Matchday Supporter Services

Announcements
Supporters can request birthday announcements by contacting the Club in advance of the day of the game. Announcements are made on the big screen, 30 minutes prior to kick-off and then again at Half-Time.

Due to other matchday considerations we can generally only accommodate 30 messages at each game. As a result, where possible we do ask fans to contact us several weeks ahead of the date of the match to ensure that we are able to grant their request.

Requests can be made by email to enquiries@fulhamfc.com or by telephone 0843 208 1222 (option 4)

Regrettably, we are not normally able to add announcements to the matchday script on the day of the game. 

You can also tweet messages for inclusion on the big screen (and concourse screens) by including the hashtag #ffcbigscreen in your message. These are vetted and the best ones will appear throughout the build-up to the game.

Headsets must be returned after the game to either the Ticket Office or the Security Office behind the Hammersmith Stand.
