Yorkshire Royal Total cost of seeing Reading most likely lose = £166.
Most likely, yes. But it's that small chance of the unlikely that has cost me another £130 of my money!

Yorkshire Royal Me and Missus were planning on going:
Tickets - £76
Train (from Leeds!) - £30
Beer - £30
Food - £20
Taxi - £10
Total cost of seeing Reading most likely lose = £166. Off on hoilday in 2 weeks, that money is unfortunately spent better elsewhere..
When a trip to football just across the pennines costs that much, then really what is the point? It's a shame, as last year I desperately wanted to go, but could not get a ticket...

same here. I used to go every game I could home or away, from the mid 80s to the mid 90s, and I found it hard to understand people who didn't want to do the same.Alan Partridgerfcjoe I go to Reading games now because I want to go, it's a form of enjoyment. Not too prove i'm a better fan than person a or person b. I couldn't give a flying fcuk about any of that. If I don't want to go then i won't, simple as that. Good luck to you if you want to go to all the games, been there done that, enjoyable yet expensive.

I work very hard to be able to go to as many games as i can, i missed 4 games last season in all competions, and it p*sses me off when some people make comments like this ' paying over £100 to watch reading when they are more than likey to lose'. Why make such a comment like this???? So what if we might lose i go to the matches to back my team and to wear the hoops with pride!!! win,lose or draw.

Maybe some people can't afford to spend that much money on 90 minutes of "entertainment" and could put the money saved towards doing other things.

BLUES & ROYAL The options:-
Two tickets, (includes one for son) Petrol, programme, refreshments, parking etc. Cost in excess of £120
then you have the M6 on a Sunday night
Or down the pub for a few beers and back home for dinner at 7 with a saving of about £100.
Mmmm difficult decision

I agree. It's a good day out even if we get beat.
It took quite a lot of effort to get to Chelsea away last season. Most people on here said there's no point going to watch us lose and look what happened.
I can't go to United away, i simply can't afford to go.

Alan Partridgerfcjoe take a whiff of that plasticness....... smells good doesnt it
You'll get a good whiff of that at the people around you at the game.
Fair play if you want to spend nearly all your money on watching RFC, I've done that for a good 10 years solidly now, but it's time to say No now. Ticket prices are extortionate, it's not value for money and i have other things to do now. Not for me.
I go to Reading games now because I want to go, it's a form of enjoyment. Not too prove i'm a better fan than person a or person b. I couldn't give a flying fcuk about any of that.

Alan Partridge Personally speaking
£39 minimum
+
£20 minimum travelling to get there
+
another £20 or so on programme, beer etc
so around £80, to go to a ground i've been to twice, to see us lose.
Or
Sit in the pub for free and see it and not have to travel 3 hours home after.
yep cya.
