FSA chair @tomgreatrex.bsky.social in Parliament today outlining why high ticket prices are an “exploitation of supporter loyalty”.

Fears that clubs in this country could look at FIFA & Spain where dynamic pricing is used to push up costs. Has to be resisted.

The better team, ESR confidence booster, Berge back and superb..and Traore can get a shot on target.

Delighted to have been worrying about nothing
Am I the only one feeling anxious about Saturday ?
A losing run has to end some time; Leicester lose midweek despite more chances, possession etc; and super Bobby ready to come off the bench and make a point ? #ffc #followFulhamaway

I went to Fulham, a football club that wants to grow and build their revenue.

They really need to find a way of doing it that doesn't alienate matchgoing supporters and puts to an end this low-level civil war

Fulham's civil war is tarnishing everything this magnificent club once cherished
For the past five years the hunt for suits and suitors has alienated the people who matter most at Craven Cottage - the fans who stood by the club in its darkest days

Millwall 3 Dagenham/Rbdge 0

No FA Cup shock and not much of a crowd either - yet more evidence of scheduling killing interest in the Cup

Football 24/25 match 49

Fulham 4 Watford 1

Spectacular goal aside, Fulham were barely troubled by Watford and through to 4th round of the Cup.
Thursday night for FA Cup an especially poor recent development - reflected in low crowd on a cold night

AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Gillingham

Scrappy game, but Wimbledon the better side - end the year in promotion places

Football 24/25 match 44

Fulham 2-2 Bournemouth

Intermittent failure to close games out strikes again - though unlike West Ham and Everton games, a draw was fairer reflection of play. Both sides dominated for significant spells. #ffc

Chelsea 1 Fulham 2

Finally winning there, in stoppage time after being one down, the best Christmas present.

Count myself lucky to have been there - very generous friend gave me his ticket as I’d been going for years longer than him. Forever grateful #fulhamfamily #ffc

Really good performance v the leaders today - almost a great result. Not many will take points from Anfield this season.

The Football Governance Bill is in the Lords and a handful of Tory Peers have decided to oppose it.

The Conservatives backed a regulator during the general election but now their Peers in the Lords play cynical Parliamentary games wasting everyone's time.

Just get on with it.
“It is high time we got on with it”

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy tells peers it’s “not acceptable to use parliamentary procedures to try to block” independent football regulator bill amid fears of delay tactics

FSA chair @tomgreatrex.bsky.social says supporters should be given greater consideration in cup tie scheduling - "The FA has to realise that the health of the matchday crowd is vital to the long-term success and sustainability of its premier cup competition."
