Due to various people not being able to make it (again) it ended up being two of us. I decided to travel down in the car alone and was going to meet one of my fellow Full 92'ers there. Mark had been with us to Dagenham so he knew the score. I'd sorted his train from Clacton out and met him at Putney station. We parked about a mile from the ground and then walked to the match together.
I do like a trip to London and picked a nice day for it as the sun was out and despite it being cold it was a decent day. Craven Cottage is situated in a park right next to the River Thames and as we walked through we joined the rest of the football fans walking towards the ground. It was a good atmosphere with Home and Away fans all mixed in together and it didn't seem like there would be any trouble at all. Just the sort of atmosphere you want! So the big question is....as a Premier League ground, how does the Cottage measure up?
