Five years ago today I watched Fulham get trounced 5-1 by Manchester United. I was in the Castle Pub, Tooting, and, well, you can read what I thought here.

That was the first post on Craven Cottage Newsround. Hade (who had worked out the five year thing as we were making dinner tonight) and I had been on holiday in Prague to celebrate her 30th and while out there I decided to start writing.

Sometimes the virtual needs to get real. Sometimes communities need to congregate. At these times, it is best to have a place to gather. A place to share space, to raise a pint and celebrate each other. We're going to tear down the digital walls and commune before the October 15th match against the San Jose Earthquakes.

Just in case you weren't convinced before, we can now share that in addition to some specials guests, Saturday's "Date With Sounder at Heart" in the basement of Temple Billiards will also include some free tickets to give away for next Tuesday's CCL finale against Monterrey.
