Tom, I doubt a move would solve the issue.
the way TflL is run. I'm going to write to Andy Burnham as he is concentrating on football and transport issues. I hope to see a motion in the H of C: TfL banned from suspending District Line on Chelsea match days.

It's a London Derby, so the vast majority of supporters will have to drive. Last home game our average speed to the ground was under 8MPH. Joke.

Transport wise, we must be the worst ground to get to, Fulham Broadway looks like it should be demolished and re-built.

Old Bill will be out in force with facial recognition camera's in place at West Bromton station with the usual trouble expected. Nothing like it was back in the day but so much real hatred between a small minority of the two sets of fans.

Good posts all and completely empathise with them. Thanks Jimbo for trying to get some attention to this at PM level! Do update us if you get any response.

Tom, thanks for your concern but I am fine.
I agree with you regarding the 5: 30 kick off for the Spurs game. To make matters worse, Fulham Broadway is shut again and I think there might be issues with the overground to West Brompton. Disgraceful planning by TfL.
I am positive about our start to the season. Having no minor European football is definitely helping us by giving Alonso more time on the training ground. I get the impression that there is a togetherness building in the squad.
Once again James is injured and the cycle continues. That said, where does he fit in unless we play a flat back four?

Jimbo
Not much to be said about transportation to the Bridge as it happens far too often, maybe a stadium away from the Bridge would solve the issue.
You are correct on your assessment on Reece.
I just cannot see where he now fits in but more importantly, his injury record means he cannot be relied on. I have said in an earlier post, perhaps retirement from international duty would help his world load.

Welcome back Jimbo. Tom, do you remember many many years ago on this site when someone suggested we all put our ages next to our names on this page? and we all did it as well.

I have assumed, probably wrongly, that Jimbo is 70 and Bill is 75. I am just a bit older.

I was born in November 1955, I will be 71 next month. Still a spring chicken lol.

Bill, yes you are a spring chicken. I just assumed it was 1951 and not 1955. Silly me.

In my opinion so far this season we haven't played as well as I think we can. Yes, we have had moments but we haven't dominated teams the way on want to see.
Having said that and as I right this post we are just three points from the team top of the premiership (Brighton) having completely lost our way pre the international break.
Just one other small point, who thought it was a good idea for us to play the Spuds at 5.30pm?

It will take time Tom for Alonso to bed his ideas in and as fans we need to be patient and watch the side grow, Caicedo was a huge miss at the start of the season and I now think young Henderson also fits into that bracket! Having those 2 in that midfield pivot has made a huge difference and hopefully another midfielder comes in January.
I have been very impressed with Josh at the back and Neto at wing back and our front 3 is as good as any other in the Premier League.
The fluency will come over time and providing players stay fit and focused top 4 is a very realistic target.

With Martinez now being out for 6-8 weeks with a fractured jaw, it creates a fantastic opportunity for Penders. Good luck to the lad.

Totally agree Tom.

Think he will be a top keeper hope its not a bit early but once he gets going I think Penders may be hard to dislodge.

Regarding the Man Cheaty issue.
Andy Burnham has come up with a solution.
If Cheaty are relegated to the EFL, he is going to request that they get an early release back to the prem as the EFL is overcrowded already.

Standard,
I'm the original Bill1955, I could not send any posts so I have set up another username.
I actually advised Tom when it happened as I thought people might think that i was an impersonator.
Sorry if I have confused you.

I think Bill explained he had another handle after his lay off from injury but nice to see another really telling contribution to the site from you again Standard.
