Reading v Nottm Forest 2009/10 Attendance: 19,640
Reading v Nottm Forest 2010/11 Attendance: 17,324

Can't blame it on holidays as last season, the Forest game was the first of the season.

Reduced prices = less money through the turnstiles. Fewer punters = even less money through the turnstiles. Think about it.

[Barney]

But you told us on another thread that you no intention of going to the Northampton game on Tuesday !!!
So just maybe spreading views on 'not going to games' from people like you is the reason others don't go to games !!

I was at both, so don't blame me.

I wasn't there today. The first Reading game i've missed for ages. Anyone that sits in, or nearby Y19, was it as empty as usual today?

[Row Z Royal]

I wasn't at the first one. On holiday.

perhaps when you are relegated at the end of this season and the second hand motor dealer ships out and sets up a love nest with cilla(ken dodd as butler) you could ground share at the rec with e newly promoted aldershot?

We can fill your ground twice, you'd struggle to fill one stand at our place !!

That is curious. I believe ST sales are about the same as last year, so maybe a lot of Forest fans attended? Or maybe a lot of North Standers came to point and stare at a new manager?

BTW, as you're no longer a Reading supporter, why post on here? Does the new object of your affections not have a board where you can criticise them?

[Sun Tzu]

Fair chance corporates are down a fair bit.

And of course it clashes with the V Festival this year which it didn't last !!

[parky]

I for one gave up on home games and am doing all the away games for a change. So I account for one of those.

Is that to do with the atmosphere at the Madejski, or that the away day experience watching Reading is more exciting than the home?

[Millsy]

I have it on good authority that 2,316 Reading fans are being held hostage on Mars.

And yes they have internet access.

So if some peoples' views seem out of this world, you now know why

I have already seen one Reading game this season. I may choose to watch another but this is not the point. The world and its aunt bleat consistently about the daft old coot not putting his hand in his pocket and spunking a few bob on a new central defender. Maybe the figures above can go towards explaining why there is no money.

Didn't forest fill their stand last year?
