Revealed: Why Fulham now offer pints for just £1 before home games at Craven Cottage… and why it has to be before 2pm

Fulham are offering huge reductions on their price of drinks before their first Premier League game of the season at Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva‘s side enter Saturday’s clash against Leicester looking to rebound from a 1-0 defeat on the opening day.

New signing Joshua Zirkzee netted in the closing stages to secure all three points for Manchester United last Friday.

Heading into the first game of the 2024-25 season to be staged at Craven Cottage the club have slashed the price of drinks for supporters who arrive early to the stadium.

Those who get through the turnstiles early can enjoy pints of beer for just £1, with all soft drinks just 50p.

Before 2pm all pints at Craven Cottage will be just £1 in a bid to ease crowd congestion

Fans who arrive early will also be entered into a draw to win a shirt signed by Marco Silva

On Saturday The Riverside stand will open three hours before the 3pm kick-off, whilst the Johnny Haynes Stand, Hammersmith and Putney Ends will open at 1pm.

Fans who arrive within one hour of each stand’s respective opening times will also be entered into a prize draw to win the club’s new home shirt, signed by Silva.

The aim of the initiative is to reduce crowd congestion in the lead-up to the game getting underway, with the club’s website warning that fans who arrive too close to kick-off may risk missing the opening stages of the match.

After a disappointing start to the season, the Cottagers will be hopeful of securing their first points against the newly promoted side.

Leicester were the only of the three teams to come up from the Championship to avoid defeat on the Premier League’s opening weekend.

37-year-old Jamie Vardy netted the 137th goal of his Premier League career to secure a point for the Foxes after Pedro Porro headed Ange Postecoglou’s side in front at the King Power Stadium.
