Popped into the bookies before first pub 'The Bricklayer's Arms', then 'The Duke's Head' neither of which were too busy. I found the Fulham supporters very friendly.' It is anticipated that the works will take two years. I’m a Southampton fan but was able to borrow a ticket for the game and sat in the neutral section.It was one of the easiest journeys to football I’ve ever had - we took the train from Basingstoke, changed at Clapham (if you get the direct train it’s the first stop, takes about 35 minutes) and it’s then two stops to Putney station. Fulham took lead early in the second half, Dons then equalised. However I will give a special mention to the stewards - very friendly, we could share some banter with them at the start of the night and they were very helpful with pointing out other supporters to the stations.It was my first visit to Craven Cottage. Walking into the ground there are televisions everywhere and staff on the food courts are very helpful.The game itself from a West Brom point of view was disappointing, with Peter Odemwingie getting sent off very early on for a ridiculous piece of retaliation. The atmosphere was excellent with both sets of supporters singing, the noise does travel well. It was hard getting in anywhere until we chanced upon the King's Head. I have also wanted to go to a game at Craven Cottage for a long time.Friday overnight coach from Dundee to London. The Cottage is another of those classic grounds that I had always wanted to revisit.We had booked parking on someone's drive in a Mews about 20 minutes walk away and got there early to enjoy a couple of pints so had no problems.Before the game, we went for a pint in The White Horse on Parson's Green. Plus as they are local rivals it was always going to be one of the bigger games of the season. then a twenty minute walk along Fulham Palace Road to the ground. HINT: When you are on the concourse, if the food and drink outlets are busy walk to the very end by the Thames - just round there corner there was another burger and beer stand and they were empty!The communal area once you go through the turnstile is actually outside, although sheltered. Exciting stuff. My mate thought I had cut it fine with a 6.20 p.m. train but I had at least half an hour to spare and plenty of time to grab a coffee and sandwich from Pret for my journey back to Manchester.I am writing this almost 3 months after and it is the only time I have seen Bournemouth win from 8 games I have been to this season so each time I think of it I enjoyed it more through my increasingly rose tinted spectacles! A crowd of over 22,000 meant I could not comment on the half time fayre as I could not get near refreshments. Despite a further late flurry from the North End, the home side stood firm, and in the last 5 minutes or so one sensed that both sets of players were now content to play the match out for a draw. The game ended 3-0 and you couldn't really argue with that. However both District and Piccadilly lines were suspended for the day, so I caught the Central line to White City.

The ground is then a fifteen/twenty minute walk across a park.We called into a couple of pubs before the game. It’s located just opposite the Temperance if anyone fancies giving it a try.After a few hours, and seeing Jamie Vardy make a bit of history on the big screen with his goal scoring feats, we drifted off to grab a pizza before heading home.Reading had been on a good run and stood second in the table.

To compound matters these restrictions are also in place for Bank Holidays, Sundays and evenings up to 9.30pm, so it will be a case of finding some parking further away from the stadium.Thanks to Robert Donaldson, a visiting Stockport County fan, for providing the directions.An alternative route by tube, is to get the Piccadilly Line to Hammersmith from Central London or Heathrow.
