I'd ask Tredder to open a book on who will have the last word on this thread but i doubt anyone would be alive to collect.

Woodcote is a bit like Heelas and is never knowingly undersold.

I'd have a fiver on Schards great grand child - assuming certain traits are genetic.

The same could be said for yours.

Biggins from Oxon should have the final say.

the crowd yesterday was ok, but there seemed to be a hell of a lot of empty seats, more than 2000??

Probably taken an early Xmas holiday. Or something.

Let's not dwell on the 'has demand fallen' argument anymore, as I think there's only one person left who still doesn't accept this fact and his ability to think objectively is well documented.

Moving on, yesterday was a Premiership game, it was kids for a quid, the cost of membership cards has been removed and it still didn't sell out to home fans.

Given that we are looking very likely to be relegated at some stage, does this not put a question mark in anyone's mind?

Given that we are looking very likely to be relegated at some stage, does this not put a question mark in anyone's mind?

Given that we are going to be in a relegation struggle the doubt has to be can we bounce straight back up should we go down and can we fill the extra 6k in the Chumpionship?

It is now going to be a real test of Mr Mad's nerves, having taken the club to The Prem as was his goal, a lot of the blame on relegation will lie at his door, we have seen how we will not pay the wages to attract and keep players.

We have seen how money is really rather important to him, and we have seen him keep saying how he wants to sell the club to take it too the next level.

All further reasons not to want to sign for Reading.

FWIW I believe if we go down we will struggle, crowds will fall back to about the 15k level, and The Prem which was for so long a dream will be a distant memory, but at least the club will be on a solid finacial foundation as we did not spend all the loot trying to stay in the Prem.

It will be nice to be little old reading again, and thats all we really are.

It can't possibly have been. I didn't hear thousands of 8 year olds counting down the seconds at the end of each half. Or doing the "You're shit aaah" chant (but without the "shit" bit) everytime the Middllesbrough keeper took a goal kick.

I think you must be mistaken.

Or, perhaps, the fact that it was still exhorbitantly expensive for adults meant the promotion was a crushing failure.

I assumed it was the infrastructure around the stadium, causing traffic delays which lasted 90 minutes and prevented several thousand people from attending.

A lot of it was peeople with STs who were damn good judges of football and decided to skip this one.

It's noticeable that the West half of the South stand didn't have any gaps in at all - the spaces were sporadically around the ST areas, with a great big gap in the away area, of course.

Along with the regular large empty spaces at the south end of the upper west

Judging by the masses of empty seats in the Upper west even the prawn sarnies are not sufficient temptation. Expansion is as dead as Mr Dodo.

which is the "new" hospitality area put in this season. Â£200 for a seat there for the Liverpool game next weekend!
