Yeovil v Brentford was definitely the win-win final for us Royals. A good away day whichever comes up, would personally like Yeovil so I can tick another ground off, but would definitely be in for a return to Griffin Park.

Don't really understand why anyone would particularly want us to miss out on 2 games against Swindon.

Purely selfish reason that it's easier for me to get to Brentford and I know a few Reading fans in the Ealing area.

Because a day out at Brentford is infinitley preferable to having to go to Wiltshire obviously

Who cares about Swindon? Swindon away is vastly inferior to Brentford away, one of the most enjoyable places to go to.

Ditto. (Well, not mine, but the Mrs and literally all of her extended family) Hence me going to a lot of games.

Apart from anything if you're going to manufacture a rivalry have it with a club that's closer and has a historical basis, ie all the Brentford emigrés in the 'ding area

Agreed, but crap away end now we're in the two tier shed.

Ok, let me explain the sentiment to which I was addressing that remark:

If you prefer Brentford as a trip, fair enough. I have a bit of a soft spot for Brentford as I know a few of their fans, so I'm happy to see them in the final.
But I don't wish failure upon Swindon, at least not their failure to win promotion this year.

Looking forward to Palace v Brighton tonight.
A derby play-off semi final. Not much better than that is there? Reminds me of Wolves v West Brom a few years back.

Away fans turning up without ID face not being let in, and any occurrences of trying anybody trying to use somebody else's ticket will see both the seller and purchaser banned for a year...

What a goal.
Leicester equalise straight away. 1-2 on aggregate, the tie has finally opened up.

Vydra has found his form then...
The look on Pearsons face when Kane just smashed that free kick over 
Bloody hell
