Away leg is sold out.

Got to say i'm a little surprised that Reading's support has atrophied so much that we can't sell out a play-off game. But who cares tbh.

Could be that Swansea didn't take all their allocation and segregation rules meant it had to be left empty.

It is a bit strange. The floating supporters obviously aren't too bothered about this one.

Perhaps it hasn't been promoted enough. Do people even know Reading are in the play-offs? Maybe RFC's marketing team are a little complacent and have failed to reach out into the community sufficiently.

Or they've just renewed their family's season tickets and are saving money so they can afford Wembley tickets for the family if we get through.

Not everyone has available credit.

The economy? I dunno. All I do know is the people who show up to support them team tonight will compensate for the missing 3,000.

Hmm, not sure I buy the whole financial argument because loads of teams supported by paupers get massive crowds eg. Newcastle or Sheffield Wednesday

50+ tickets remaining with 3 days of sales = away leg will sell out. 3K tickets remaining with 24hrs of sales = home leg will not sell out

Timed at 13:21 PM Friday (away tickets) & close of business last night (home tickets)

See - I can write in a big font too

Am I missing something here ..... because I thought that the sales figure the club gives to us wouldn't include the away sales, so with 21,000 sold, plus the 2,000 away fans = 23,000. Only 1,000 tickets not sold ...... :?

Other than Dirk having a fit (I can hear his screams of anguish from here) - this can only be a good thing (although Ratty tends to nullify this problem at half time).

With our history in the playoffs I can't really blame them especially as money is short, I myself wouldn't be going if it wasn't for my very generous Fiance paying for me.

Half of me really doesn't wanna go still, I don't think I can bare walking home after yet another playoff defeat!
