Fulham FC Training Ground

If you only came to buy a quarter ham or a half ham, you’re in the wrong place, because the only thing you can get here is a Fulham.
First-​Hand Experience: I was lucky enough to visit Fulham’s training ground because I have a friend who lives just around the corner, and told me that it’s actually easy to access if you go at the right time of the right day (when nobody is there). In this day and age I worry that trespassing on sporting properties will get me arrested, but I love taking pictures and adding them to my collection of places I’ve been. I don’t recommend anyone else do the same thing.
Besides, I’ve been caught at other grounds and they usually just kindly ask you to leave, or even let you stay. They understand the fandom and obsession. Maybe you do too. Maybe not.
It was one of the less impressive training grounds I’ve seen, and the fact that the owner is who he is now, causes me to drop it from 3 to 2 stars.
I liked this team quite a lot under Al Fayed and they would have scored 4 or 5 despite never winning a major honour. Largely because they were cute and adorable and hate Chelsea, and they were full of Americans and were punching above their weight, but most of all because they had a Michael Jackson statue at the stadium which was one of the highlights of the ground.
But everything changed when the new owner bought them. He’s done a lot of good things for the Jags apparently (although I don’t see sold out stadiums at All-​Tel and I don’t see the Jaguars ever in the play offs, ever, ever, so idk), but for Fulham, all he’s done is hire one bad manager after another, and tear down the Michael Jackson statue which was part of the reason I loved this team. So really, he’s taken them from one of my fave teams to being one of my least fave.
Then we have to look at the fact that they’re a rich team from West London, and have never won a single thing ever, and the picture is less rosy. They play in boring black and white, too.
Formed in 1879, playing in front of 25k, and they spent 13 years in the Prem which was great. But they’re not there anymore.
