Fulham FC have been at Craven Cottage (except for that unavoidable
two-year sojourn at Loftus Road) for over 100 years. How long have
you been in the area? I think they have as much right as anyone to be
in SW6. Moving away from their spiritual home would be the death of
the club.

Look at Reading as an example of what *can* be done if the willpower and
money is there. Elm Park was a small, scruffy, crowded ground in a
tightly
packed residential part of town - a PITA for both fans and local
residents.
The move (5 miles?) across town to the Madjeski gave the club a modern,
usable stadium with plenty of car parking and easy access to the M4. The
club is now flourishing in it's new home - whats not to like about that?


Well, I travel to games via public transport, and in that regard the
Madjeski is a ****ing nightmare.

The cab fare from station to ground is one of the most expensive in the
division, while getting back to the station requires a long wait to go on
some ****y bus, 'cause no cab driver will come and pick you up.
