Garrincha Out of 2000 allocation to date we have sold 700! (only 3 days to go)

Perhaps we should stop giving the large when it comes to away supporter's at the Mad Stad.....

This game may be on a Tuesday night but surely being one of the more accessible away games we should have a better showing than this????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!


Are you going?

Skin LOL @ 'reputation'. FFS.

That was 20 years ago.


Go on then, go the game wearing reading colours, or an England flag with Reading written on it and tell us all after the game about a pleasant night out at Ninian Park...

i wore a scarf, flag, and hat to the millenium stadium for the rugby where they beat us, and won the grand slam
i didnt get any gyp at all
but then we lost, may have been different
or is that just for the rugby

are the footy supporters a different kettle of psychos?

i saw some bloke get hit by a golfball at elm park vs cardiff, was a right mess
had a lump on his forehead the size of a.....well....golfball

700 is not bad, we took 400 the last time we played them midweek at Ninian (2004, a 3-2 win with Dean Morgan scoring in the last minute).

Dean Morgans finest moment in a Reading shirt and for that I will always treasure him

I don't know why anyone would be embarrassed about how many people are going. :|

It's just a fooking number, means nothing to us. The football is the main thing. :roll:

It's all that matters to people like Finerain. Clubs win things on the terraces, not the pitch, remember?

Ridiculous. You really expected more than 700 sold for a midweek away match with 3 days to go?

By the way, putting 25 question marks makes you look like a fool.

Yes totally understand that but look what happens when we went up to the Prem... loads of plastics came out the woodwork, filled the stadium for 2 seasons then left... think point i m trying to make is it would be nice to have fans who see us through thick and thin.

WOuld love to hear a chant we can sing as being OUR OWN RFC chant..... fat chance i know

Judging how hard it is to get tickets together, I'd say that we've 'lost' pretty much the south stand and the north-east corner. Some of thjose might actually just be people like my mate, who bought a ST for the prem even though he couldn't make every game, but no longer feels the need to throw away his money.
