 hours. I’m not knocking the support as I said our support is great but there’s plenty examples of cup games where our attendances have been poor. Not a knock on anyone not going at all

    I think part of the problem is that you can usually plan league games well in advance. Depending on what your work situation is it's sometimes a struggle. When we travelled regularly from Nottingham we'd have to leave at 4pm so needed an early finish or a half day.

    I used up quite a few grans and aunties over the years 'going to funerals' ...

    ... I stopped telling new employers who I supported cos they'd eventually suss things out <laugh>
