DEAR PREMIER SOCCER, Vincent Heywood (Premier Postbag, October 4) can rest assured he is not the only Fulham supporter in Hong Kong. Including me, that's two of us and who knows? Perhaps there are others walking around town with the 'Am I the only Fulham supporter?' syndrome.
Fulham have made a great start to the season and it must be more than a coincidence that this has happened after years of uncertainty over the redevelopment of the ground and the relocation of the club has finally been resolved.
In their centennial year, the club has now obtained planning consent to develop Craven Cottage, one of the most attractive grounds in the league, located next to the River Thames.
Part of the arrangement requires the club to raise GBP1 million by 1999 to renovate the Stevenage Road stand and the Cottage, which was originally built in 1780.
With this aim, Fulham supporters have established a company called 'Fulham 2000' with radio personality David Hamilton and former players Johnny Haynes, George Cohen and George Best as patrons. To date, Fulham 2000 has raised nearly GBP330,000 from membership fees and various donations and fund-raising activities. Any soccer fan interested in preserving one of England's most picturesque grounds who who would like further details of Fulham 2000 can contact me on 2785-2005.
Geoffrey E. Green, Pokfulam.
