What's the lowest division you would be willing to go to? There's loads and loads of teams in London.
Don't mind really, preferably Premiership/Championship level though.
Well from the Premier League you've got:
Arsenal
Chelsea
Fulham
Tottenham
West Ham
Championship:
Charlton
Crystal Palace
QPR
You can find attendences here. Don't know about capacities. Unfortunately can't give you any info about getting tickets.
Just to add to Dmanetc's list
Watford are also Championship, but I wouldn't ignore the lower Leagues
League one: Leyton Orient, Millwall
League two: Barnet, brentford & Luton Town
nor the numerous clubs within two hours on the Intercity routes from the London stations.
Especially if you want to add value to your trip.
You will have no problem getting access to Fulham tickets. They very rarely sell out. You can even buy a season ticket now.
Go to Fulham, decent prices, lovely little historic stadium, great area for drinks afterwards and sound fans
I was going to say Fulham too, and you can get their tix on Ticketmaster, if you have a soul to trade.
Been to QPR too - good buzz there. Aiming to go watch Palace a couple of times this season.
AFC Wimbledon may still be outside the league but there are good crowds and a great atmosphere. Their football isn't up to much really - should suit a Sligo fan:D
Why you watching that foreign mcuk
etc etc etc
Can recommend Barnet. Was a season ticket holder there for a few years. Great little ground, right beside High Barnet Tube Station. Cheap in and great fans too
If I was living in London I would go to Fulham. Decent area, good ground, great atmosphere, decenty style of football and not too hard to get tickets even for the big matches.
I agree that Fulham is handy to get to. Crystal Palace is a b1tch.Quote:

Well we got to the other ones farely handyQuote:

These are the fixtures, tickets wise what one would be handiest?
Saturday:
Arsenal v Newcastle, 17:30
West Ham v Blackburn, 15:00
Sunday:
Chelsea v Tottenham, 13:30*
All the London Championship teams seem to be away that weekend.
*Obviously not.
Might just go to Brentford v Rotherham in League 2, as Brentford is closest team to where I'm staying.
I'd say you'd pick up tickets for Arsenal or West Ham outside the ground. Might be expensive though even at face value, Arsenal in particular.
If it's Premiership football you want with easy-to-get tickets at a semi-affordable price then look no further than Fulham. It has the added bonus of being the most atmospheric ground in London - you can see the River Thames running behind the Riverside stand (naturally enough) from within the ground. The fans are friendly, there are plenty of good pubs in Hammersmith, Fulham and Putney, all close to the ground, and it's accessible from central London, Heathrow, etc.Quote:

Basically after season ticket holders take their allocation, there is a window for members to buy tickets.
After members take their allocation, they go onsale to the public - for Blackburn, I would be surprised if they sell otu for ST and Members
Go to WHUFC.com for specifics
I think i paid £48, or thereabouts. Very pricey alright, but thats Chelsea for ya!Quote:

Can anyone name any football league south London teams?
Yes. Charlton, Crystal Palace and Millwall.Quote:

Brentford as well
They're not in south but west London, based (just) north of the river Thames. My uncle Gerry claims to be their only Cavan-based supporter but I couldn't confirm it. :)
:ball: PP
Reading Vs. Crystal Palace
Anyone know, would it be hard to pick tickets up for this game at the ground? They can be bought online now but just wondering if it's likely that tickets will go on sale on the day.
You would have no problem. Reading didnt even sell out most their games last season in the PL.Quote:

Went to Reading/Palace today. Not a bad game, Kevin Doyle hat-trick.
So glad I didn't go to Brentford, 0-0 game.
You've still yet to see some London football though.. ;)

Crystal Palace?;)Quote:
