Yes, I've been watching 'The Big Match Revisited' quite a bit lately!

Just had the Fulham/Middlesbrough game on in the background. It looked like the stadium was quite empty, like entire stands were closed. Are fulham restricted in how many they can have, or is this a case of fans not showing up (whether covid fear, standard loss of fan base after relegation, game on tv, poor attendance early season often attributed to summer holidays, etc)?

One of their stands has been demolished/rebuilt and is currently closed. - The Riverside Stand.

Yep, Fulham v Middlesbrough was a decent game and the away fans especially created a decent atmosphere. It’s amazing the difference fans make. I enjoyed that game more than any non Albion PL game last season.

2-3-5 and no substitutes? No buying fouls or taking one for the team? Inside forwards and wing halves? Centre forwards?

I’m IN!

SOOO hard to care. Never really got into that paying-the-slighest-interest thing in even one level below wherever we happen to be in any given season. It's all a bit Golden Gordon. IMHO, like

Was at Portman Road yesterday among a crowd of 21,000. Felt very normal although I still didn’t feel 100% comfortable - wore my mask in the stand all game. Some did, most didn’t.

Gyoekeres equaliser for Coventry.

Bong lucky no VAR in Championship or may well have seen red at end of first half.
