#FULOLD




Another away draw in the South for Oldham.

After Hampton & Richmond, then on Saturday at Maidstone, this time away in London.
The opponents will be Premier League Fulham FC 

With their near neighbours Chelsea FC also drawn at home the FA will have to decide which day to play the game. Here's hoping they see sense and make it a weekend game so that our supporters can travel to and from the North West in a day.

Many years ago I used to go to Fulham. We are talking over fifty. At school my friend Chris' family had moved to Thames Ditton from Fulham. Most of the family were Fulham fans but some supported Chelsea and even Queens Park Rangers, who were also local and in the same London borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

I've not been there for over 40 years even as an away fan. One of the last games we went to was the FA Cup Semi Final against Birmingham City at Sheffield Wednesday's ground.  The scene of the Hillsborough disaster some years later.

You can Google all these things if you like. 

Fingers crossed there are enough tickets for us.
