While shaking the doors of the tube in the Bozney Bridge, the cry of “Eaaaaagles” is frequented down on the platform.
It is only 10 am, but the mood has a loud anticipation of what could wait for us. By 2 pm, these people can be an unforgettable experience.
Two young couples remembered that there was a football match in the waiting list below the stairs to the station’s approach moving at a crawling pace.
There are more lists outside on the café river in exchange for the station’s exit while people are waiting for iced Lattes and Karasan. Fulham is very.
Tout tries to sell three matches tickets to sit at the end of Hammersmith for 270 pounds ($ 350). The gambler tries to run and lose his nerves: “I just told you, no bids!”
This is to a large extent a more angry scene that will be witnessed today (unlike the fans of the house who wandered in defending Calvin Passi).
This is Fulham, after all, the most beautiful club in the Premier League and a favorite day for thousands of football fans throughout the country.
Why? Well, for the beginning, I got the nearby surrounding areas. If your way to Craven Cottage is from the Butneyy Bridge station, then move to the Thames River on the morning of a sunny spring and transfer yourself to a quiet place and medicine.

People sit on seats eating sandwiches, or do a crossword in a newspaper. Even children who wander from Corona bottles are not harmful. You don’t get this in Millwall.
Then it wanders in the garden of the green bishops, with a mixture of families, small dogs and hostility, and many contestants.
There is Funfair in the middle, watching the Fulham fan with the head of the insect and science of Jack Union striking about his shoulders (yes, this man is present) while moving in the cones placed for children who always wear skiing is a completely image.
Crystal Palace fans are spread around, and their red and blue colors are wear proudly. The chances of accusations of their shirt sport, which will be a problem in dozens of foundations in the Premier League, and the least here.
Something for everyone in Fulham (Tim Spears/Athlete))
They talk about the desire to launch the late Weepley at the end of the week. Assuming, but in the end fair.
They also talk about this perfect day away. “Fulham is far away in my list for this season,” fans tell Paas Dan Athlete.
“It is a friendly, walking to the stadium is beautiful, and they have a play -friendly bars, and it is a great floor on the Thames.
“They may be the most fans’ more club. Well, they have been very useful in the past few years anyway because we won each other.”
Until somewhat recently, Fulham was so absorbed that they had even a neutral position where fans at home and the bid could sit freely next to each other, a concept that he had not heard in English football.
It is an idea in line with the circumference of the middle class: the quiet streets and homes worth millions of pounds and training on the boat race at Oxford-Gamperbridge University, which will pass here within two weeks. There was (at least) a famous actor in the match on Saturday, when HGH Grant photographed Fulham fans while providing his support.

For most of the club’s history, Fulham did not bother English football makers.
From 1970 to 2001, they were not presented at the top of the trip. A 14 -year period of time was followed in the upper section under the ownership of the former Malik Harrods who died now and the referee of Mohammed Al -Fayed, who sold the club to the martyr Khan.
During the era of Khan and his son, Tony, a vice president and director of football operations, Fulham is not heading not to become a firm club again after a period of recovery between the first sections, but also until he is a club, for example, where people are asked to pay high prices not only to watch a football match, but to enjoy the Deluxe experience in a location of nothing “, in another location.”
Riverside’s position is of 120 million pounds, which belongs to the Thames and is opened on stage. Upon completion, you will provide a restaurant sponsored by Michelin star chefs, upscale bars (including one on the surface), seats and bar behind the baked, as well as a private swimming pool. There are plans to make a option to travel there by boat.
“There are no two similar visits at all”, “Fulham Kind in the cases of Riverid.” One thing, however, is fixed; Exceptional service all the time. “
Obviously, this does not come cheap. Only to sit at Riverside Stand in the upcoming Fulham match at home against Liverpool will cost 150 pounds. The tickets for the season reaches a level of 3000 pounds, which is the most expensive ticket that is not formed in the Premier League.
The season’s tickets can still be in the field to reach 1024 pounds, while the regular match tickets in the Premier League range again for Liverpool, from 66 pounds to 106 pounds, with a large number of seats of 35 pounds on both sides of the position of Johnny Haynes.
The exorbitant fees for Premier League tickets are increasingly common, especially in London, where Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur and Sest Ham United will impose similar prices on match day tickets.
It is many of the stomach fans and tried to hear their voice, with protests in 2023 and again recently in Manchester United Away in the FA Cup, and she is a co -mastery of home supporters after they were directed to at least 52 pounds for a seat. In the Premier League matches, there is a 30 -pound hat on tickets in all clubs.

“There is definitely a feeling of a feeling of fluorine by the club,” says Fulham Liam. Athlete.
“I have friends who cannot afford to come, but the club is moving in a different direction. Fulham used to be open to everyone, the home and fans away, but it has become more exclusive.”
Alcestir McCain’s CEO recently defended the high price, Saying: “When I first spoke to the Disabled Fulham supporters Association, they gave me some advice – that Fulham is the type of club that could have a business degree or first degree and they have fans returning to the left on a plane.
They told me, this is for some people, but the rest of us want a distinctive experience elsewhere.
“They may want to get this experience for the individual game, then they may want to return to their seats.
“I feel that the pricing extension means that there is something for everyone in Craven Cottage.
“But interest in high -end prices because it is interesting to report the lower end, but our game was sold against a villa.”
Fulham is a club in his rise, where he is fighting for football in the Champions League this season under Marco Silva.
On Saturday-which begins with one of the most hearing atmosphere in Craven Cottage for some time for the largest match in this season, the quarter-finals of the FA Cup against Palace- is the task of converting Fulham into a club that offers a sophisticated experience on the field. You can not really present one without the other. Just ask Queens Park Rangers.
A comprehensive loss 3-0 put the Fulham season on the edge of a knife. Outside the cup, can they now reach Europe for the fourth time in their history?
This boutique ticket sales may depend.
