I guess some do that. But no. No real Fulham pub. Thats too bad really, but with 70 members coming from something around 40 places in Norway its pretty hard to gather them all in one place. But some of the members get togheter every summer and plays for Fulham in a SupporterCup with other supporterclubs for english teams in Norway.

That’s amazing Eirik. Do you guys regularly watch the games together in a pub or something?

Speaking of fanbase Dan…its growing. We have went from 15-20 members in our supporterclub to approx. 60-70 in one year. Another big difference for a norwegian Fulham fan is the chance to watch our boys on the telly. From one or two matches a month to almost every single game was a big chance to get closer to the club. The Accrington Stanley match was even shown yesterday! I would also guess that Fulham is the club behind ‘the top-4′ who gets the most attention form the press. For an example the norwegian paper Dagbladet mentioned Fulham in 509 articles in 2009. Liverpool, who has about 25 000 members in their supporterclub, got about 1200.

I also I am very excited about Riise. He has a good attitude and every time he plays he tries his best to prove to Roy that he is worthy of a starting position. He is quick and is quite an exciting player.

No one can deny the quality of his cross so I think that was just another great buy by Hodgson.
