    I'm going alone. Sadly my wife isn't a fan and my kids would hinder staying out late.

    Welcome to the site Justin. I am sure there will be some plans in the works once the game becomes official. I really hope Fulham are not planning just one game in the US, but it wouldn't shock me if that's the case. Shad seems to want do something special for Jacksonville, just have to wait and see.

    Looks like the date is official. July 26th vs. DC United

    and the view from the other side of the pond too:

    Hopefully DC United will be playing a team in the BPL!

    That happens to be the day my wife returns home after being away for 5 weeks due to work. She said that if I give up seeing Fulham to welcome her home that she'd make sure we try to catch a match at Craven Cottage when we go to London sometime in 2015. I suppose that's a fair trade.

    We've found flights for 325 each return from Nashville - ready to book this weekend.

    Yes Heather, I recall the All Stars weekend, especially the bar we had for the match evening - and the hotel was fantastic. Fancy organizing for this year? I'll give all the help I can in making it happen.

    Well, a quick search leads me to believe that Jacksonville may be one of the least accessible cities in the country from Los Angeles. OK, I may be exaggerating a bit, but not much. Fingers crossed I can find a reasonable fare.

    Have to see how it looks how it fits in the budget, but hoping to make it down. Flights to seem reasonable from Boston.

    tim,

    Look at flights to Orlando / Sandford, just 2 hours south of Jacksonville, so within striking distance, but are 'holiday' destinations, so the budget airlines use them.

    Tim, I've always been happiest flying to Jacksonville on Southwest (I'm usually taking a straight shot from BWI to JAX). If you are going from LA, that's about $500 round-trip non-refundable.

    The wife let slip that this trip will be my birthday gift, so chalk another one down for the FUSA meet up.

    I really wish I could go, but I have a lot on my plate atm. This just might be a last second decision.

    Looks like tickets could be complicated with the friendly being the first of 3 events. The friendly, a video board unveil and a Carrie underwood concert. All free to jag season ticket holders.

    Yes, I have a bad feeling about July 26th. I really hope this isn't a huge letdown for traveling Fulham supporters.

    I just hope beyond reason that they think of us. If not my optimism of Khan being the owner might just evaporate. I understand why its happening, garnering interest for the Jags and Fulham at the same time. I would hate to see some mildly curious jags fans front and center while the Fulham supporters who paid to be there are stuck in the nosebleeds. This could be a real positive or a real sore eye.

    As I posted on the FB post I will be unable to attend but wish I could. Maybe I will luck out and they will also play the Revolution up this way.
