The club should have tweeted last night of early this morning saying how many left...

Nameless Given there is apparantly no limit to how many you buy has anyone tried asking for 500 and seen what happens ?

When I had selected 1 each per card, it said I had one over my allocation.

parky Thinking we may have just gone over the initial allocation.

If it's saying that for you it may be in your basket

Nothing there. Thinking we have sold that area of the stand and they are now adding the rest. I hope.......

We've just sold the initial allocation and are in the process of sorting with Bradford for more. Should be done within the hour.

Well done Reading fans - that's a pretty impressive buy-in.

Would only let me get 1 with my member card, so not so sure that it's possible for more than 1.

I wonder if it's a case of we sold a shed load in that half hour or if there wasn't many left starting this morning. I like to think it's the former.

Well that explains why the Bradford game has disappeared from the online selection. Hoping the next lot goes up quickly and sees us through today.

And at the Bradford end all ticket sales are currently suspended. Presumably under FA rules though that won't apply to sales in the Midland Road stand as we are entitled to approx 4000 and have only sold 2700 so far.

The club at the moment cannot get through to Bradford. Nobody is answering the phone. I see Bradford selling the rest of our allocation and not letting us have any more.

Pretty sure they can't do that as we're entitled to 15% are we not?

We are entitled to request 15%. If we didn't request it, it may be tough luck......

Correct, that would put them in breach of FA rules, unless Reading screwed that up by failing to ask for the full allocation up front. Punishment on that would presumably be a meaningless fine though.

That won't happen due to what has been agreed - breach of contract

But in that case what's the delay in selling the rest?

We definitely have 15% and I suspect if Bradford try and sell any of our allocation to their own fans they will be in big trouble.
How have Bradford screwed up so badly ? Selling to touts before STH is bizarre and with 2 weeks to go to the game they can have no excuses for rushing sales. They must be praying there isn't a replay.....

Confirmation I guess.

Out of politeness letting Bradford know what we are having so they can plan the rest around it. (according to their forum they haven't realised other areas of the ground yet)
