Are Fulham too posh? Do we really live up to our image as the Premier League's upper-crust club?

Despite opposition taunts of 'Does Your Butler Know You're Here?' CONOR SCHMIDT argues that, despite our reputation for cheeseboards, Victoria sponges and Riverside opulence does not have an adverse affect on Fulham's results.

Fulham are often ridiculed for being the posh boys of English football.

Situated on the banks of the Thames in one of London's most affluent neighbourhoods, the club has embraced an image unlike any other in the Premier League.

But is that reputation holding Fulham back, or should they lean into becoming England's luxury football club? How posh are Fulham really? 

Data compiled by all-inclusive.com in 2024 has Chelsea narrowly beating out Fulham as England’s poshest team, mainly because of median house price. If average house price is one measure of poshness, I'd argue a better one is the number of Waitrose and Marks & Spencer stores per 1,000 people. By that metric, Fulham comfortably top the league.
