Football fans have expressed their disappointment after a video emerged on social media showing an aerial view of Fulham’s Craven Cottage stadium with a decade-old sign still visible on the roof. The sign, which belongs to the club’s former sponsor FxPro, is still branded on top of both stands at either end of the ground. Fulham ended their partnership with the brokerage company back in 2013, but the FxPro branding atop Craven Cottage has faded significantly over the last decade, leaving supporters stunned that it has not been replaced.
Many fans took to social media to express their frustration and disappointment with the situation. One person said that while there may be concerns about Fulham’s performance on the pitch, what is truly sickening is that it’s 2022 and FxPro is still faintly visible on the roofs of two of their stands. Another fan suggested that Fulham should get rid of the FxPro sign on the roof, while a third fan suggested that a fresh coat of paint could replace it.
Despite off-field issues, Fulham has exceeded expectations this season by sitting in the top half of the Premier League table with nine games remaining. Many had predicted that they would immediately return to the Championship, but Marco Silva’s men have proved them wrong. However, they will be keen to arrest a slump of four straight defeats in all competitions. They are beginning a run of three games against relegation-threatened sides, starting with West Ham before they take on Everton and Leeds.
Unfortunately for Fulham, they will be without striker Aleksandar Mitrovic for eight matches after he was banned for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh during Fulham’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup last month. Despite this setback, fans are hoping that the team can continue their impressive form and secure their place in the Premier League for another season.
In conclusion, it is clear that fans are disappointed with the continued presence of the FxPro sign on the roof of Craven Cottage. While the club has exceeded expectations on the pitch this season, it is important that they address off-field issues such as this to ensure that they continue to build a strong and loyal fan base. With a fresh coat of paint or a new sponsor, Fulham can show their fans that they are committed to improving their stadium and their overall image.
