Para HandySvlad Cjelli FTR and apropos not very much, there are 247 Loyal Royals at Portman Road tonight.
Agreed Dirk. It's apropos of not very much. I'm not at Portman Road and neither will I be at City. However, having been a Season ticket holder ever since we've been at Madejski and a fan for much longer than that (although I realise that's not really relevant) I would have liked the "reasonable" opportunity to buy a ticket for the Cup game over fans that have not been so loyal. The last two seasons tickets have yielded what.. around 510 points. You wouldn't have had to be a fan for too long to accumulate 600 points. I don't think banding at 1600 to 600 is fair. I'm kind of tired of repeating it though.
To address TFF's points as well. I'd agree that Royalty points system is not fantastic. However, it's the system in place at the moment. Whilst I can see that it may benefit you personally to be able to buy in a wider band, I'd be very pissed off to be one of the fans queuing at the Stadium this morning with more points than your family only to find out that they sold out. FWIW I agree with your point about the 5 year cutoff tho.
I'm guessing that those die hards at Ipswich will all have had the opportunity to buy a ticket and for that I wish them well. No quibbles at all about that.

Para Handy What I'm moaning about (yes, moaning) even though I can't go is the disgraceful decision about banding. Have I made that clear to you all? Once it was realised that we wouldn't get more tickets which imho should have been about, er, Wednesday morning, the club should have adjusted the banding.

No Fixed Abode Don't worry. I'm sure some of you will see Matt Mills girlfriend in the away end who doesn't even own a season ticket.

Royal Tezza Whats the craic with the home end then? Where are we all going for? I quite fancy going in the top tier, £17.50 apparently and hopefully less chance of getting head kicked in/kicked out. Which side is closest to the away support? And is it easy to order the tickets? Will they be available for collection at the ground (don't trust the post). Ta.

Harpers So Solid Crew So if MAn C had offered RFC a third tier of 3000 seats at £17-50 at a cost of 52500 should they have taken it?
Personally I do not think that we could have sold an additional 3000 seats, possibly another 1200 to 1500

West Stand ManThames Very good points Hoop Blah - especially the 7,000 odd we took to Highbury on a cold midweek night.
I'll be in the away end getting behind the team on Sunday and I'm still angry at the club. I dread to think what those who have missed out our thinking.
I think we should also spare a thought for those who were unable to get tickets online in the early hours (perhaps the elderly or less computer literate people) who would have jumped straight on the phone at 9am or worse still arrived at the ticket office.
We should've know something like this was going to happen. Further evidence that Madejski is a great businessman but not the man you want running your football club! Move on John.
That wouldn't be a different Highbury to the one that is much closer than anything in Manchester then would it?

bigmike Everyone keeps going on about how we could have sold 5000+ I actually doubt that without the free transport issue this would be possible..
I personally think that we would have struggled to sell out a block of 5000
