They used to have a statue of Michael Jackson outside of Craven Cottage.
New stadiums alone won't solve attendance woes
Excellent article and a great story.

A look back at how Australia almost qualified for USA 94
The HA-L is not the only business suffering in the current economy – power and other utilities charges are becoming a real burden. People, especially families, have to think long and hard about spending disposable income.
How much more will our Congress impasse cost football?
Well in 2000 it was reported in the papers that Sydney’s brothels brought in extra staff from interstate for the “Olympic” rush..
"What to do to have a chance with a Russian girl": Argentina embarrassed by seduction manual
Thanks for the info Kris and Paul D.
Reminds me a bit of the mindset of the farmed rabbits in Watership Down.
Academy system vs father-son: A new paradigm
So what you’re saying is that AFL players can’t play where they feel they would be able to maximise their remuneration?
Are the players in some kind of a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind horse arrangement with the clubs?
Academy system vs father-son: A new paradigm
Boundary riding here but a serious question: is the AFL somehow exempted from the implications of the Dennis Tutty judgement?
Academy system vs father-son: A new paradigm
Playing outdoor sports of any nature in summer is going to become more and more problematic.
Melbourne scorcher causes havoc with A-League plans
Ticket prices for A-L fixtures should be reduced – with power prices going through the roof and wages (and the economy pretty stagnant) even $26 for general admission needs to be considered carefully by many of us.
Adelaide United must increase crowds to warrant a new stadium
On this point – how do the Glory manage these long trips? Do they stay over east for the week or do they commute back and forth?
Okon staying grounded as Mariners climb into the top four
They certainly did and in the course of playing their three group matches at Ayresome Park, won a special place in the hearts of the population of Middlesborough. See https://www.theguardian.com/football/2010/jun/08/north-korea-world-cup-middlesbrough
In the quarters however they played “away” at Goodison and they were put to the sword by Portugal 5 – 3.
Fifty years since the Socceroos triumphed in war-torn Vietnam
We should also acknowledge that the portmanteau neologism “Socceroos” was coined by Tony Horstead of the old Sydney Daily Mirror in the course of his reporting on this tour.
More on that here: http://sesasport.com/?p=1731
Fifty years since the Socceroos triumphed in war-torn Vietnam
The frequency of the games on that tour is amazing:
Vietnam Independence Cup games on November 5, 7, 11, 12 with final on the 14th then friendlies on 17th (Indonesia), 21st (Singapore) and 26th (Malaysia).
Phew… and no charter flights.

Very good podcast on the tournament from James Parkinson here http://www.byassociation.audio/episodes/tourofduty – features Ray Baartz and Stan Ackerley.
The podcast is based on this article by Davidde Corran: https://www.theblizzard.co.uk/article/tour-duty

Well at least us Aussies are in a far better place than, for starters, the Dutch, the US, the Welsh, the Scot who are all nursing yet another qualification disappointment.
They could be joined by the likes of the Italians, the Swiss, the Swedes, the Greeks and Australia.
All these teams would have started off on the journey with a reasonable expectation of qualifying but like us there’s another hurdle. There are no guarantees.
Postecogolu must be gone for the World Cup
I reckon the FFA should now move quickly and appoint someone for the Intercon playoff games. That is to say, Ange is, sadly, now a dead man walking.
Ange Postecoglou to quit Socceroos in November
I reckon he is just getting his retaliation in first given that he has been doing an Osieck of late.
Helluva a way to motivate your players though, as I am not too sure how “Win just one for the Ange” will resonate with the young men in the squad. But it’s likely to make sure ANZ is filled for the Panama match on 14th November.
Ange Postecoglou to quit Socceroos in November

Cahill's belief in Postecoglou the cornerstone of Socceroo hopes
ELO Ratings have AUS ranked at 37 (1730 after tonight) and this is significantly higher than either Panama 51 (1582) or Honduras 65 (1633). So there is a real chance that AUS can get through if we can just find a way to actually score.
Cahill brace keeps Socceroos alive in World Cup qualification race
Ethics? That’s that county cricket club that comes from just outside London, innit?
How important are ethics in sport?
Very few sports journalists left. Most of what’s left are hacks who regurgitate press releases.
Care about the Socceroos? It's time to show it
As long as your input is based on empirical evidence it should be accepted.

Agree with everything you wrote but the Number One Question is, as always, “where’s the money coming from?”
