bigshaka'away' Now this has bothered me for a while, but a number of my friends don't support Reading (one can't account for taste) but like football and want to come along with me occasionaly to watch Reading attempt to pass the ball. However they often don't as they do not see why they should have to become a member to buy a ticket, thus incuring extra cost just to come and see a team they dont really support. This money grabbing scheme by RFC obviously generates a large amount of cash in the short term (40,000 people paying to become a member = well over a million pounds) but it is very short sighted as less new people will go the games, and Reading will suffer in the long term. IT puts people off, say if you usually go to a game with a regular but one week you want you friend to come along to but he is not a member, he has to pay extra and as he is not a fan he won't and therefore the ticket remains unsold and RFC loose out just because they are trying to squeeze an extra few pounds out of everybody. And whilst I am ranting, why do i have to listen to all the game information when im trying to book a ticket before i can talk to anyone, it even tells me to visit the website etc. This is a rehtorical question, obviously they do it so you spend more money on the phone bill, but its little things like this that are slowly ruining our club..
grrrrrrrrrrr.

Stranded Neither did most people and it's £2 now.
And if there are tickets available on the day you will be sold a paper ticket.

Wycombe Royal I phoned up and got two tickets for friends on the half price offer and they were given member cards free - so there is NO additional cost.
Check your facts before making a rant.

SpaceCruiser "Buy"? Have those people ever bothered to check their facts before giving up completely?
