was it only me, or have our floodlights changed in some way? poor lighting across various areas of the pitch today. actually made it quite tough to see the far end of the pitch. |

Thread | Fulham game in Boston anywhere
at 23:53 14 Mar 2018
I am in Boston for a week. Does anyone know any decent places where I can watch the game on Saturday? It will be early doors but I'd prefer not to watch it in my hotel room. A bar would be good if anyone has any ideas |

I got an email below about the date change;
As I am sure you are aware, the club confirmed on Monday that the date of our Sky Bet Championship home fixture against Burton Albion has been brought forward to next Saturday (28th January) from Tuesday 14th February.
Click HERE for the full story and explanation of the fixture change.
We appreciate that the change in date may have inconvenienced some supporters who had already made arrangements to attend the fixture on the original date, especially those fans who travel a significant distance to attend our home fixtures at Loftus Road.
If you have been adversely affected by the date change, we would like to hear from you and would ask you to contact our Supporter Relations Manager, Andy Rees, by email (andyr@qpr.co.uk) no later than 5pm on the 23rd January 2017.
Thanks for your continued support.
Come on you R’s! [Post edited 20 Jan 2017 8:12]

I went to Lille yesterday for a day trip to watch Russia vs Slovakia (got tickets in the UEFA ballot)
We took the 8am Eurostar direct to Lille. There was an alcohol ban on the service, but this didn't stop people drinking in St Pancras before that and sneaking a few cans onboard. There were Russians, Slovakians and English on the train and all good natured.
We then arrived in Lille, as soon as you get out of the station there was nobody on hand to try and direct fans anywhere - when there really should have been considering what has been going on. We decided to head to a nearby hotel bar to avoid the square. In the hotel was a Euro 2016 hub where officials were on hand to help with queries. We asked where we should go, but no advice other than we're unsure whats going on in the square try and avoid it. The hotel bar had champagne etc and basically posh - we just didn't fit in, so we decided to head to the main square which was only 10mins away to see what was going on.
Once we got there, immediately we could see English, Russians and Slovaks all sitting outside in the square enjoying a pint and sitting next to each other. So we joined them and all was tension free and generally good natured. This is obviously as the serious drinking hadn't started.
We then decided to walk to the ground which was an hour away, rather than risk the metro incase we'd get stuck there (as you can tell by my username i'm not white and didn’t want to be an easy target for any trouble). Again all harmless getting to and inside the ground. There were a lot of touts trying to flog tickets.
There were 3 checkpoints, first to check you have a valid ticket, second a pretty thorough search and lastly barcoded turnstile entrance. Once we got in, bizarrely beer was allowed inside the stadium - however it was 0.5% Carlsberg (which I assume isn't classified as a full alcoholic drink).
After the game, buses were laid on to get to the metro and back to the main square. Again, no tension or trouble in or around the ground, or even inside - apart from a Russian fan sneaking in a Pyro and igniting it.
We then made our way to the main square and it was like being in Trafalgar Square — it had totally changed from when we left it earlier as the England fans had clearly poured in during the afternoon. England fans had taken over the pubs because of the sheer volume of fans in such a small area. I assumed the Slovakians would be around to celebrate but you could see a lot of them heading back on the train, either to their next venue or home. In the square the English were loud — but were not causing any trouble. Everyone just drinking in the sun. The bars had all removed chairs/stools and anything else that could be used as a weapon, and cordoned off some the pubs using metal railings. The largest group of fans were in a side (ish) street having a sing song. Like celebrities, they were being closely watched by riot gear police and a lot of news camera men — some of the fans lapped this up by standing on shoulders singing loudly and almost posing for some of the locals taking photos and videos. There was no way we were going to get a drink in those pubs, so we decided to goto a small bar next to the station which was quiet and basically with people waiting to take the Eurostar home.
I’m not surprised it kicked off later as the beer was flowing all day. The weather also was glorious in the afternoon so a lot of fans were clearly going to get drunk before they knew it. The fact that the large group of fans were being watched closely probably didn’t help (in my opinion) as once one or two are drunk, it just taken them to think ‘feck the old bill why are they watching us etc’ and lob a glass over. (all in my opinion) — so I’m not surprised it kicked off later. We took the train back at 830pm and didn’t see any trouble at that point. The biggest problem with the fans I saw having a good time was booze. None of them looked like a mob or thugs, but young lads enjoying themselves — but one or two take it too far. I can’t comment on the late night stuff, but before that it was all good natured — but there was an air of inevitably about it due to the sheer number of fans in the small square. The city couldn’t cope with it. As fans spill out on streets it gets aggressive. Ideally fans would be contained within the pub to control them — but its not easy to do in such a small city.
For the record, the afternoon drinking with the Russians, Slovakians and English was brilliant. The football was also enjoyable (although a draw would have been ideal) — bizarrely the stadium roof was closed! For a day-trip was top notch. Hopefully we’ll top our group and get to the quarters and I’ll be back in Lille again! |

Is anyone else going to Russia vs Slovakia on Wednesday? picked up tickets for this a long time ago, now it isn't looking too great.
Maybe if we bump into a fellow Ranger out there - it will be one friendly face we might see.. and that's probably about it... |

I think TFs response to the Fans Forum question was interesting and at the same time disrespectful. He feels 50 or so fans who decide to attend a Fans Forum in their own time to discuss issues isn't as good as using social media. I mean fans on websites etc get minutes and can listen in. This is a 2-way conversation - not a 1 way update on twitter. Very poor from TF. |
