Archie Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 With the Italian contingent, we are laving for Fulham, that is always our favourite away trip. That beautiful stadium with the superb Archibald Leitch (the same architect of VP) facade in red bricks, the Cottage itself, the tranquil streets around the ground, the unique location in the middle of Bishop Park and alongside the river, the nice pubs around Putney Bridge, the walk alongside the river Thames from the tube station to the away End, and the nice relationships with their decent, loyal, not glory-hunter fans; all these things make Fulham a beautiful day out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 completely agree, one of my favourite grounds. Only things missing are the atmosphere in the ground and an away win. Were terrible there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted October 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2012 You forget to mention the statue of a paedophile. Not every ground has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Its my favorite away day too, despite the mad scrum for half time refreshments. I have never seen us lose there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 The result and the game were very, very disappointed. It was the first time that i watched the Villa at the stadium this season, and the team gave me the strong impression to be much weaker than I thought. The defensive movements are quite ridiculous, the two CB are very inconstant alternating a good thing to a blunder, the full backs push but absolutely don't defend, and Holman must do an hard work to protect the right flanks where Lowton is always out of position against a still strong Riise. Apart from this, the trip to Craven Cottage has been great as usual. Not too many stadia are indicated with a sign amongst the trees. The walk across Bishop park is an experience in the experience. Nice to see the two sets of fans mixed with fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
