Man Utd replay tickets

by Drive On » 21 Feb 2007 09:45

Have been reading the now locked "Sold out" thread. Interesting how many moans there are about not getting tickets for the big games.

As a ST holder I went along to the Burnley cup game when only 11,500 turned up and you will find a large number of ST holders didn't bother. The old "I am not paying to see the second team" argument.

Will those same people be standing by their morals for the Man Utd replay or will they be hypocritical, as I strongly suspect, and turn up for the big games?

I didn't go to the Burnley game because I suspected it would be an average game at best played in a half empty stadium. Personally, I had better things to do with my time and money on a Tuesday night.

I will, however, be going to the Man Utd replay as we're playing one of the biggest teams in the world for a chance to reach the FA Cup quarter finals for the first time in my lifetime. Bit of a no brainer really.

Big-time glory-hunter :) I thought one of the main thrusts of any "real" supporter debate is that you go home and away in all weathers at all times and if you can't remember the Elm Park days, you're a plastic? I can understand wavering over an away cup-tie to Burnley, but home? Never.

2 things:

1. Burnley was (well, would have been) the first Saturday in the new Year - £20 for the game was quite steep seeing as it was just after Christmas.

2. How many people that went to Burnley weren't STH's? I doubt it was that many.

Nice bit of quote editing there to delete some of what I said.

Like I say, this was a personal preference for me as I have a life outside of Reading Football Club

As the tickets are currently on sale to Season Ticket Holders, I don't think they'll sell out until Friday morning. Well, I hope!

Depends if all STH take their seats - if they do then you're out of luck.

It's inevitable that there'll be some that don't, but I can't see there being many. I'd predict there certainly won't be any left on Friday morning.

Not the South Stand, surely!

I plan to do just that - it's just that the online service is usually shit and if I have any problems, I'd like to be able to fall back onto using the phone.

The south stand is for away supporters. Where have you been? Or are you intending to buy Man Utd tickets for this one? I think they've sold out though.
