Memories of Fulham away

[w7 bee]

1980…lost 1-0…way before Mahoneys time ….pretty sure it was dean smith or tucker who’s shot was miles over the line (worse than lampards v Germany ) but wasn’t given….we had a tremendous turnout too that day as 30 or so Fulham skins found out in the Putney end by the bar at the top b4 game after the game was better for them apparently

My 1st ever Bees away but went with Fulham supporrlting friends dad , was told by turnstile man to hide my scarf in Hamm home end . Remember seeing punch ups in packed away end . FA Cup 3rd round i think.

 

[North London Bee]

Roger Brown’s OG

 

[marks]

did we play in green tops that day or have i a very bad memory

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Maupay 94th minute equaliser in 2018. Limbs.

Limbs indeed . I remember virtually ripping my kneecap off when he scored

Defo Dean Smith , Miles over the line and is still the only time I’ve seen us lose there .

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Seen 13 games at their place versus us

W5 D7 L1 ( Fa cup 1980 my first game there and only defeat )

 

[Guildford Bee]

Seen 13 games at their place versus us

W5 D7 L1 ( Fa cup 1980 my first game there and only defeat )

You’re lucky to have only seen one loss, I think I’ve seen three in the last four visits, all horrific in their own way.

 

[Garybaldbee]

Opening day of the season 81.
Winning 2-1.
That cup game was very lively.

Our first ever three points.

 

[Bigruss]

Apart from all the Brentford games there, I remember going to Fulham in the early 90’s to see Hayes Town beat them 2-0 in the FA Cup.

I remember going there to watch George Best and Rodney Marsh - not Fulham.

Green in the league game that season (1-1)
There was a a 50 a side in bishops park after ….remember green MA1 flying jackets everywhere !!!

I might be wrong but I thought we won the game Paul Birch scored in 3-0, 3-1?

3-1….the smallest ever crowd too…4700 and we had 1500 of it !!! 85/86 I think

2nd round…. We beat Addlestone and Weybridge in the 1st after a replay !!! both games at GP and the replay was terrace carnage

 

[Ashford Bees]

1. Bees up, Fulham down takeover
2. New Year Day massacre that they swerved
3. Gary B chinning Stannard

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

I might be wrong but I thought we won the game Paul Birch scored in 3-0, 3-1?

2-2 Bliss sending off ?

3-1 was in 86 , pissed down all game The plank , Robbie Cook and Roger Joseph scored .

Bought the video of that one

Yes, I’ve just looked it up now. The game in which Birch scored against Fulham was a 2-2 draw. His only other goal for Brentford was against Aldershot 2 days earlier.

We did beat Fulham at home that season 3-1 but Birch didn’t score and probably wasn’t playing in that one

I seem to recall Birch decided not to become a professional footballer.

 

[aawharris]

Getting pooed on by a seagull in the open end.
Wasnt even lucky, we drew

Yes, that’s right

 

[seanrs]

3-3 away draw January 1989. We were 2-0 down then came back to lead 3-2. Gordon Davies equalised and I recall Tony Parks getting his angles wrong allowing Davies an easy chance. We nearly nicked a winner through a Millen header near the end.

September 1986. Remember It well as it was just before I left home for Uni. It was belting down all afternoon. Not much fun on that completely uncovered Putney End. The ground was three quarters empty. Mind you there was only 5,340 back at GP for the return fixture (the Sunday morning game where kick off had to be delayed an hour for the frozen pitch to soften up). Looking back it's crazy to think how small crowds were at that time.

The mid 80s crowds were dreadful…across all leagues ….im pretty sure the home gate that season was the best up till then too

 

[westendbee]

Fascinating fact (or not…) : I got married in April 1990 shortly after we lost a Division 3 match at the Cottage. We then didn’t lose another away game at Fulham for the first 32 years of my married life (11 matches unbeaten)

 

[BaildonBee]

Roger Stanislaus 30 yard screamer

Great goal from one of my favourite ever Bees

 

[nick logan]

The 1-0 win in 91/92 walking up Fulham Palace Road after was the first time I heard the are you listening chant

The hit on the head game from the whole of the uncovered Putney end, a hard fought draw (could be wrong) in the early days of Fayeds tenure as they were spunking millions on likes of Chris Coleman etc, although we went down they lost in play offs, 97?

Then the long wait till the glorious return in 14/15?

