A bit worrying

[royal.badger]

Ticksts available until 6pm mr h&p...

[Huntley & Palmer]

I went last year and got shit faced so don't remember much of the game, apart from singing 12 Parkinsons over and over. Crate of beer and the TV at home is much more appealing

[Rawlie19]

But then they'd be slated for not taking enough! FFS, never mind the saying you can only please half the folk half of the time, you can't please anybody!

But the club wouldn't lose any money, which is ultimately the point. Do you really think they care if there are 1500 or 3000 fans there?

They care about 1,500 reading fans phoning in and moaning about not being able to get a ticket I suspect. The calls they got last year after selling out (and that was 3,000 wasn't it?) would have made them think that they should take all they can get straight up. I thought they would sell all, and while I can understand why they haven't I'm sure lots of others are surprised that they haven't all gone.

[EASTENDER MARKY]

EP says we've sold out.

[royal.badger]

It turns out it was well worth the effort.

Except they weren't and were still on sale on Saturday, together with Chelsea tickets.

Really? As a game of football it was pretty dire. I certainly counted myself as thankful for watching it on TV

[Royal Lady]

If I'd been a neutral, watching that on tv, I'd have turned off and gone and watched some paint dry to be honest. But actually being there and with the crowd all around you in good form, it actually seemed at times as though we were at a cup final!

Now thats a good point Mrs Lady.

Agreed, although I wasn't thinking that when the train from Euston sat on the platform for an hour and a half

Well.

Everyone knows most seats belong to STH's or Corporate hospitality so, whilst it's impossible to end up with that may unsold, there will be lots of STH's taking their holiday at this time.

Being an evening game, many parents will not take young kids.

There are still 2 days to go to sell what few seats are still available as we enter the nations most popular weeks for a summer holiday, when our gates tend to take a dip but, let's see how many, if any, are not sold .

And, yes, any smug STH who uses such flimsy evidence for not expanding a stadium that has been all but full for the last season and half is indeed a selfish individual.

[The 17 Bus]

Look Mr Woody it is blindingly obvious we do not need a bigger stadium, what we need is to up the price of current ST to be able to compete, £650 in the cheap stands would help, £750 in lower west, and £900 in upper west

But you see, Woodcote, I thought that last season most tickets didn't get to general sale. That, surely, is the point. Like it or not, it appears that the paying public in Reading are not as keen to watch matches as they were last season.

[GJ79]

Agree with AP - a lot of cost, espcially since every home game I go to this season will cost me £40-50, for a game that we are going to lose.

Well said, do u have next saturdays winning lottery numbers?

[T.R.O.L.I.]

But you see, Woodcote, I thought that last season most tickets didn't get to general sale.

I thought the email from the club to someone on here (might have been kiwiroyal) said that the only game that didn't go on general sale last year was Liverpool? Could be wrong though...

[Behindu]

I think you need to wait a bit longer and get a bigger sample before you judge that - a midweek game in August is not really a great test.

And even if we 'only' sell out games after general sale it doesn't remove the obvious need to extend the stadium
