Who's going to sit with the neutrals at Fulham?

Fulham's website says 'Please note that the Putney End is a neutral area which is not exclusively designated for home or away fans. Purchasing a seat in this area means you could be seated next to a home, away or neutral supporter.'

Given that the Charlton allocation is 1800, it is no surprise that some of the Addickted are already buying seats in the neutral area.

But what is a 'neutral supporter'? Given that apparently some refs now have sites selling merchandise, it was rumoured that there was a group of people who went round the country following their favourite man in black. But such saddos are probably numbered in single figures.

I had thought that segregation was required in the Premiership. You don't have it in the lower reaches of the non-league, of course, which means you occasionally come up a small group of fanatics who constitute the 'away firm' for, say, Barnt Green Spartak. But at Fulham the home supporters in the neutral area are more likely to have dropped in after a spot of shopping at Harrods or Harvey Nick's.

The "neutral" end at Fulham has almost sold out, because it's easier for Charlton fans to buy via FFC than it is via CAFC...
