What is The First Up: Football Telegram?

The First Up: Football Telegram is a group chat using the Telegram app that allows fans of the show to communicate with each other on a wide range of football topics.

What is Telegram? Why not just use WhatsApp?

Telegram is a messaging service very similar to WhatsApp, you are able to share messages, images, links across multiple different group chats. Telegram has extra functionality that allows us to automatically enter you into the groups and keep important data, such as your phone number private.

You can download the Telegram app for iPhone or Android here.

Is my data secure? Will other people be able to see my phone number?

Your number is completely private and cannot be seen by anyone in Fulhamish or other users. Your email will only be available to Fulhamish if you opt-in for marketing emails.

I want to support First Up: Football financially, but I don’t have any interest in joining a Telegram group?

Absolutely fair enough, no pressure to join! But we’d love you to give it a try if you fancy it.
