Statement on Brentford away allocation
As we stated at the time, we raised our concerns about the Club’s stated intention to reward participants in the Fulham Football Club Foundation’s ‘Riverside Run’ with tickets to the away fixture at Brentford last month, as an urgent matter outside our schedule of monthly meetings.
The Trust wholeheartedly supports the award-winning work of the Fulham FC Foundation and their attempts to raise funds, but we strongly disagree with using access to away games for this purpose.
We were clearly told any tickets used by the Foundation would come from a separate club pool with no impact on the away allocation offered to Fulham Football Club season ticket holders and members. We relayed this to members in our newsletter on 23 February, and it was also publicly confirmed by the Club.
Following further concerns raised by our fans on social media today, we are now seeking urgent clarification on whether that was still the case when the tickets went on sale on Monday. We will update you as soon as we hear from the Club.
We will never hesitate to speak to the Club and argue for the interests of our fans, but ultimately it’s up to them to decide.
If Fulham fans want us to achieve more, the best thing you can do is to join the Trust to put us in a stronger position in future talks.
