I didn't get round to doing Wolves.

The information I got was :

10/11/1876 meeting formed St Lukes FC.

1/3/1877 first match

Merged with Blakenhall 1879 to become Wolves

1st game 13/1/1879 away to Stafford.

Moved to Molyneux 1889, first game 7/9/1879.

Thanks for the information above John.

A nice lady at Wolves' reception sent me pages of Wolves' history in cartoon covering their early days but no exact dates there.

Fulham FC gave me links to the history page on their website and to the entry in Wikipedia. Not very helpful but still better than no reply.

The date I have for Fulham is 12 Dec 1898 which is the day they turned professional. I wasn't entirely satisfied with this as being particularly significant but it was the only exact date I could find at the time I was searching.

Last Saturday they beat Liverpool 3-1 (ko 3pm). A Mars return was very close. Tweaking the chart to around 11.17am puts transiting Jupiter conj Asc and Moon trine MC. More testing is needed of course but perhaps it's a chart that can be worked with unless or until a better date turns up.

Thats the best date I have for Fulham as well 12/12/1898.

Couldn't find any fixtures for the 2nd division of the Southern League for that year!

I'd join in having a go at their chart. I'd stick with this date as it is the best available.

The only alternative would be some old book in a library in southern England that may have the history of the Southern League and fixture details-unlikely though.

Significant dates

2nd div champions 1949, 2001

Div 3 champions 1932, 1999.

FA Cup runners up 1975

Ficina and John

Yes I agree with you two about the chart when they gained professional status.

There's also the first match at Craven Cottage date: 10/10/1896

There are links between the two charts: Jupiter exact sextile Jupiter, Moon's positions, Mars, Sun-Nepture opposition, etc.

I found this link that suggests that Fulham changed its name 10 years prior to the 1898 date. This would put the date to December 1888 and they would have been known as Fullham when they moved to Craven Cottage.

John, you are absolutely right
Well spotted (proved that I had only skimmed the page )

It's good that we have a definite time frame. I'll pore over ephemeris to see if I can come up with suitable dates for Fulham and Everton.

There is a book by Dennis Turner titled A History of Fulham Football Club 1879-1979. Doing a library catalogue search, the only copy I can find is in the British Library. Anyone have reading access there?

Hi GB

Thanks for looking that up. The title sounds promising. Hope someone has access
