Leicester boss Adams backs Fulham fans' campaign to return to Craven Cottage

Back To The Cottage Press Release - 19/12/02

Fulham fans campaigning for a return to Craven Cottage received a boost today with the support of former Fulham boss Micky Adams and his assistant Alan Cork, now in charge at Division One high-flyers Leicester City. Adams and Cork, in a joint statement, said today: "We understand how important Craven Cottage is to Fulham supporters. The time we spent at Fulham were happy days and we hope that Fulham Football Club can return home soon." Adams and Cork were in charge when Fulham Football Club began their rise through the divisions by winning promotion from Division Three in 1996/97 with a young side assembled with little money. Tom Greatrex, of BacktotheCottage.com, commented: "We are delighted that Micky Adams and Alan Cork have shown their support for Fulham fans. During their time at the Club, we experienced many magical matchdays at the Cottage - Micky started the Fulham revival. An important part of that time was, at last, being able to concentrate on the football as off the field problems receded. What Fulham fans want now is for the Club to keep their promise - to return to a redeveloped Craven Cottage as soon as possible." Adams' support adds to that of Gordon Davies, Fulham's record goalscorer, who has also endorsed the fans' group campaign to return to Craven Cottage.
