Eager to be as one with the locals and to do a bit of flat bonding – the tenants of 5 Allestree road journeyed to Craven Cottage to see our local team play Werner Brenan (a German team).
Even though this was just a warm up game to the Premier league season, we were among the 12,000 fans. As it is English summer, it started pouring down (luckily we got seats under cover).
The game itself started slow, and there was only one goal in the first half (to the Germans). At half time, we discovered that you weren’t allowed to take drinks back to your seats, as English football fans can’t be trusted not to throw bottles at people.
The passion for their local team was evident in the large amount of people wearing the Fulham shirt and singing the local chants.
Especially this angry ginga kid, dressed in full kit, he was not shy in telling the ref what he thought of him in questionable language for an 8 year old.
The second half produced 5 goals for the Fulham team, which everyone was pleased about.
To continue on the English tradition, after the game we went to the Durrell Arms (our local) and had a few pints. A nice afternoon out, and one we will do again.
Fulham F C for life!!!
Highlight: 5 goals!
Lowlight: The weather - Summer in England = rain
Interesting Fact: Fulham is the oldest professional football team in London.
