Scrappy IIRC this is the kind of time when there are GCSEs and SATs going on and if the game does go to extra time and penalties then it isn't good preparation for the day after.


:lol: @ the worst excuse ever for a failure to sell out.

Dirk Gently
Jerry St Clair 24 hours to go and plenty of tickets left on general sale.

Have we ever failed to sell-out a play off game?


I'd think there are two reasons for this. Firstly, a lot of people expect it to be another dire home performance, and so aren't going - but apart from that people have seen the prices for Wembley tickets - serious money, especially if you have a family to take - and they're saving their money.
They'll be pretty well off come about 9.35 tomorrow evening then. :wink:

Allegedly, it is possible to buy more than one ticket on a ST for this game.

Can the last person on earth who thinks the ground should be expanded please close the door on the way out.

I know of a couple of plastics who aren't going tomorrow because they feel 'let down' by the team.

One game? That's nothing. Some of us sat our exams in the same month that the world cup was on in Mexico, with games starting at 11pm every might. Now that is less than ideal preparation.

Unfortunately that's what did it for me and my kid. She has SATs this week and she's not quite enough of a Reading fan to bugger those up in favour of 2 hours of chewed fingers. But by god we're desperate for a trip to Wembley instead! Please lads, PLEASE!

One seat left in Y25 V0214

Y26 27 seats
Y24 5 seats
Y23 4 seats
Y22 1 seat
Y21 28 seats
Y20 30 seats
Y19 72 seats

Almost all single seats tho.

lenty in the South at the top and down the bottom, middle has sold well. Seems the fans have a preference t areas, and are not agreeing that all seats are equal.


PS Woddcotes seat HAS been sold :wink:

& I for one would be very happy to see them all too. The more of them there are, the more chance we have of paying top dollar for some quality Prem experience. All the Real Royals already have their STs anyway so it doesn't affect them...

Totally agree, this club will find it hard to survive on 24k crowds in the prem, unless someone threw money att he club, and in all honesty why would someone do that?

22,000 tonight would be no great shame. Especially when our home form is as crap as it is, and we haven't played good football at home for months!

If we went up and we stayed there, yeah the capacity increase would be a must IMO. To 30,000 but stop there. No need to do more than expand the East Stand. That would be our max IMO.

Disappointing, but before we start beating ourselves up about this, it's maybe worth noting that Sheffield United couldn't sell all their tickets for last night. A sign of the times!

Yes, but their ground holds over 30,000.
