I hope to god it's not like a lot of games where we have a big following and some are sat down and don't sing. If you are behind me and telling me to sit down next Saturday you will be told in no uncertain terms to **** off.

 

And I shall be having a party no matter what the score as we all expect to lose.

Normally I average 20+ games a season. This is my first game this season; and I have been pushed into going to this. Just a total waste of money. LOWE OUT.

Well i got my tickets on Friday. looking forward to this one!

 

Looks like they're selling the tickets behind the goal now as we're in block R30 (Row F)

Always amazes me how they sell the worst tickets to those who buy early. I'm in R27.

However did they think up those clever names to all their stands anyway?

If there are any tickets left, does anyone know if Reading will allow away fans to buy on the day?

 

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

Yeah me too! I heard that a pub called three guineas is a good one for away fans but I very much doubt that it has the capacity of 3000 lol! Does anyone else know of any decent pubs that we could get into failing we cant get in there??

The 3 Guineas Pub is right next to the station. I am the 9:47 from Basingstoke so going ot head straight there I think. Are many others going to this pub or another pub?

Yep saw that on South Today, all rather sad.

 

Getting back to the game, I'm in R28 row 5, I will be anywhere except that seat.

Can anyone give me any information as to what time train is best to get up there and how long it is likely to take to get from Readings ground to the station on the way back , so i can book the train tickets in advance ?

Hi mate I would allow plenty of time to get back to the station if I was you,it could take as much as 1 and half hours to get back to the sation, we are booked on the 7.45pm back to Soton, if we get back early then in the pub.

Hopefully most people are aware of this sad news; it has been on the national and local news over the last couple of days.

 

It looks like a tribute may be paid at the game on Saturday, the form of this has yet to be announced.

 

RIP Stewart.

having had our own share of sad news (as a club) lately, i think we can all relate to this and i hope that ALL our fans show Reading FC and this lad's family the respect they deserve.....

 

i will be there (block r28) am hoping for a great result, but not actually expecting one!! :D..........

It will be good to see the away end full for once this season - I remember you grouching about only getting 2,300 tickets last time you came down, and also mocking our 24,000 attendance as it was our record league crowd at the time - how times have changed eh?

 

It will also be interesting to see whether this manifests into the local 'rivalry' that South Today would like to have us believe.

 

I imagine that we will start with the same team that beat Sheffield United last week, on the lines of "it it ain't broke, don't mend it" principle. And this season it certainly isn't broken...

 

As I'm sure you know, Alex Pearce has been with you for the last few weeks. Suggestions on the Reading forum are that he will be giving away some of your secrets (such as where the missing 17,000 fans are, and who has been keeping your trophy cabinet key for the last 30 years), but also what your defensive frailties are, and where you're most potent attacking (When he's on the pitch).

 

It has also been suggested that you will know a little more about us, other than that this season we've scored 6 times as many goal as our opponents at home, and we've averaged 3 goals a game...

 

Last time we played, as I'm sure you remember, we were a handful of matches from winning the Championship, and a 2-0 win on a Friday night at the Madejski saw us take another 3 points.

 

I'm looking forwards to this one, what are your thoughts on it?

 

I also think we'll win, but that might just be because I'm me...

Haven't seen it mentioned but Reading look set to hold a minutes silence/applause for 13-year old Acadamy Goalkeeper Stewart McEwan who sadly died on Saturday after a terrible canoeing accident.

Yes, something that's shocked everybody at the club. They've not decided exactly how they want to do it, but I'm sure the family will have decided by the weekend. Our thoughts are with him.

Hubris is spot on. Funny how there are few replies to your post! - your team and supporters are viewed as a joke by us. Short lived arrogance hey, make the most of it.

Loving Winchester the Reading fans arrogance, funny stuff. Ahh reading, such a forced and sudden rise to glory, such a plastic fanbase. I cant imagine being a reading fan, yea it must be nice to be winning matches, but to be surrounded by ******s, small children and people who know nowt about football week in, week out must be..hard to bare!

 

Yeah i'm going to this one too, had to borrow money for it as I don't get paid till next week...going for the atmospheer not the game! (he says covering up the fact hes ****ting him self!)

 

We even sing when we're losing lately tho sooo... :)

 

Up the saints!

Got our tickets this afternoon. Managed to get three together, so I guess there must be a fair few left.

They sell them in a specfic order for away games, it's not as if you get a choice. Hence, you are always able to get X together. Unless they sell out and find the odd one left, which very rarely happens. The fact you can get 3 together is an indicator of nothing.

R31 shows that its reasonably far along, so atleast 1/6 of tickets left. so about 600.

when Harry was in charge we threw away the Leeds game. Got huge grief from a kid at school. Dyed in the wool Leeds fan. Last seen with a blue and white hooped shirt with Waitrose on the front. Funny I thought Leeds played in all white!

Very sad. Heard about it from my daughter's friend, who attends Maiden Erleigh School. She'd received a phone call on Sunday saying that someone in her year had died at Tirabad.

With a fanbase that's halved in 4 years, the comment about plastic is rather rich coming from a saints fan.

Half of the fans inside the Madjeski are United or Chelsea fans, went there a couple of years back, saw a group of lads in manchester united, chelsea, arsenal shirts. This was for Reading Vs Saints!

From the fall in attendances at St Mary's it sounds like the same could have been said of the Saints 'fans' of a couple of years ago - except maybe they were more discrete about it.

You're probably right to be fair, it was just the first place i saw it.

Phoned yesterday and was put on a list as the original coaches had sold out, but got a call today to say there was more interest so they've put on more coaches.

 

May want to book tickets for the match in advance as they're nearing selling out.
