    Hi all, it is time for our sixth annual fundraising drive to cover the hosting costs FulhamUSA.com. Every year I'm so thankful for your support to keep things going. I was hoping that I'd have the site moved to the new host by now, but that is taking longer than expected although progress is being made. I'm keeping the cost for a one month sponsorship the same at $14 since that should cover the costs once I get this to the new host.

    Here are the months for 2024-25, to sponsor a month just post what you want to cover in the comments and I'll add your name in. Once you claim a month I'll private message you to work out the payment details - either paper check or Venmo will work.

    August - @SoCalJoe
    September - @MicahMan
    October - @SoCalJoe
    November - @sacffc
    December - @MicahMan
    January - @astroevan
    February - @astroevan
    March - @nevzter
    April - @stlouisbrad
    May - @stlouisbrad
    June - @sacffc
    July - @nevzter
    Annual Domain Fee of $18 - @rjmPA

    And again, thank you for the support!

    Thank you so much @sacffc and @nevzter !!

    If anyone is sad they missed out on a month, the yearly domain name fee is still available (a previous version of the post had erroneously described it as a "hosting" fee).

    Thanks all for your support and making this so easy!!

    I am brand new to the site (and a brand new Fulham supporter), but I'll take the yearly domain name fee if you still need that.

    I have long been impressed with top flight football/soccer, having watched the World Cup for years. I'm not a fan of the NFL and thought I'd find a Premier League team to support. I was initially drawn to Arsenal. I liked their history and the cannon insignia. I spent some time on the original M1 tank a number of years ago, which had an American copy of the British L7 cannon. But when I realized just how good and how popular Arsenal was, I didn't want to be a band wagon fan, so I continued my research.

    I liked Fulham's history in general and their history with American players in particular. I also liked that they were a smaller club with a more limited budget than the big 6 clubs in the Premier League. When they do well, they really earn it! I am from Pennsylvania and a long suffering Pirates fan (though I'm old enough to remember when they were really good), and I saw some similarities with Fulham. I suspect I will experience some similar excitement and heart ache with the Cottagers. I experienced a little of that today during my first match as a Fulham supporter.

    So here I am and I'm looking forward to enjoying Fulham football with other fans here in the States.

    Glad to have you here @rjmPA ! As Fulham fans we've experienced far more highs and lows than most clubs over the past few years, so they always manage to keep it interesting!

    I'm also in PA, but over in the Lancaster area. And you are right, your background as a Pirates fan has given you the right perspective for being a Fulham fan! When success does come for our teams it is all the sweeter and more appreciated.

    @MicahMan I'm actually a little north of you. I'm originally from Pittsburgh, but now live in Danville.

    @rjmPA you'll appreciate this. I grew up in Columbus Ohio and back in the 60's the Pirates had their AAA franchise there -- the Columbus Jets. There was one year where many of the members of the greatest Pirates team -- Dock Ellis, Manny Sanguillen, Bob Robertson, etc. played for the Jets. They won the International league by 28 games over the second place team. Then they moved to Pittsburgh, joined Willie Stargell, and had a dynasty.
