Missed todays game unfortunately due to family issues. What was our away support like? We were magnificent at Fulham last season.

I think it's got better over the past year or so. I wasn't there to witness the 'younger' fans in the 80's/90's, so I can only comment on recent years.
Without patting myself on the back too much, I think our supporters branch has done well to try and gather a lot of the younger hardcore together.
A lot of the younger, more vocal fans can only really afford to go to the local ones, hence why Blackburn, Wigan and Bolton are always big days out. It's the London games where we struggle because of the distance and price, but Spurs was good the other week and West Ham and Fulham were two of the better ones last season.
How I rate our away support... well, it's quite similar to our home support. Sometimes brilliant, but sometimes can do a lot better.
And so you know, it's not just a City thing. My best mate goes home and away with Chelsea and he is envious at me having so many friends in my generation. He wrote a blog about it recently if anyone fancies a read: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.chelseasupportersgroup.net/2011/09/is-the-long-term-character-of-chelseas-support-at-risk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.chelseasupportersgroup.net/2 ... t-at-risk/</a>
great article, could apply some of the ideas to city.

Good. Lots of noise coming from the back and we all stood!
First time at Fulham for me and I was impressed with our support.what I really liked though was the Fulham set up.This nuetral end is the way forward,fans going to and from a match together with not a hint of trouble.Then add on tv screens showing the spurs game prematch.peoffrey said:Mr Trebus said:Missed todays game unfortunately due to family issues.

London just costs too much, most of the games cost £40+ and travel. I tend to do anything in the Midlands and most of the local ones, but London just costs too much.

We took more away when Pearce was in charge 5 years ago than we do now.

Hard times and a Tory Government. What does anyone expect?

Match of the day 2 must have edited it out then. All the clips they showed were played infront of a ;practically silent crowd, sounded absolutely abysmal. Have noticed them do this a few times now. Anyhow glad you enjoyed it, shame it wasn't 3 points though.

Watched the game online and the atmosphere was fantastic from us. Until the last 10 minutes it was non stop singing. London aways aren't really known for the great atmosphere but today was brilliant. Well done everyone who went. Keep it up!!

Fulham had a Neutral End because they've been unable to fill their ground without it. They rose through the divisions quite quickly and the Club doesn't have the hardcore support of QPR or Chelsea. Lots of competition in the area. It is a nice experience but I simply can't see it catching on.
