Bucks Saint Posted 10 October, 2011 Share Posted 10 October, 2011 Usually buy online but as it was "sold out" I tried the phone and got them fine. Had a nice chat with the telephone office lady too, so well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means we have allready sold 3700 - let's hope due to the late kick off ( extra lager ) that everyone stands and makes a shed load of noice.

dune Posted 11 October, 2011 Share Posted 11 October, 2011 (edited) Stadium?!! i meant the train station... cheers A brisk 15 minute walk i've been told from a Rams fan I know. He told me it's less of a walk than the station in nottingham to the city ground (notts forest). Edit: Thought you were on about Derby (thread title should have been a clue), but will leave post up as we're playing DCFC soon.

Sour Mash Posted 11 October, 2011 Share Posted 11 October, 2011 Stadium?!! i meant the train station... cheers Too far to walk from town/station to the ground. Free shuttle buses are laid on from the station to the ground, but are a pain in my opinion and obviously not the quickest, so I'd recommend a cab. The police try to shove all Saints fans in the Three Guineas at the station. The pub itself is fine, but a) like all pubs its not fun when its packed and you spend ahalf your day trying to get to and from the bar; b) You don't want to spend the whole day stuck in one pub. My advice would be to try and get to Reading early and have a walk around, plenty of half decent pubs dotted round the place, then jump in a cab down to the ground.

Neil Posted 11 October, 2011 Share Posted 11 October, 2011 As had been pointed out that bus from station to ground may be ok earlier on in the afternoon, but even if you get in the queue for it over an hour before KO you may be cutting it fine. Especially at c4-4.30 on a Saturday alvo. Missed the KO a few years back (the Bradley Wright Phillips game) despite having got in the bus queue quite early. Following earlier advice, head to Madejski a bit early for some beers, or preferaby drink in Reading then late cab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 11 October, 2011 Share Posted 11 October, 2011 Bought tickets this morning.Three travelling from Cheltenham - spare seat if Rupert Lowe wants a lift. Next problem - any sensible parking near the Madcow Stadium, or is it best to abandon the car on the hardshoulder along the M4 ? Not been to this ground although made a few trips to see Saints play at Elm Park ( 0-0 1978,good atmosphere,plenty of trouble in one corner of the ground *, 1-0 1988 Le Tiss in the FA Cup, and the 3-1 defeat in 96 when two were sent off). * bloke being led out from the Saints end by Police,and his wooden leg fell off.

Remember that '96 one played on an ice rink, Souness was bleating about that game going ahead, we could't handle the chilly conditions!

Always got a bit tasty at the end of that side terrace next to the away terrace, always trying to kick off in that corner... Yes, it was about the only game played that day after an arctic blast. Right up to 2.30 I was expecting it to be called off. Can't blame the conditions though, we were 1-0 up,and although not in control, looked comfortable until Benali needlessly gave away a penalty by elbowing one of their bastards in the face off the ball for it to come back to 1-1. Remember Slater sent off in the last couple of minutes for abusing a linesman. The terace was the southbank, a gathering place for their adolescent plebs.

Bucks Saint Posted 12 October, 2011 Share Posted 12 October, 2011 Next problem - any sensible parking near the Madcow Stadium, or is it best to abandon the car on the hardshoulder along the M4 ? There is an official car park at the ground, but that is it for some miles around. It is on a business park-type location, a couple of miles out from the town centre and right next to the motorway. The official car park is a decent size and very handy, just dont count on leaving in a hurry afterwards, it will take some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beg forgivness, just seen this on the Away forum, much better informed than me on parking. (I never drive to away games, thats my excuse): Parking at Reading is as follows: Map: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/staticFiles/2f/8c/0,,10306~166959,00.pdf Instructions from their web site: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/TravelParking/0,,10306~592842,00.html Foster Wheeler, Shinfield Park, 500 spaces Free to park This involves a short bus ride to and from the stadium. Fares on return bus shuttle are £4 adult return and £2.50 child return. Free parking. Directions: from J11, M4, take exit B3270 (signposted Earley) and follow yellow signs to "Match Reading FC Park & Ride ". This is the best option for away supporters. Greyhound / Speedway Stadium site, 500 spaces £8 per car Five minutes walk to the Stadium. Access off the A33 at the Bennet Road roundabout. Worton Grange, formerly HP Invent, 1000 spaces £8 per car Seven minutes walk to the Stadium. Directions: From M4, go toward Reading and turn right at the first roundabout on the A33. There is no right turn into the car park - you must turn left after approaching from Basingstoke Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
