In the meantime, I would bet than many home games will not sell out this season and virtually no away allocation will sell out.

Schards#2Woodcote RoyalSchards#2BehinduRoyal Lady my point is, if there's another 10,000+ people desperate to see us play, I'm surprised they didn't try to buy a ticket much earlier, to secure their seat.
Where did the idea that there are 10,000 people desperate to see us come from ?
The plan is to expand by 6000 to start with.
That would allow an extra 2000 away fans.
So phase 1 would give about 4000 home tickets.
They don;t need to be sold to people 'desperate' to see us play, but it would give more casual fans the chance to come and the club the chance to be more creative.
We are selling out the 24,000 seats every week, and have done for well over a season now.
What do you need as evidence that the capacity can be expanded to allow more people to come ?
Evidence that week in week out sell outs of the existing capacity will be more than a first premiership season phenomenon.
Tonight's attendance was larger than we had for our first home game of last season .
Applying your own shortsighted yardstick, surely this means demand is on the increase and that a new "phenomenon" is upon us
I've tried to be polite here but you really are a complete w@nker Woodcote.
1. There were plenty of empty seats yesterday. I presume the attendance announced includes season ticket holders who didn't turn up
2. The home tickets were sold out for the first game of last season
3. Chelsea is one of, if not THE biggest game of the season and tickets were still available a couple of days before the game. The Middlesborough game sold out long before
4. I believe I said we need evidence of sell outs "Week on week". We have had one game so far and the evidence from that is demand has fallen.
Have a day off from being the blinkered tosser you truely are and wait until you have some genuine evidence to support your assertions before replying again on this thread.

Do you mean no away allocation at the Mad Stad will sell out ?
In which case you would lose your bet.
If you mean Reading fans will not sell out their allocation for away games you may be right although what relevance it has in the debate around whether we should expand our ground is very hard to see. 3000 away tickets are sold to those who already go to every home game , not the 'new' or less committed fans that an expanded stadium would be catering for.

Nice one, Schards (one pram suffering a fall in demand for it's toys )Schards#2

You are the one who has been spouting utter nonsense about demand when the stadium continues to fill for every league game.
WHEN we fail to sell a significant number of tickets (like more than a few hundred) this MIGHT be seen as a drop in demand
Surely you are the one who should, in order to make your self look less of an idiot than is currently the case, shut up until you have ANY real evidence that demand is falling AND, most importantly, that there's any sign that we will fail regularly to sellout our current capacity and/or sell more seats when the ground has been expanded.
It's not about your bogus claims of falling demand but whether we will sell more seats with a bigger stadium AND have sufficient scope to attract new fans, which is clearly not the case as things stand
This is why I applied your ridiculous assertions to last nights attendance.
Back in the real world, The Mad Stad was soldout last night, as was the case for our first home match last season, not to mention the corresponding fixture of the last campaign.
In fact, back in the real world, the vast majority of home league matches have sold our for the last season and a half with fluctuations amounting to no more than a few hundred and generally attributable to the number of away fans etc.
So, back in the real world, the Chairman and his merry band of "blinkered tossers" feel that existing demand dictates that expansion is required.
Meanwhile, one selfish East Stand STH, who probably still believes the sun shines out of Nicky Forster's backside, begs to differ..........................
But keep posting, Schards, things could be quiet on the work front for the next few weeks and this is becoming more entertaining with every passing sellout

Quite obviously, i'm referring to the allocation Reading fans receive for Reading away games.
There will not sell as rapidly as they did last year because demand for Reading football tickets from Reading fans has, on all available evidence, fallen from last year.

Schards#2 Lets try an example:
Game one: Capacity is 24,000. 9,999,999,999,999,999,999 people try and get tickets. The crowd is 24,000
Game two: Capacity is 24,000, 24,001 people try to get tickets. The crowd is 24,000.
Question: Was the demand for tickets a) higher for game one b) higher for game two or c) the same for both games

As it stands it's impossible to say.

Despite a bigger crowd that 12 months ago and against the same opponents, it has not.

No it isn't. There has been less demand for tickets both home and away than last year. It is, however, early in the season and it is possible this may change. Time will tell.Behindu I'm beginning to think Frimley has taken control of Schard's keyboard. Why?
The point that we ought to think carefully about the expansion is a fair and reasonable one. Yes it is
The 'evidence' being concocted to back the point up is a big up destined to fail

What is clear is that when people won't accept the fact that 9,999,999,999,999 people going after 24,000 tickets represents a greater demand than 24,001 people going after 24,000, it's time to take a step back and wonder whether it's worth bothering to continue the discussion.
