A Few Facts About Fulham FC
Fulham F.C. Crest
Craven Cottage – Fulham FC Stadium
Fulham FC makes its home at the stadium known as Craven Cottage, one of the oldest English football grounds still in use in the present day. The original building was constructed in 1780 by the nobleman William Craven to serve as a residence and a hunting lodge. The building was lived in by a number of people over its lifetime, which was brought to a close by a fire in 1888. It was left abandoned after it burned, and was not used again for any purpose until Fulham’s early members scouted it out while searching for space in 1894. After two years of work clearing out overgrowth and re-purposing the site, it was made a viable football ground in 1896. A series of renovations and additions lead eventually to the modern incarnation of the field, a still small but well-maintained ground with segmented seating areas arranged in rectangle formation around the pitch. Craven Cottage holds 25,678 at top capacity.
The 1997-98 season was the beginning of a new start for Fulham, and the team steadily gained momentum until at last breaking into the elite ranks of the Premier League in the 2001-02 season, where it has remained since, and seeing its greatest success in the club’s history by finishing close to the top of the Premiership table in ’08-’09.
After success in the Southern League the team was admitted into the larger Football League in 1907, where they remained and enjoyed success until 1949, saw them promoted to first division, the top flight of English football at the time.
Fulham FC is an English football club based in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London.
The Fulham team is the oldest professional football team in the British capital, and presently play in the English Premier League, finishing in 7th place in the ’08-’09 season.
The club was founded as an amateur team in 1879 by members of the congregation of the Church of England on Star Road in West Kensington.
The team won a number of amateur trophies in its early days, including the West London Amateur Cup in 1887. Fulham FC turned professional shortly thereafter, joining the second division of the old Southern League in 1898.
Fulham F.C. Manager
Fulham’s current manager is Roy Hodgson, known for leading the Swiss national team to qualify in the 1994 world cup and 1996 European cup, and has previously coached such noteworthy teams as FC Copenhagen, Blackburn Rovers and Inter Milan. Hodgson became Fulham’s manager in December of 2007, and although the team absorbed a number of losses in the initial few months of his tenure a late rally toward the end of the season saw the club escape relegation, and go on to higher standing in the 08-09 season than they had ever previously achieved.
The Cottagers fared poorly in their first stint in the top flight, and their third season saw them in last and relegated back to second division, where they remained until promotion saw their most successful season yet, finishing 10th in the first division in 1959-60. The next few decades saw ups and downs, including a stint down in third division a few years later and then again in the early seasons after the creation of the new Premier League, which marked their lowpoint.
They are also known as the Cottagers after their stadium, Craven Cottage.
