Fulham v. Sunderland @ The Cottage!

Hello all!

Seems like several folks are making the pilgrimage to Craven Cottage on April 5. My husband and I are in the process of making plans, ClevelandMo (I believe) has already purchased tickets and dtwondough is also looking into going. Anyone else interested? What arrangements can we make to get together?

American Mike? Hello ?


-Terri :banana:

 

I'm hoping ticket prices can come down a bit. From Denver for that weekend is a bit pricey, but I'll certainly add it to the watch list. Very interested in going though.

 

I'd like to go but we'll see how this school year is plus I'd like to see if there are any deals from Atlanta to London (I'm gonna be checking clarkhoward.com a bunch).

 

To those of you on the fence about going to the 4/5 Sunderland match, just realize that this will either be a very important game or it will be one of your last chances to see FFC play in the EPL for a while.

 

Jacob said he was thinking about going as well...it might be The Dirty Whites +2 at the game that day! How fun would that be? Loads...

 

Mo, do you already have tickets for the game? what about you terri?

 

dtwondough, I dont have tickets yet 'cause they dont go on general sale until a few weeks before the game. Everyone assures me that there will be no problem getting tickets to this match.

 

Right, that's my understanding too. maybe by then, we can all know who's in/out and get tix together.

 

That sounds good. However, I have to do some asking around. I want to sit in a loud section with an English football atmosphere, but we will have our 8 yro and 10 yro boys with us. While some profanity would be okay, I dont want to sit anywhere that could have a constant stream of crude/lewd profanity or vomiting or arguing (something akin to the Dogpound at Browns stadium). Anyway, it might prevent us from sitting near the rest of you, but hopefully not.

 

alright. we can re-visit once they announce the on-sale date. By then hopefully everyone will have trips planned if they can make it. I'm still waiting for prices to drop, I hope.

 

You probably know this, but you should check prices everyday. Sometimes they just drop for a short time. Just as a point of reference, we got tickets for around $700 on Northwest.

 

Sorry for the size of the message but here are some decent fares I've found for Atlantans ($452 or $535/565/595 - add the $30 for the non-Mon.-Wed. departure dates - read below).

Travel only to cities with an * require an aircraft change at London's Gatwick Airport. Trips to all other destinations require an airport change from Gatwick to Heathrow. Typically, BA's schedules provide for enough time in between flights to make the transfer, but the making the airport change is often easier going to your final destination rather than on return flights.

That's awesome!!! Thanks, Chris!

 

I want to go so bad. Even if the math is bad.

 

Too bad the dollar is so weak compared to the pound. If it were not out of my price range I would love to go to England for the first time in my life and have a great excuse to go.

 

That is part of my math equation. 2/$1+cost of staying somewhere+foodbeer/ticket= pain for wallet. :cry:

 

FulhamFC sent me a survey today. They asked if the website should have more contests and I suggested that American Airlines, as an FFC sponsor, offer airline tickets from US to London as a prize. I hope they listen.
