I was drawn to this thread because I'm currently sporting a lively pair of mustard - coloured strides, having been told by Mrs BC that my turquoise ones were unacceptable. Although I support Fulham, I'm no Rupert. It's the 'summer' FFS, why shouldn't we mark the season with brightly coloured...

I think they were my favourites, along with the trad Hammersmith. But the whole day is great because you get to see the different styles and traditions of Morris. The Madder Hill Molly from Carshalton, for example dance an East Anglian style. It was also interesting talking to some of the...

Last year, the Hammersmith Morris side were in attendance and featured a couple of young lads who looked like they could have been high jumpers in their schooldays and were reaching prodigious heights. There are also usually some 'dark morris' sides so it's a good mixture. I also know a Hare...

In Portugal the team that finishes 3rd in the second div plays the team that comes third from bottom in the 1st. Didn't we have that here at the start of play-offs?

So-called 'ethical' investments.

I went for a post match beer behind Fulham's new stand on Sunday. £3 / pint (albeit Camden 'Ale'), live music, food trucks - that kind of thing. It was a lovely atmosphere - sun glinting off the Thames, rowers out etc and the punters were an odd mixture of 'ordinary' fans from the other parts of...

Oh yes, I was only hoping. Ignore me. None of my mates are rich enough for the 1901 club anyway.

Promptly? The incident was in October 2023.

Turns out that the largest proportion of my actively managed portfolio is invested in US companies and has underperformed the FTSE 100 for the last few years. So as I'm nearing retirement (hopefully) I'm planning to move a fair proportion into FTSE tracker funds. Any recommendations, NSCers...

That doesn't mention home fans only, so could I attend wearing a Fulham shirt with my many Albion mates wearing their Albion shirts?
