    No. They closed Craven Cottage for refurb and shared with QPR at Loftus Road for a couple of seasons about 10 years ago.

    I know, I'm saying I heard talk of further work at the Cottage this season and another ground share arrangement with QPR. As I said, that was a few months ago.
    Doesn't really matter anyway as its obviously not happening.

    Craven Cottage is still a kip though.

    I think the most important question here is, who is Rory McIlroy going to cheer for?
    And will he bring Caroline with him?

    :D

    I think they need the FA to confirm the dates of England's other Summer fixtures first as they want to do a few games in Brazil and will fit the end of season home friendly around that.

    Never found out, why they pick Cravan Cottage? Because Damian Duff played for Fulham?

    Suppose it's not like they'd be selling out the emirates for an irish glamor friendly such as this. The capacity, location and cost probably ensure its the logical choice if the game is to be played in the uk

    It they are to play in the uk , Celtic park wouldn't be a bad idea for an Irish friendly. It'd probably draw a decent crowd, though Glasgow is a bit out of the way, assuming the rationale behind London is that it's convenient for the players

    Surprised to hear the criticism of craven corttege. I've not been, but a few friends have said to me it's their favourite away ground as its proper old skool, which creates a decent atmosphere

    Excellent news.

    Apart from getting a chance to see the EPL footballers many of us support take on our own countrymen, it should be quite a financial spinner for the FAI.

    Can't wait.

    Was hoping it would be on weekend, but still will have to go.

    Was there on 1995 as well as games against them in 1990-91 albeit young lad.

    If Ireland win I'll need to call in sick for about a fortnight. It was bad enough when you beat us in the cricket.

    C'mon the Three Lions :D

    In relation to the England friendly next summer in Wembley. I have applied for a season ticket for this and next year and was wondering would season ticket holders get an allocation of tickets for these friendlys. I woudn't mind seeing us play the aul enemy in Wembley

    knowing the F.A.I you'll probably have to buy tickets for the next 10 seasons to get the england ticket.

    you'd probably have more success buying it from the other side of the water if you don't mind sitting beside 20 stone bald fellas who don't like you very much.

    Who says I've got a spare ticket? :)

    Your image of the typical Wembley-goer is pretty out of date, by the way. I'm sure that this game will see a few knuckle-draggers come out of the woodwork but Wembley is usually full of families.
