Hi all. I'm looking to buy tickets in your away end for our game in a few weeks but might end up having to buy in the neutral area. Is it segregated from the away end? I'm not one to wear a replica shirt but are the stewards ok with not being particularly neutral? Cheers
The neutral area is designed for supporters of both clubs. You'll be able to sit there and react naturally to whatever happens without threat of being ejected. I took a Villa supporting friend with me to our opening game of the season, and there was no problem whatsoever with him cheering when Bent scored, or with me laughing at him when it was ruled out for offside. You've probably worked this out already, but the closer you get seats to the official away section (and therefore the further away from the Cottage itself), the more likely you are to be sat in or around a cluster of away fans; the closer you are to the Cottage, the more likely you are to be in a predominantly Fulham patch of fans. Hope you enjoy the game and go home empty handed!
