Sorry was that all for me or was the second bit a free for all?

Anyway, I'll try move this on again as someone can't :wink:

I think it wasn't particularly well played by the club but Reading fans do need to wake up that they can't have everything there own way. What I mean by this is that Reading clearly state why they played it cautiously regarding allocation - the replay last year at Liverpool goes quite some way in vindicating this caution.

If we look at the nature of the way Reading have acted, cautious as I said, in a wider context - surely after all the initial disappointment facing Reading fans - I hope most can reconcile with their actions. Remembering that we are proud that the club continue to invest a lot of effort into making this club self-sufficient, a business designed to avoid scenarios like Plymouth and scares like at Portsmouth. Bringing it back to this issue, prudence dictated them to take this path and I for one, in the long run, am content that the Club make sensible decisions.



....If you're still 'smarting', why not chill out, watch it on TV or buy a ticket in the home end. [Directed at no-one in particular!]


This cost cutting is all well and good but both my patience and rumblestix are wearing decidedly thin. I'm not certain they'll take another pounding like they did at the Middlesborough game. When are the club going to stop penny pinching and supply us with re-issues?

Tails the replay last year at Liverpool goes quite some way in vindicating this caution.

I'm sure the major difference between this game and Liverpool is that this game is on a Sunday, Not a Tuesday night. Also worth factoring in is that it had snowed hard before the game. Most traveled to the game unsure whether the game was defiantly on or not and others may not have wanted to travel in those wintery conditions.


Plus ITV not ESPN and we were absolute dog poo before we went there. Quarter final not 3rd round another factor.

If the club wanted to compare with similar fixtures, I hope they took our last away FA Cup QF into account. Does anyone know how many we took to Swansea in 1927?

I know theres a lot of hype on here, baring in mind i dunno like 40 people are interested in man city tickets.

But isnt it true that even on general sale, we couldnt sell out our allocation of 2,500 against QPR away on a saturday afternoon. In my opinion our most attractive away day, against the best team in the league, wearing their blue and white hoops, we only managed to take i think like 2,420.

I know theirs free travel, but its still a long trip on a smelly coach. Maybe we wont sell out tonight people, anyone ever thought of that?

Do you have less than 600 points, is this wishful thinking?
