Reading Buses football buses changes

Period tickets no longer valid, depending on zone this means those who with weekly tickets who previously used these on football buses will have to stump up £4 or £5 more per game for a return fare.

Alternatively, do what I plan to do tomorrow and catch regular buses which accept weekly tickets and walk from the basingstoke road to the stadium and back saving £4 a game.

I would say talk to the supporters trust, but they'll just do fuck all, as usual.

I am genuinely surprised that so few people actually take advantage of this. To me, it is a no brainer.

I do most home games. £3.80 busabout from home then change to No.6 down the Basingstoke Road. The return trip can sometimes be a bit slower but so what? Also theres a chip shop, newsagents and bookies right by the bus stop.

You forget that Reading is infested with the laziest inhabitants known to man. I used to get a Stagecoach bus, and there was one guy who always complained that the bus dropped off at the CostCo roundabout, rather than outside the West Stand.
