AthleticoSpizz Gordons Cumming Only sold 4,000 tickets approx. Expecting 6000.
Bit sad really.
should be more than the 6k
However, given Parkys 18/19k turnout on the back of a "promotion season", it maybe highlights the mindset of many Reading fans.
Still, its their money, their choice and their reasons not to attend.
Me? I am absolutely looking forward to seeing some of our ex's who got us to that 2005/2006 season.....and fair play to them for making the effort to attend!
I'm going for a bit of a chat with mates I only see at football, and to ease myself back into the football routine.
Friendlies are like that first 10 minutes at work in the moring, where you flick through your email, shuffle a few things around on your desk, make a cup of coffee, chat about what was on tv last night, rather than getting down to any real work.
Nobody goes to friendlies to get really into the match, as the matches are seldom any good. saying that, somehow they are never boring in the way that a dull league match is, probably because there's no frustration of dropping points etc. I went to Kettering, for example, and it was just a nice little day out. With the social club at the ground directly overlooking the pitch from its beer tent, it was like an afternoon in the pub, but with a match thrown in.
