Royal Lady The young lad just in front of us appeared to have brought his Liverpool supporting grandad to the game yesterday, in place of his mother. After the first goal the old bloke clapped and appeared very happy with the goal. No-one around us said anything, and I didn't notice what he did after their second goal. I know it does happen that people who can't make it let a friend have a ticket, and to be fair, grandad wasn't wearing a liverpool scarf or anything - but people really should be slightly more careful as to who they allow their tickets to go to.
When we were at the Man Utd league game at Old Trafford, four Man Utd fans were thrown out for sitting in the away end, just in front of us.
IMHO it is just plain wrong, and people such as 2-0, who would snatch someone's hand off for a ticket, are daft if they think there's no problem with "away" supporters having tickets that a Reading fan (albeit possibly a "plastic" one) could have had.
Sorry RL I am not snatching anyones hand off for a ticket at the moment, I have seen a few games this season, could have gone to all home games had I wanted to, i decide not to, nad follow from home pub or radio.
However your point sticks that ppl should be careful who they give tickets to if they are not RFC fans, sounds like the old chap in front of you might have follwed LFC for many a year and was a treat from his grandson perhaps.
Man U fans managing to get ticks in the away end at OT does seem an extremely selfish thing for someone to have done as well.
