Slater1993 They have only sold 1,300. was expecting more.....


Really, exactly why would you be expecting more?
Its Reading, lots of us have been there a couple of times, its nothing to get excited about.
There will probably be about 1600-2000 on the day, will that be enough for you?

£10/£5 a ticket, not exactly a long trip, basically a cup final for you but still can't come near to selling out.

Lol at thinking 50% of the amount you've sold will rock up for potd. Deluded or what?

Speaking of deluded... I read something on your forum that said you reckon our teams are of equal level/ability.

Not enough :lol: in the world.

It's surprising especially considering job centre isn't open on a Saturday, so they should all have a free afternoon.

I think it was your fans who were suggesting 2,000 would be the likely attendance. It's no big deal either way, the game will be decided on the pitch not by the turnstile counter.
When you can save a fiver by buying in advance though, why would 700 people forget and have to pay extra on the day ?

Hi Walsall fan here ... enjoyed reading the stuff on here as well as the corresponding thread on UTS. Am looking forward to tomorrow's game and think it should be a pretty open affair. A new ground for me. Will go for a 2-1 win & us getting knocked out at Gigg Lane in the 5th rd ( we have never reached the 6th rd).
i had a question .. what is it like getting back on the shuttle buses to the station after the game? Does it take ages to get on? Cheers.

They move fairly quickly despite the big queues. I think you can expect to be back in town by about 5.30 - 5.45. I don't have the patience to wait and usually just walk it though, so might be wrong. It's definitely quicker waiting for the bus than walking though.

Interesting that it's gone from crowing "aren't we so great, we're bringing a massive 1,500 and our singing is going to wake you up"

to

"It's only Reading, no big deal because we've been there before. Oh and I never wanted to go anyway so nah nah nan nah nah."
