Hi everyone!
My name is James and your website was mentioned on TV on our local television station during discussion about the USMNT and me always being a Fulham fan at heart, I had to go and check it out for myself.

Its good to find a nice haven for Fulham fans on this side of the pond!

I am originally from South Dakota but now live right outside Monterey, California where it is now about 6:30am! I am in the army and have followed FFC religiously since 2004.

To be honest, the one thing that finally brought me to be a Fulham fan was Gentleman Jim and his commentary. He is one of our own and gives one of the most unique, entertaining commentary's I've ever heard.

RE:

James, welcome to FulhamUSA! Tell us more about the site being mentioned on TV. How was the site brought up and what exactly was said? That is great news!

Cheers!
Tom

 

RE:

The TV station did a piece on McBride, how he was the face of the US team in '02 but now that Nike had bought alot of influence in the team, it seems the younger, better looking players unjustly took presidence in commercials and other advertising.

Anywho, at the end one of the reporters said to find more info on McBride and Fulham you can go to...and they listed a few websites which included this one, then the reported said that FulhamUSA was a solid website for anyone wanting to be part of a growing community of Stateside Fulham fans. Great PR for the site.

 

RE:

What station was it? Do you have a website or do you know the name of the guy who mentioned us? I would like to send him a thank you email.

Cheers and thanks for the good news!
Tom

 

Re: RE:

Nope not aware of it but I'm sure we'll all take the free advertising. Funny enough, I went on a rant last week about how only the Nike sponsored US players got interviews on ESPN and were featured in commercials.

McBride was left out of all PR, yet, in my opinion, he is the most respected player on the team. Thats even before the Italian gave him another scar to talk about.

Welcome Boasboy and glad to see you made it over and many of us related with Gentleman Jim in the early days. He's even been described as "An idiot, but our idiot!". COYW's

As some people say, "cool beans".

Mike and Tom, you may want to consider, if you have not already, making sure your state and federal registrations for business and trademarks are current. You never know how popular your ideas may yet become, but I'd say you are off to a helluva start!

 

RE: Re: RE:

I'll see what I can dig up for you Tom. I mean, it was quick mention and then a short discussion but I'll see what I can do.

Wasn't the web site on Fox Football Friday once as well?? When I mentioned it to my EPL mad friend back home, he said that you guys got on there once also.

Its a great site and a great community from what I've seen, good discussions (even about Toms Honda!)

 

RE: Re: RE:

Yes, we were mentioned on Fox Football Friday one time. Any contact info you might be able to dig up would be great!

Glad to read you are enjoying the site!

Cheers!
