[FONT=&quot]Imagine the River Thames at Putney Bridge on a bright spring afternoon. A few small sculls are rowing over the water, slightly choppy with the breeze that always seems to blow along the courses of waterways.

It’s Saturday afternoon, 2pm, and already there are a trickle of Fulham FC fans wearing their white replica shirts making their way along Putney High Street and over the bridge, glancing over the parapets at the boatmen, but with their thoughts reaching ahead to the game. Traffic is so heavy that they are the fastest moving things on the road but they don’t rush. Anticipation is in the air.

Over the bridge and left into Bishop’s Park. Now they get the scent that reminds them of a hundred games before: the smoke from the burger and hot dog stand wafts with the breeze into their faces. Mouths start to water. Fingers reach into pockets for money.

Now the trickle starts to become a stream. More brethren join the flow from the tributaries of adjoining streets and enter Stevenage Road itself. Now it can be seen! Craven Cottage, home to Fulham for well over 100 years, floodlights reaching high into the pale blue sky. There will be a catch in some throats at the sight. This is a family club. Fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers of many of these fans will have walked the same pavements on many a Saturday afternoon before them. This is real heritage; this is inheritance.

The white stream is now a river, boiling and turning and foaming as men and women and children, all members of the same tribe, meet and speak and break up into groups then split again and re-form. The programme sellers cry out, there are yells of raucous laughter, calls of welcome, shouts of derision at the knots of visiting fans, strange people from a distant land, natives of a foreign field.

All along the face of the stadium are the ridiculously narrow turnstiles. Scrums form round them, only resolving into queues at the last moment. Hands clutch at season ticket books, or fumble with banknotes and coins. Children are grabbed by the hand to prevent them being borne away in one of the currents and eddies that flow along the street.

Suddenly you are there. At the slit in the masonry that you will enter. It is a portal into another world. Inside, unseen, is the sea that this river flows into. A great bowl filled from the edge of the bright green turf up to the top tiers with hope that today, today, our gladiators will be triumphant. You stand in the gloom of the shadows for a moment, take a deep breath, and plunge in. It has started![/FONT]

Hi :hello:
I was away all weekend visiting my sister in the Isle of man, didn't get back till yesterday evening. We had a great time, its such a nice place. The weather was awful on Friday and Saturday but on Sunday it was warm and sunny. We had a major disaster though early Sunday morning. At 2.30am some drunk/high on something driver crashed into our hire car outside my sisters apartment and wrote it off. :mad: He managed to end up horizontally across the road and never had a clue what he'd done! He was breathalised (failed) and arrested and is now predicted to be spending 18 months in prison over there. :j Luckily my sister had taken out the extra insurance on the car otherwise she would have had to pay out £1500 :eek: She doesn't have her own car as she doesn't need one living and working in Douglas, she only hired it so she could show us around the island! Very interesting weekend, can't wait to go back :rotfl:
Oh well, back to the comps. I'm trying to catch up, i've got about 25 pages to do!!
