Argyle fan in Fulham?

Shoenice · Jun 4, 2020

Went for a run in my local Park in Fulham with headphones in. Some bloke ran past and said 'come on Argyle' :wave:

Not sure what the purpose of the post is

but would ne intrigued to see if he was local to me. Love bumping into greens in London. I'd like to think he was a green!!

Forgive me going off topic, but that walk through the park is one of my favourite approaches to any ground.

I used to have some very nice walks with a former girlfriend along the Thames on the Putney side down to Hammersmith Bridge and back. Only ever went to one game there and that was v Argyle in 94. Big turn out of the GA as always. Nice traditional football ground.

A ground I’ve never been to but probably the one I want to go to most. Somehow, always missed it. It looks a beauty

I didn’t think much of the stand on the river side, but it had a big home and away ends. The latter used to be uncovered, but has had a roof for sometime now so much better for visiting fans. The old main stand still looks pretty much the same I think, with the cottage in the corner nearest the away end. Yeah, grounds like this are becoming rarer. I’ve never liked the bowl type modern stadiums, because they generally lack character. Sadly HP falls into that category, or at least 3/4 of it. (Puts tin hat on!)

The stand on the riverside is currently being redeveloped to something much more impressive. https://m.imgur.com/zwwPbe8

That does look smart. Still looks traditional too.

The one occasion I visited Craven Cottage was in, I think, 1980 when Argyle Reserves were playing a mid-week game there in the old Football combination. Glory days! :lol:

Watched the university boat race go past one year before kick-off there....not an Argyle game.

Best grounds to visit in London is West London Football Grounds...QPR, Brentford, Fulham and Chelsea.. :thumbs:

Fulham is my favourite of all grounds I've been to. I don't remember ever seeing us win there though. :thumbdown:

Well, it wasn't me. I am just over the other side of the river.

And the new 'Putney' stand has some way to go before it is finished.

When I and the late, great Mike Pengelly would loiter around South West London [I lived in SW19, he lived in SW20] visiting local grounds along the Thames was a real joy - whether it was for a beer of not.

Craven Cottage was always a special "old-fashioned" establishment.

I am sure "Pengles" is wandering around the Thames as I speak !!

Is it Brentford's ground that has 4 pubs or something like that surrounding it ?