Was also at the 0-0 game, standing on riverside paddock close to the Hammy End

Nigel Gleghorn equalised the CC game . Absolutely unreal limbs

 

[nick logan]

The 4-1 win.
But also when we were playing away in the 60's,going to the Cottage and fond memories of Johnny Haynes,Eddie Lowe,Tony Macedo,George Cohen,Graham Leggatt,Jimmy Hill, Tosh Chamberlain and Maurice Cook

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

Nigel Gleghorn equalised the CC game . Absolutely unreal limbs

Was a mad night….before and after and during taking over their pub b4, mad eyes with his Margate scarf winding their enclosure mob up (2 bees in there who didn’t last long)and a full on battle at Putney station late after
They were at top and us at bottom so was a great result that night the return game at gp was when they put Fulham’s mob in the seats above us in the braemar enclosure …not the old bills finest moment

 

[Guildford Bee]

Nigel Gleghorn equalised the CC game . Absolutely unreal limbs

Pretty sure he put us 1-0 up?

 

[nick logan]

Maybe actually , think we still thought draw was good result considering?

I was there too. IIRC, our third goal was a breakaway from a corner where Tony Obi ran the full length of the pitch before squaring for Roger Joseph to sidefoot home right in front of the delirious (and drenched) away contingent.

Was that an evening game?

 

[Officer Dibble]

2nd round…. We beat Addlestone and Weybridge in the 1st after a replay !!! both games at GP and the replay was terrace carnage

Remember one of theirs going into his Bruce Lee crouching tiger pose in the Royal Oak end. He went bouncing down to the bottom in double quick time a bit like what a certain chap did to a poor unfortunate at Blackpool away.

Apologies for going off topic, but the 80's were the best of times.

 

['Ayes B]

I an remember tge 0-0 game on New Years Day.

We were crap so tge game wasn't all ticket... tgen we went on an unbeaten run over Xmas and had possible the biggest turn out ever.

We were in the pub when Ken came around at 12 and told us tgat if we wanted to get in tge away end we should be in tge fround by 1:30 (for a 3pm ko).

Half the Putney end was fenced off and the capacity limited to around 1500.

The seats had been removed in tge two blocks at either end of the Riverside stand and they both became Brentford terraces.

Apparently, the queues outside the Hammersmith End were so big that quite a few Brentford fans climbed over and preceded to open the exit gates to let all of ther other fans in. (Please collaborate this fact if you know it to be true).

The official gate was only 8000 but we sold out the away end, probably had half of the Riverside stand, apparently half of the Hammersmith end and by all accounts quite a few in their paddock up by the away end.

Fulham fans were certainly not happy and gave their club a lot of flack for tge way tgat we took their ground over.

Gate was officially just under 10k

Yes and it sleeted / snowed for most of the match IIRC

I was in a box at the back of the Riverside stand being entertained by a then Fulham director called Dennis Turner along with rest of his guests who were all Fulham. When we scored he nearly chucked me out for over celebrating! He was a really nice bloke who I got to know quite well over the years. He was also chief UK economist for first Midland bank and then HSBC after they took them over. He died a number of years ago but really hated the Premier League!

I was somehow in the Stevenage Road end that day with my group and ended up conga-ing in and out of the sparse home fans at 3-1 up.

 

[LingfieldBee]

One of the all time great away days:

Lost my brother this day he tumbled about 6 rows down when celebrating I'm not even sure how he lasted the day he was far too gone when we arrived at the Eight Bells

 

[Sofasteve]

Gets more each time it is mentioned but certainly the Putney end and old riverside stand were packed with Bees. Shame we didn't score as that would have shown how many down their Hammersmith end.

Was in the Hammersmith end that day, in the corner by the riverside end. Later that week got approached by a Fulham fan in the Admiral Nelson in Whitton stating that if I ever was seen in there again I'd be in trouble.

Been back there and nothing.

Or whatever their home end is called!
I think I got the name wrong.

 

[unBEEliveable]

Maupay equaliser was well celebrated - took my Antwerp (ACC) mate to that one and ended up chipping his tooth with an inadvertent headbutt in the melee. Was caught on camera in the highlights too shame he isn't around for the next one as he has a 100% record for bees wins in West London derbies!

Yep then Tuesday night 300 went to Carlisle . Jamie Bates debut iirc

0-0 NYD game.
Absolutely hanging.
Only time I've ever thrown up in the stands!! (Back of the terrace!!)

 

[harefield heckler]

Bliss and fat Jim. Close thread.

Like a felled tree

 

[Edmundo]

Due to being in Australia, I wasn't able to be there for the 4-1 thrashing we doled out, but I was there for the 3-0 thrashing a couple of years back when we got a soft penalty and they got a commensurately soft red card!

 

[Sultan]

0-0 went on Pat Brown’s coach.
