FULHAM fans are being offered pints for a quid at Craven Cottage this Saturday.
Marco Silva’s side face Leicester in their first home game of the season at 3pm.
And supporters are being welcomed back to the stadium with £1 pints and 50p soft drinks.
The early bird prices will be available from inside the ground until 2pm.
Fulham have slashed the price of a beer to encourage fans to get to Craven Cottage early in a bid to avoid potential chaos.
The club are rolling out a new electronic ticketing system and they say “queues” are expected while everyone gets to grips with the new way to enter the ground.

Turnstiles at the Riverside Stand will open three hours before kick-off and supporters can enter the Johnny Haynes Stand, Hammersmith and Putney Ends from 1pm.
Every person that arrives within the first hour of their stand opening will also be entered into a ballot to win a signed shirt.
Fans have praised the club for their incentives, with one saying: “Very clever way of getting people in the ground early hahah I definitely will be.”
Another added: “Going to be messy and I’m all for it.”

What we know about the ‘new’ Old Trafford
MANCHESTER UNITED plan to build a new stadium rather than redevelop Old Trafford.
The decision was made after a number of fact-finding missions to other stadiums including the Bernabeu and Nou Camp.
The cost of the project is expected to be a staggering £2billion.
A capacity of 100,000 is expected.
It is felt that a club of United’s standing should have a new state-of-the-art facility.
The new stadium will be built on land adjacent to the Red Devils’ current home.
United are looking to not only build a stadium but regenerate the area of Trafford where the ground will stand.
They plan to KEEP Old Trafford rather than demolish it, and use it as a second venue.
They will scale it down to a 30,000-seater that can then be used for the women’s team and academy matches.
That would mean the history remains with statues and the Munich clock and memorial plaque all most likely staying in their current positions.
The club consulted with 30,000 fans about what to do and believe there is roughly a 50-50 split on staying or moving.
Old Trafford has been United’s home since 1910.
The target is for completion by 2030.
