weybridgewanderer The away season ticket works very differently from a home season ticket

1/ you do not pay for all games in one advance purchase payment, you still pay on a game by game basis

2/ you do not get a "discount" for committing to all the games, you still pay full price

When you take the away season ticket you take commit to purchase EVERY away game that season not just league game


Thanks for this. I do not do AST anymore now the demand has gone down. :wink:

PEARCEY Listen you bunch of fairies. I went to Cheltenham v Reading in the FA Cup 3rd round in the 1990's so that means I have priority over any of those geezers that showed up yesterday. Nah nah ne nah nah.


I went to both. AND the Cheltenham replay :)


It pissed it down all night. (Or was that Cambridge? Those 1990s FA Cup jaunts all blur into one)

I went to those interminable Welling games all those Years ago, so I should have priority!!

:wink:

Incidentally, anyone else think its ironic that there is an argument about whether or not fans who saw Reading play a Premiership team should get priority to watch Reading play a League 2 team!!

:D

Just because 30 or so people on here have said they want tickets and a fair few on facebook doesnt mean it'll sell out :?

At last an away tie to a non-league club. Defo IN for this one.

I believe the club have a system in place which measures (to some degree) "loyalty" over the last c. 7 seasons. I suggest they utilise this system to prioritise ticket sales given that it's one of the things it was intended for.

lol@ priority for people who went miles down the road to the MadStad to watch Reading play Premier League oppostion yesterday. What a chore.

I am slightly annoyed. Back in my day the only place you would find the Cup Draw was on BBC Radio. So today I tune into BBC Five Live at a quarter to four and the Chelsea _Ipswich commentary takes precedence over the fourth round draw. No drama then, no suspense, thanks everyone for telling me we`re playing Stevenage. Total bollox, apparantly ITV call the shots and everyone else can go screw.
Back in my day there was none of this live televised shite, but I am sure the tossers at ITV will be queuing up to show us live being dumped out of the Cup. Back in my day there would have been no problem for The Plod with taking on both Chelsea against the mighty Tractor Boys and Fulham against The Posh both in SW6 at three o clock on a saturday. What is the point of a state broadcaster with a dedicated sports channel if it cannot broadcast the FA Cup Draw? Wouldn`t have happened in my day.

Yeah, yeah you all know what I mean.

Although i'll be honest - until I read the match report from the Newcastle game yesterday I didn't know they were in the league :oops:

Normally fall asleep during the Football league Show by that point :D
