Hoop Blah So is demand looking higher than people (including the ticket office thought?).

Still not worth staggering the sales in order to give priority to those who go more often than not?

Seems a bit off that the system starts selling tickets before the advertised time. As Dirk says, at least this will favour those few who know the system pretty well and so might give proper fans a bit of an advantage.


I agree, seems a bit unfair to start selling early. Still, I've got mine, so pull the ladder up Jack.

In of course, but the old server was creaking at 9am this morning - it took a good 10 minutes to get in. It was like the olden days of dial up.

There is still tickets left so I would be surprised if someone who wanted them doesn't get any.

I usually travel to Reading by train from North Camp, but The Train Line is saying 'bus' when I put in the times request. Is there a problem on the line this weekend does anyone know?

There's something wrong between Brum and Oxford on the Sunday.

Which is kind of funny.

I'm where I usually go, so on the North side of the North Aisle towards the back. Only sat infront of the screen once. 0-6 vs Bristol Rovers. Never going back.
