This club and our Chairman -- Tp, Saturday, November 05, 06:22:34pm (cpc4-haye18-2-0-cust745.haye.cable.virginmedia.com/94.175.134.234)
Was having a glass of red with a guy last night who said his dad, 72, had been a ST holder in the Enclosure for about 40 years.

Two years ago he wrote to the club asking them if they had any record of exactly how many years he had sat in the same seat in the enclosure. They got a letter back from the club saying as far as they could tell it was 43 years and he got a letter of thanks from the chairman.

This year on his 45th Anniversary he got a personalised signed letter from Mr Al Fayed with the cheque returned for this years ST and an assurance that he Mr Al Fayed would pay for this guys ticket for the rest of his life.

I couldn't have been prouder to be Fulham

Hope this elderly gentleman makes his own way to and from the ground and doesn't accept lifts from Mr Al Fayed's drivers, especially if they have to go through any tunnels.

Or hope he doesn't piss off the Queen!

Nice story. How dare you bring good news to the SF !

No, that's quality. Fair play to Al Fayed.

Classy to be fair. I wonder does that kind of thing happen at other clubs?
