Why Fulham
Fulham work as a second team because they come with their own geography: England, Craven Cottage, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.
You get a nickname
Known as The Cottagers. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.
Easy weekend
London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is about 17km from the ground, and Putney Bridge tube station is 1km closer still. A home fixture is a genuinely doable two-night trip.
The calendar you inherit
England Premier League is cold-weather football: mud in February, breath visible under the lights, and a fixture list that rewards anyone who sticks it out. England does not do easy neutrals.
Deep roots
Founded in 1879, Fulham were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 147 years of accumulated grudges.
