FulhamUSA Trip to Craven Cottage 2006/2007

Me! :banana:

 

It is looking more and more like I will not be able to go. I have had to take a few extra days of vacation for my wedding and I do not think I will have much vacation left to go. As much as I want to go, I do not think it is going to happen.

 

Just a quick update, I've been meaning to do one for some time but with the new sponsorship Fulham has from AA, I am looking at some other options.

For those thinking of making the trip, how would you feel about making the trip the first weekend in November?

Would more people be able to make it or have some people already booked that off?? I'll tell you why later...

 

I didn't mean to scare anyone with the thought of changing the weekend but we will leave it for the last weekend in October...unless anyone has any significant reasons otherwise.

Well its just over a month and a week away and I'd like to know who is still thinking of making it. I know there are a few confirmations but now is the time to specificy if you are still thinking of making the trip. I'd like to speak to Fulham again soon about it seeing as they usually make a special effort for us.

Even if there are only a few coming over, it will be worth getting everyone a bit of hospitality. This will include any Americans living in London as well so if you read this and are interested just post below.

I'd like to make sure everyone gets into Mostspur Park for the Middlesex vs. Surrey match, Golden Lion for a bit of pre-match atmosphere, a tour of the Cottage (not on game day), tickets for the match, tickets into one of the Cottage pubs for some post-match drinks and just an overall Fulham weekend.

Any other ideas or suggestions are always appreciated and I will really make every effort to make sure you are looked after.

 

Unfortunately as I have written earlier, I am not going to be able to make it.

 

WHAT A BUZZ KILL. Only kidding Tom, I know you'll be there in spirit but we'll get you here soon enough.

 

FFC Cottage Trip

Ok, let's try this again!

Original plans -- check (October 28 match).
Motspur Park -- nope, some of us like to sleep in.
Golden Lion -- sounds good!
Tour of the grounds -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Match -- sounds good.
Post-match Cottage bar -- will do !!
Got plenty of Black and White gear, so Thunderbirds are go!!!

Now, I hope that my Metsies can actually be in the World Series and finish it up in four. That way, I don't have to bug anyone whilst over there.

Note to American Mike: See! I can write without using foul language!!

:3d smile:

 

Re: FFC Cottage Trip

The Middlesex Vs. Surrey Fulham supporters match is now a charity game for the Fulham Community Trust and kick off is at 11:30am sharp (not too early Rudy!). After which we'll get on a train with a few beers and head into SW6.

Thanks for the update Heather, I advise those who are thinking of making the trip in, to either start really thinking about it and contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I'll be more than happy to give you a hand with arrangements.

Hey guys, I know it's late but I am interested in taking this trip... I know none of you... but hey, we all like Fulham, what the hell's the difference.

American Mike, you've got mail.

 

RE: Re: FFC Cottage Trip

As much as I'd love to go, I'm afraid I can't make it this time. I hope to in the future , however, The wife and I are hoping to travel to the UK next July if it works out. I know there won't be any matches going on but we (I) definately want to see the Cottage and the surrounding area as well as visit the club shop.

Someday I'll meet up with you all and take in a match at Craven Cottage. In the meantime, enjoy your trip and keep us all updated!

 

RE: Re: FFC Cottage Trip

Yeah, I'm buggered too. Just spent 10 days in Dublin and can't get the time off. Shame, the idea of watching Rudy enamour himself with the local natives after a few ales would be almost as much fun as the game itself.

 

RE: Re: FFC Cottage Trip

Time and Money are going to take MrsJux and I out of this trip. Maybe we'll be able to head over in the spring if we can get our ducks in a row.

Re: RE: Re: FFC Cottage Trip

I'll record it for you Glen.

 

RE: Re: RE: Re: FFC Cottage Trip

We really don't have that many fans coming over for this match in particular, but I'll be honest and say I have bought 10 tickets already for Americans making it over for the Everton match.

I'll see what FFC says about doing something on either weekend and for those making it to the Wigan game, we'll try and get something special done.
