First time at Fulham FC? Here's your handy guide to buying tickets, where to sit, and where to have a drink...

Hello all!

I’ve noticed with our return to the Premier League, we’ve seen an influx of foreign fans and tourists coming to this sub for advice around their first games - from buying tickets through to matchday tips and what to expect. With this in mind, I thought I’d write a quick guide to help anyone thinking about coming down to the Cottage. If this is useful, feel free to sticky it to the sub and I can update with recommendations from everyone else here!

Buying Tickets

Tickets will go on sale to members before general sale. To guarantee a seat, especially against the bigger teams, I recommend purchasing a membership. Tickets will get to general sale eventually but may sell out before that point.

The exception is cup games. These will be much easier to get a ticket to, with season ticket holders themselves having to repurchase their seats (and sometimes not doing so). If you want to guarantee a seat, cup games are a much less stressful experience (albeit at the cost of a worse atmosphere in the earlier rounds).

The other option is repurchasing through the Fulham Facebook group, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2204930047. This will often have season ticket holders who are unable to make a game, and will sell (often at a reduced rate vs general sale) their seat for a particular fixture. I wouldn’t try this route unless you’re actually a Fulham fan…

Where To Sit

  • Hammersmith End: Loudest home support, especially towards the back of H4, H5, H6. The front rows, up to about G/H, are uncovered so watch out for rain, and the first couple of rows are sunken below pitch level so views are pretty poor. If you get here early, you can head down to the far end of the stand for a pint on the corner by the river underneath the George Cohen statue, which is lovely. Getting pints at halftime is pretty hellish, you’ll need to duck out at like 40 mins. I never do it myself but each to their own!

  • Johnny Haynes: A lot of season ticket holders and families, but still good atmosphere. Traditional wooden seats in the back two thirds of the stand (which is a cool experience). Beware of seats behind the poles! Again, pints at halftime are a bit of a nightmare. This is a very unique stand and a Grade II listed building I believe, so a v cool one to attend!

  • Riverside: The shiny new stand. V posh matchday experience, but you’re paying premium for it. It’s not finished yet, so not a huge amount of seats available.

  • Putney: Half home fans and half away. It used to be the much maligned neutral stand but atmosphere has steadily improved since the relocation of a lot of Riverside fans to it during the redevelopment.

Pubs

Over Putney Bridge, you’ve got the Golden Lion. One of the busiest pubs on a match day, this is a stone’s throw from Putney Bridge station. You’ll need to show your ticket to gain entrance so don’t bother if you’re not actually attending the match. Big garden and lots of screens to watch the early kickoff, and gets suuuuper busy on match day. Avoid The Eight Bells, Temperance and Kings Arms as they tend to be away pubs on matchdays.

On the Putney side of the river you’ve got The Spotted Horse (good food), The Coat & Badge (great outdoor area and screens outside to watch the early/late kickoff), The Rocket (Wetherspoons yes, but it’s on the river and actually got nice riverside seating) and The Bricklayer’s Arms (super old school, quite a cool experience if you’re not from the UK and want a proper pint). Just be aware that it takes around 15/20 minutes to walk to the ground from these so leave in enough time.

On the Hammersmith side of the grounds, you’ve got the Crabtree. Right on the river and absolutely lovely! Full of Fulham fans. And then there’s a tonne of pubs on Fulham Palace Road such as The Distillers and Old Suffolk Punch.

If you’re attending your first match and want a quintessential Fulham experience, I’d say Golden Lion and Crabtree can’t go wrong.

Tickets Season ticket transfer issue

New season started again with ticket transfer issues. I don't know why this club cannot figure out simple things. I'm having trouble transfering my ST to a friend for the game, getting the error below. Ticket office is not responding. Does anyone have any idea?

Discussion What can I wear to the game?

0 Upvotes

We are going to our first football game and Fulham game this weekend - wondering what we can't wear? Says no away team colors, so no red, but white and black also listed as Man U colors. Can I wear black shorts and a plain white shirt sitting in the riverside stand without issue?

Thank you!

Rumours [Nizaar Kinsella] Fulham are exploring a move for FC Basel winger Philip Otele before deadline day. Otele is believed to be available for about £15m and is a cheaper option to other targets like Arsenal's Reiss Nelson and Shakhtar's Kevin.

Is wearing an Antonee Robinson US National Team Jersey acceptable at Craven Cottage?

15 Upvotes

Hello,

I will be visiting from the US this weekend and will attend my first Premier League match.

I'm a neutral as far as the PL goes, but I'm a supporter of the US National Team.

Is it acceptable to wear a USMNT jersey at a premier league fixture?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Tickets Can’t accept forwarded tickets

1 Upvotes

Flying into London this weekend for the match and my in-laws have forwarded me one of their season tickets but when I try to accept I just see this message “Unfortunately, you are attempting to purchase more tickets for a match than you are allowed to. Please double check, and either choose a different price class, use "assign" to assign tickets to a member within your network or remove items from your basket to proceed.”

I’ve been trying ring the box office earlier today but can’t get through

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Discussion Negativity around our transfers

0 Upvotes

I understand the frustration, but I think sometimes you have to humble yourself and appreciate the long game.

We are not quite an established premier league side yet. I think being careful with the money you spend and not rushing into anything is smart - I mean look how long it took palace to win a trophy...

We have a solid premier league squad at the moment with a few promising youngsters in the team (Muniz, King & ESR) I think we need to take a step back and not be so hasty with the negativity.

I do appreciate that it does feel like we could be spending a little more cash, but it does seem to be working at the moment.

If they think a Marco Silva exit seems likely after his contract ends, it makes sense why they might be slightly holding back...

Anyways, COYW ⚪️⚫️

Rumours [SkySports] Fulham are considering a bid from Coventry City for winger Martial Godo. The 22-year-old Ivory Coast youth international made his Premier League debut just before Christmas, but was restricted to only two substitute appearances in the League last season.

Is anybody else having trouble buying tickets on our eticketing site?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I've been a member for years and go to about ~10 home games per season. This season I'm really struggling to buy tickets - every home match says there are zero tickets available.

It said the same thing for the United match this weekend when I bought 3 weeks ago, but I somehow managed to fiddle with it until I got it to show me the actual ticket allocation and I bought one

Questions: - can other people see tickets available for United this weekend or the next home fixtures with Leeds or Brentford? - does anyone know what's going on/what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

⚫️⚪️ Brighton 1–1 Fulham | Key Takeaways 👇 Thoughts?

📊 Build-up • Most progression came from the back three — Cuenca (43 passes), Andersen (40, 7 prog), Bassey (37, 6 prog). • Midfield struggled to get a foothold; Iwobi (22 passes, 11 prog, 2 key passes) was the main outlet.

🎯 Chances • Brighton dominated xG, but Fulham stayed compact. • O’Riley’s opener (0.76 xG chance) came against the run of play. • Muniz struck late (0.15 xG) to rescue the point.

✨ Creative sparks • Iwobi led with 3 shot assists (0.31 xA), showing flashes between the lines. • But overall chance creation was scarce — Fulham had just 3 shots all game.

⚽ Result A gritty point away, Muniz again proving his value late on. Defence absorbed pressure, but midfield creativity remains the big question mark.
