I guess the video boards will be operational by then. Too bad it will almost certainly be a relegated Fulham squad...

Fulham really dropped the ball today. They had a 2-nil lead before conceding two goals in the final 15 minutes. 3 points would've been huge for staving off relegation.

I know the guys in my family are looking forward to watching them play in Jacksonville.  They love them some "football" a/k/a soccer.

Rumor there is going to be a concert in conjunction with the match also.  Brett Martineau stated he had heard the name of Blake Shelton.

Exciting!  Sounds like fun.  The more interest and activity that brings positive international attention to our city is wonderful.

And it couldn't have come at a worse time with Cardiff and Sunderland playing tomorrow....

Fulham has been relegated from the English Premier League to a lower league. Shad Khad will lose millions with the EPL TV deals etc. I know that Shad has to have some buyers remorse. It's a downer that Fulham's status as an EPL team will be gone at the friendly(exhibition) in Jax. Of course with Jax's inferiority complex, Fulham's relegation means that construction at EverBank Field will be halted indefinitely, and the future of the Jags is shaky and uncertain. JK.

I don't know about buyer's remorse, but yes, it sucks that Fulham is dropping from the Premiere League. Hope they can right the ship and get back up quickly...

This will be free for Jaguars season ticket holders. Also, there will be a concert at the stadium that night with a well known act (Blake Shelton rumored). ALso free for Jaguars season ticket holders.

Supposed to be an announcement this week.

Khan knew what he was getting with Fulham..a project. He knew the state of the team so I don't think he regrets buying. But them getting regulated just makes things harder. He mentioned it was one of the worse days hes ever had. Khan does not like failure and Im sure they will bounce back strong in a few years.

How does a team get un-relegated and rejoin the Premier League?

I have limited soccer knowledge so I have no idea. I know they can, and some teams have gotten deregulated, then rejoined the next year, but it usually doesnt happen that quickly.

Top 3 teams from the 2nd tier league (Championship - the one Fulham will play in next season) are promoted to the Premier League each season. The top 2 automatically go and there is a playoff between teams 3-6 for the last spot.

relegated teams also get parachute payments from the Premier League, so the financial hit isn't as bad as it used to be.
