Green Again, can you define "grief"?

Annoyance because the person sitting next to you has a different affiliation to you? Why does it matter? Literally every other sport this isn't an issue.

Lose the tribal mindset and grow up.


That's not the point though is it. The fact that some people will kick off means there is a greater chance of trouble in the stands, where there might be kids nearby.

Until they allow mixed seating then the fans need to be segregated.

Jerry St Clair If you're an adult and you're getting upset because people who support a different team to you celebrate when they score a goal, you need to have a word with yourself.


Go up to Leeds and do the same in their stands when we score an 87th min winner and explain that sentiment to them. Good luck with that.

Give them enough tickets (allowing for home supporters demand) would be the best idea, after that only due diligence by all parties will prevent too much trouble. Leeds do it everywhere and cause grief, they're a pain in the backside.

You've changed your tune Green. I remember you and LUX chucking roofing tiles at that bus load of Arsenal and running them out of Euston - that time in the Bree Louise.

LUX had them "on loan" from the church.

Going through turnstiles with signs above it saying home fans only would indicate that those away fans doing so are not really welcome to do so. If someone objects non-violently and to a steward that they don't want them in there, what's the outcome? Either the stewards and police act and throw them out or some folks will take it into their own hands to do it.

Think there was a bunch of Leeds at Barnsley who got in the home end.........the result was a few blood stained scruffy blokes getting separated then thrown out. Lose the social ideology and get down on planet earth and you have to deal with what is not what you think people should be.

Interesting statistics below. Your attendances are getting smaller and you reduce the away allocations at the same time. Moving three hundred or so fans into the South Stand is not making good business sense. Not only is it a lose of revenue for the club but it is also has an impact in lost revenue to the local businesses in the town of Reading in food, drinks, hotel rooms taxis etc etc.

Reading v Leeds 2019/20 - Attendance: 16,918 (2,050 away)
Reading v Leeds 2018/19 - Attendance: 17,101 (2,071 away).
Reading v Leeds 2017/18 - Attendance: 19,770 (3,467 away)
Reading v Leeds 2016/17 - Attendance: 23,055 (3,546 away)

Maybe Leeds just aren't the attraction that you think you are.

Let's face it If you were still a big club then the home end would be full like it is when your Man Uniteds, your Chelseas and your Liverpools come to visit.

"Moving three hundred or so fans into the South Stand is not making good business sense". I don't know the exact figure but it's quite a bit more than 300
