Well me and ~6 mates are going to the Fulham game. I'd go to the Wolves game if it wasn't being played in Perth. To be honest, it could be lack of advertisement cos i've seen nothing at all. That and the fact that they're not 'big' clubs is probably not drawing fans.

None the less, the EPL is easily the most followed football league in the country. Very rare I run into someone who actually follows a club in Serie A, La Liga etc.

Of course the biggest factor is probably the fact that most Australians are idiots

Bit surprised myself? I mean if you're into the EPL and you've the chance to watch a EPL side run round why wouldn't you?

Last season we went to the US and were slagged off something shocking by the locals as not being a 'Big' enough side to pull crowds? I suspect Fulham and Wolves are suffering the same fate here.

Personally I've never met a Fulham or Wolves fan in oz and I should think their OS fan base is weak, probably why they are here? Shit Fulhams fans base is rubbish in the UK! Also agree with Chris, advertising for the Fulham game on the Coast has beed practially non existent so if that's anything to go by they will struggle.

There has been stuff all promotion of the games.

I'm travelling up for the Fulham game, and staying the rest of the week and going to the Celtic game as well...for me it's a chance to see teams play I wouldn't get the opportunity to otherwise.
