Fulham - Craven Cottage

What's the ground like?

Craven Cottage is another of those football grounds you wouldn't expect to find in the Premier league. Although its fairly clean and modern - at the same time its basic and dated.

For food in the ground your best option is a hot dog or donut stand.

Directions

M1 to J1. Turn right onto A406 North Circular Road heading west. Continue for 4m until you get to the Hangar Lane roundabout. Go straight over onto Hangar Lane. After 2m, you will see Gunnersbury Park and shortly after this Chiswick roundabout.

Take the second exit onto the A4 and at the next roundabout (Hogarth), take the first exit, continuing along the A4 Great West Road. After 1m, you will get to Hammersmith, follow the one-way system until heading back in the direction you came from and turn left onto the A219 Fulham Palace Road. After 1m, turn right into Inglethorpe Street, at the bottom, turn left into Stevenage Road and the ground is on the right.

Parking

Fulham F.C actually advise fans to travel by using coaches or trains. As it is very difficult to park outside the ground.

All surrounding areas are resident parking schemes.

Away Fan's Experience

Fulham isn't the best of grounds, and only offers very limited refreshments. They have a few hot dog and doughnut stands inside but that's about it. You are located in the Putney Road Stand and once again its not the best, it looks and feels like a fold away stand that could give way at anytime.

No alcohol is server inside Craven Cottage. Be aware also, after the game as you come out of the stand it gets very congested as home and away fans mix and it can take up to 30minutes to get out of the ground completely.

Where to drink

The Crabtree - The Crabtree is located on Rainville Road is around ten minutes away from the ground. The pub also allows in away supporters.

Zulu Bar - The Zulu Bar is located on Fulham High Street and is a big favorite with away fans despite the name of it. It is around a fifteen minute walk from the ground

The Larrick - The Larrick was used by the Avillafan team last season and is also on Fulham High Street. Its about two minutes up the road from the Zulu Bar and is usually a mixture of both home and away supporters with a little bit of good banter. This pub gets very over crowded and the door men start to refuse entry around 2pm.
