The Godfather

Ditto Stu, same old **** from the ticket office.

I think around 25000 tops as its on TV and the cost of tickets.

I vote we re-elect santa claus as he's doing great job running our club, lots of presents going to rival outfits and not passing on benefits to its long term customers.

Lets be honest players like Lallana & Surman if they are sold to a prem club in January they will not be anywhere near regular first teamers, bench at very best. If a club want a player that badly they're not buying them for the FA Cup.

The highest the prices will be are the current ticket prices as we can't make them higher.

This is one of the first things I've ever partly agreed with Lowe. It makes sense because alot people will assume we making milllions from this match and we're not. It all helps but if things don't improve in January interms of reducing the overdraft and the wage bill again ( returning loaness on high wages) then we've only one option but to sell players.

I can see the Mancs getting the whole of the northern end 5-6000 tickets. Charge everybody £20 and whether we're on tv or not we'll get a good crowd.

Its nice for managers and players of teams to praise us after we have actually won the match rather than get praised when we've lost the game ie. the Wolves game.

We had this in our first season in the championship, managers and players of other clubs praising the way we play but it doesn't win you matches.

This will be Readings biggest crowd of the season and according to their website we have sold the vast majority of our 4000 tickets.

They do sell on the day but only if we don't sell out first. See the article on the OS today.

Good move, its only a month and will give him good experience of playing league football.

Should be a reasonable crowd on Saturday against Wolves but only because they will bring a few down with them.

They still won't get a game though under portaloo, thats why John went on loan because he wasn't given regular starts with the wage he's on. Saga & Rasiak will either sold or loaned out again to get them of the wage bill.

They are on loan until 31st December with no recall agreement.

Not surprised after the bother with their fans in town last season.

Their's a big chance that Boothroyd will end up as QPR manager.

Good that we got defender on loan but we need a right back, its obvious to me that James isn't good enough in that position and although suggested in this thread that Cork can play their, it isn't his best position (centre back or midfield).

Perhaps Rupert Lowe & co would like to address the fans with the true nature of our financial situation rather than for us to rely on the rumour mill and statements on the OS from players. We can probaly guess we are up **** creek financially but this is just another bad PR stunt by our dictator.

His biggest achievement is being a traitor and a ass.

Same old crap from JP I'm afraid, we played some nice football blah, blah, blah. Thats all very well but if we continue to get well beaten most weeks,we might aswell go into adminstration and take the deduction in points. Theirs nothing wrong with playing the kids but they've got no confidence and its alright JP continuing with this formation but its only heading one way, the difference to last season is that their is no fight in the team, and thats very worrying.

Basically it means that lallana & Surman will be off in January plus anybody else we receive a reasonable bid for. Great ploy by Lowe to let Portaloo play Skacel now, so he can be put in the shop window come January.

Your never make the station..

That means we've broken his contract and is now available on a free transfer......

They haven't exactly made ground breaking move since they've gone to Coventry.
