Carling Cup

[Row Z Royal]

Matches to be played week commencing August 27.

Thats a good 3 weeks before our match with Darlington last year. Strange.

Euro 2008 making all the fixtures earlier.

[Winchester Royal]

Swansea away is a shockingly bad draw.

What a load of oxf*rd.

[Readingfanman]

How do the FA expect me to get home from Swansea.

Typical FA Think we should sue tbh.

Well put WR. they always send us to a corner of the UK where we have played in recent years.

I remember going down there in January 2005 for a monday night game. It was awful, but Forster scored in the 95th minute (ET) to put us through. Leicester beat us next round. Ferdinand scored.

[Compo's Hat]

New stadium so can't complain.

Still prefer the Vetch with the tin roof terrace... and the 60p portion of chips!

You are Kevin McCabe, and ICMFP

[Huntley & Palmer]

Oh well, had hoped to go if local. Will have to wait for the next round

[bobby m's syrup]

I was going to say for purely shellfish reasons Southend, but I guess they have whelks in Swansea as well.

[papereyes]

will be going to the game. Debating getting the train or coach.

The last train from Swansea to Reading is at 20:40, unless you want to wait for the first one in the morning at 04:00.

The last train out of the place is at 22:30, that gets to Cardiff at 23:30

and then you're oxf*rd.

If I can get to Cardiff for 22:00, then there's a train that goes via Bristol, Taunton to Reading for 04:45

Ah well.

[Jackson Corner]

Be nice to see there new ground went to the Vetch loads of times. On tv looks very much the same as ours.

[Scarface]

That's a long way to go to watch the squad players.

[The 17 Bus]

away prices for Forest at Swansea are £16 adult, £10 Old gits, and £7 yoofs £7, so could be a fair price to see Reading in action.

[Huntley & Palmer]

Though I imagine they will go up as Swansea will want to make as much out of it as possible and Reading won't care too much. I would expect to see a £24 ticket price

Sorry to be a pedant but I thought he was playing for us and missed an absolute sitter??

Ferdinand's only goal in Reading colours was in a 2-1 defeat by Coventry. Forster scored in the Leicester cup tie.

Anybody who does not go to this game is a plastic.

I figured it was more appropraite on Club Policies, though:
