Fulham 1 - 1 Bolton, Craven Cottage

John and I went to the Footy last night to watch the Wanderers. £5 tickets as I am a local Fulham resident, the ground is literally 5 mins walk from my flat, just perfect.

Craven Cottage is Fulham Football Club's home ground, set on the north bank of the Thames. Its name comes from the Cottage which is perched on the north east corner of the ground. The place has an intimate feel to it, very small for a Premiership ground. You feel very close to the action.

The rain was trickling down all night and we warmed ourselves with a dinner of dry hot dogs. hmmm

My SLR camera got bounced by security again "You keep that camera in the bag, if we see you using it we will remove you from the ground yeah?"...nice. Its the 2nd time in two weeks and a recurring theme, maybe I should take it as a compliment.

The game was quite uneventful and high school quality for much of the night - except for a few glimpses of Premiership Quality. Bolts were unlucky to come away with a draw. Fulham seems to be the bogey team, we havent won against them in 5yrs or so.

We were seated in the neutral area, which was made up of predominantly Fulham supporters so couldnt go nuts when we scored a penalty. The crowd going up for the home equaliser was electric though, great stuff.

As always its always fun to see some live sport.
