    Just wanted to say hi before I start posting on other threads... :D

    I've supported Fulham for few years now, probably since 2003 and I've known about this board for a while now, but never been an active member... :) I used to own an Icelandic Fulham fan site, but there were only 4 members on it, and one was my sister being supportive, so I decided to give up and start posting on foreign sites instead :lol:

    And yeah, like you've probably realised: I'm from Iceland :wink:

    No, but I once sat next to a nice lady on a cross-country flight (who was traveling to a wedding) from your hometown, it was quite interesting to hear about your country.

    Welcome Maria! How did you come to be a Fulham supporter in Iceland? Did it have to do with Heidar Helguson or was it before he joined the club?

    Regardless, welcome! It is always nice to have another fellow Fulham supporter on board.

    Well...I used to support Man U but that was only because of my dad, who is a Man U fan. When I started watching the premierleague for real, Fulham had just come up from the championsleague, and I just liked the team from the start of the season, and then I started loving it as the season went on... :D

    Of course, Heiðar's arrival didnt hurt :wink: :D

    Velkomin Maria! Glad to hear you've joined us. One of about three, huh? I guess that makes being a Fulham fan in the US seem a lot easier.

    Welcome Maria
    Are you a fan of Sigur Ros. I love them. Great stuff. I recently bought a documentary of them touring Iceland. Seems like an absolutely beautiful country.

    Hi MariaK, it's the best fan community ever so you will LOVE it!
    So cool to have a representative from the Knattspyrnumsamband Island Federation on the FUSA site.

    I absoluetly love Sigur Rós, one of my favorite bands ;)

    I went to 3 conserts they had on the documentary of them touring Iceland ('Heima' = home) :D My friend and I were pretty lucky, it wasnt planned or anything, we were just in the right towns at the right moment :D The country really is beatiful, I'm very proud of it :roll:

    And thanks everyone for a very warm welcome to the site... :D

    That is amazing! Which shows were you at? I will have to look for you in Heima. I've seen them twice in DC. They are great live. Their shows are almost church like. New album out this summer and tour (although not DC). Everyone should check out Sigur Ros!

    Welcome to the site, Maria Karlsdottir!
    {how close did I come? 8) }

    Since you used to have your own site.. why not make this yours?

    Write up something on what it's like to be 'one of about three' and send it to me.

    fulhamusagroup {at} gmail.com

    We'll put it up on Page2. Note that you reach a LOT of Fulham fans doing that because all Page2 Articles start on the front page of the site.. thus get on NewsNow.

    You didnt really come too close, but a nice try anyway...its María ___dóttir :)

    And I'll think about it, but I'm really not too confident when writing in english...but maybe I will someday when I have enough time

    Edited by pf: Reykjavík is a relatively small place
