Reading vs. Steaua Bucharest - Friendly Match - 26.07.1995

[mingul]

Hello to all, my name is Vlad, and I am Romanian football collector of tickets and programmes and a passionat football historian. I have started working on a project in the past year regarding my favorite club's (Steaua Bucharest) friendlies throughout the years. Having done a bit of research, I have found out that Steaua played a a friendly match against Reading on the 25th of July 1995. The reason I am writing to your forum is to kindly ask if perhaps some of the older fans have been to that match, since I am interested very much in more information about it.

I have managed to find the programme of the match (which is in my collection) but at this moment I would also be delighted to find a ticket stub from that game. Furthermore, any photos or video highlights would be absolutely wonderful since I have never seen anything from this match.

Looking forward for a reply and a help from a fellow football collector,

Thank you in advance,
Vlad

Thanks a lot for the message
I am actually trying to find out if tickets were printed, because I know that sometimes in the 90s, no tickets were issued, or it was pay-at-the-gate etc.

Thanks a lot to the people who are helping me with my research!

[floyd__streete]

No tickets. At a guess, the crowd would have been sub-5,000. At Elm Park it was rare for tickets to be printed for matches, 98% of the time would be cash on the turnstiles.

That is a bit something I was afraid of. But who knows Read something on the other thread regarding a leaflet

On ebay I found this which gave some hope in writing on your forum:

I was there, but I don't have anything from the match I'm afraid. I don't recall there being tickets. Not sure there was even a programme

I dont know why I let myself get surprised every time this board gets even worse, but Ive only gone and done it again. I pity any football team that has to play in front of you bag of tools....oh.

Thank you so much Dave_Royal, I believe there is the slimmest chance possible for such an old ticket, but I highly appreciate the help.
I managed to find recently a ticket from Sunderland-Steaua (1996) and I have both tickets from the Ibrox International tournament which took place a few days after the friendly against Reading so hopes built up. By far I believed that my only chance would be to find somebody who actually went to the game. The information that tickets might not have been issued is also very useful for me

Thanks a lot everybody for the kind reception and for not trolling my passion and my research.
