Dangerous I'm sure most of you would be going if we had one of the top 4 sides instead of Darlo.


Me, No, but I agree the attendance would be better if the opponents were. :wink:

I'm going and I'm taking 2 adults and 2 kids with me. £8 is a sensible price, plus, it's kid for a quid.

Staging a football match is bloody expensive, so the club have to charge something. Then you get 20 royalty points on top of that, so it's definitely worth it, even if you have an ST like me.

Back the boys!

I'm going - haven't booked my ticket yet though.

Online, it says season ticket holders already have the ticket in their basket. But it's empty. Also not reserved, so I assume you still need to phone up or visit the store to buy the ticket?

I'll be doing it today before I leave work.

24,000, complete sell out with a superb atmopshere.

Reading fans are a loyal bunch and one of the best in the land. Two Man City fans said so so it has to be true.

This game should of come free with the Season Ticket, so I predict a crowd of under 13k.

£8 to watch our reserves v Pompey's? I think not.

I wanted to go, but once you've totted up all the little add ons, it's going to cost more than £20. More than is going spare this week. I might have a late change of heart, but I would be suprised if the ground is a third full, let alone 10 or 12k.

Dont see why they dont do more to get fans in for this game. 4 quid for adults £1 for kids, you'll get more fans in and more noise. Reckon about 8,200 tomorrow and darlignton will outsing us all night.

6000 sold so far according to the rip off number.

Alarm bells rang today when my account hadnt had the 8 quid taken out yet.. Turned out that my card was rejected - the same card that my west ham and pompey tickets were paid with. and no, before anyone says anything, I've not touched my overdraft!

Incompetant SC staff cant type in 16 numbers properly.

O and I shall b there!

I did laugh when I heard the game being advertised as David and Goliath - I think Reading are jumping the gun a bit there. It wasn't so long ago they were playing teams such as Darlo.

Not me.

Heh, a couple seasons ago I flew back specially to see us play Chelsea in the League Cup in a sell out at the Mad Stad. The trip cost me a bloody fortune and I really had to pull some strings to get tickets. It was, so I was told at the time, the 'biggest game in our clubs history'. My, how times have changed :wink:

Darlo have to agree to the price - more and more smaller clubs see an away cup game at at Prem club as a "pay day" and refuse to agree to the price being lowered.

So I doubt that Darlo would let it go any lower.

I'm going - only £8, you get 20 royalty points and a chance to see our new boys in action .... not only that, but I just love going to watch Reading, regardless of the opposition - especially evening kick offs - love em!
