Welcome.  Will be nice to lock horns with a West London neighbour.
 
Dave Lloyd is a mate of mine by the way.  Is he still doing that Fulham fanzine?

Sadly, I think you'll get a point which will be enough...our trips to the Arkles rarely bring anything more than a sore head.

If you mean ''There's only one F in Fulham'' then yeah tis still going :)

Since i am going to have to give up my season ticket for 1 season while i am in New Zealand (Replaceing it with a Wellington one,) are there any bars open late for Premiership games?

Yep, that's the one!
 
As for bars, depends really.  A lot of the EPL games are four or five am.  Just get yourself into a flat that has Sky TV.  it's not BSkyB, but they show a good 70-80% of the EPL games on a weekend.

Ah QPR fans! - Would be great to play QPR again, great games against them, but I think you will be playing Brentford long before us ;)

Yeah Right - Tui Advert. There are some of us on here.
 
But yes, I miss the real "derby" games against your guys and/or Chelski.

It still cracks me up that Chelsea (based in Fulham) only exist because Fulham (based in Putney) didn't fancy a move down the roasd to the much larger Stamford Bridge.  And they've been playing second fiddle ever since.

No good us playing at Stamford Bridge. Craven Cottage has far more character than Chelsea's ground. Their ground screams IKEA!

4 grounds in the area as follows.

Craven Cottage - Great location on the river, old fashioned ground
QPR - Awful ground if located in the top tiers since you can't actualy see he goals if in the front rows since it goes straight up rather than tiering backwards! did not like sharing there for a few seasons
Chelsea - Plastic as f**k
Brentford - Great little ground with a pub on every corner :) :) :)

Our ground sucks and there's been a few rumours about moving. I wouldn't say no to that so long at it was still in W12. We really need a ground, say a 35,000 seater. Not that we'd fill it, but it would satisfy the EPL for attendence possibilities. Although once at the Old Crystal Palace ground we had over 61,000 attending a third division match against Southampton. Still our ground record. Although in modern times 35,000 attended our Loftus Road match against Leeds in 1974.
 
I agree with you about Stamford Bridge. I stood in "The Shed" once for a match against the gooners (1-1) when our game at Forest was postponed. Horrible pitch and dingy ground then, now very plastic.
 
Craven Cottage suffers from capacity only because the locals didn't want to have it interfer with their view of the Thames. Shame - potential but not modernised soon enough.
