I'm not saying very much about tomorrow in London we all know what's at stake in the remaining games. A great day out and a positive result would be marvelous enjoy the ride! COYH!! Fulham Trivia.  
The Fulham line up included Best, Moore, Marsh and our very own Alan Slough, needless to say we lost the match 2-0. The year 1976 my first match for three years having just returned from Aussie. |

All our yesterdays, when football clubs were 'clubs' and were chaired by recognisable people who the fans could identify with. Here's a couple of photos with one of our own in action, I think at Craven Cottage and Fulham's famous chairman pictured with one who made a massive contribution at Kenilworth Road. The other guy could play a bit as well but whose career grew at Coventry and through TV.   |

My son played junior football for a team sponsored by the GMB union. at the time Fulham were also sponsored by them. the boys were invited to Craven Cottage to watch a first team match. At half time we spotted Jimmy Hill my sons friend tried to get his autograph, but didnt have a piece of paper and asked him to sign his arm. Hill refused and said it was a dangerous thing to do. Well done Jimmy. Who is the Luton player Liz? |

You'll kick yourself for asking as I'm sure you saw him play. Wally Shanks.

I remember taking my Mum to Craven Cottage. It was probably the only away game she went to.

It's either Roker Park, Sunderland or because of the darker hue more than likely Fratton Park, Portsmouth or Goodison Park, Everton. |

Tomorrow I'm attending my 1,925th Town match and 675th away game. It will be my 9th Craven Cottage visit since 1972. I've been seven times with Luton to see 3 Town wins, a draw and 3 defeats plus the last visit in 2004 to see my 2nd love Rangers beat Fulham 1-0 in a pre season friendly the day after we at Luton had been taught a footballing lesson when the famous Ajax trounced us 4-0 at the Kenny - before we went on to convincingly win League 1 (old Div 3) in 2004-05 under Mike Newell.
Looking forward to the long ago booked Loyal Luton Supporters Club three boats pre match River Thames Booze Cruise with 700 other Hatters - hopefully see you's on it IKJP/Ironman.
For anyone interested here are the previous seven clashes I've attended at CC:
1971-72, FFC 3 Luton 1 ( Peter Anderson) Att: 11,328
1975-76, Div 2 FFC 2 Luton 0 Att: 9,626
1976-77, Div 2 FFC 1 Luton 2 ( John Aston, Jimmy Husband) Att: 11,071
1978-79, Div 2 FFC 1 Luton 0 Att: 8,914
1979-80, Div 2 FFC 1 Luton 3 (David Moss pen, Ricky Hill, Bob Hatton) Att: 8,680
1997-98, Div 2 (old Div 3) FFC 0 Luton 0 Att: 8,142
1997-98, Auto Windscreen Shield FFC 1 Luton 2 ( Dwight Marshall, Tony Thorpe) Att: 5,103.

Thinking about it, would make sense LL as Wally is in black and white and would probably have been in the red kit if it was at Fulham.

Whether attending the game on boat, bike, foot or remotely via tv, think we’ll all be hoping to see the following in order of importance
At a minimum
- no more injuries
- a solid performance from Ingram
Desirable
- a point
- an injury free return for one or more key players
Dreamland
- a win
Enjoy the game!

Saw this yesterday in Putney thought it may have been an omen........ but sadly not. Good alternative to Power Court?  |
