Royal Prince I'm saying no.

It is a new ground, it is relatively close, and we are playing well but...

...It's a Tuesday bloody night and it's sandwiched between West Ham & Southampton which are both a day trippers paradise!



3K tickets for Wham sold in very short order to high Points holders would suggest a lot of "daytrippers" won't have got tickets, so you can breathe easily. :|

How were the Donny/Barnsley/Peterboro trips for you?


Think you may have misunderstood me somewhat, perhaps because I used the buzz phrase "daytrippers" which in no way do I mean to be derogatory. My point in answer to the OP is alot of Reading fans will be attending the slightly more convenient and eye catching West Ham and Southampton ties, so those on a tight budget or that can't spare the time to make the majority of away trips are likely to pick and choose those two games at the opportunity cost of Brighton.

Donny and Peterborough were midweek so couldn't make them due to work and I couldn't be arsed with Barnsley but thanks for asking.

So, daytrippers is used solely as a derogatory term in football, but you couldn't find a better word to use to fit your point? OK, so I've latched onto it a bit sharpish, but I still don't see how people attending the big two games can be described as daytrippers when we all know you need big points to stand a chance of a ticket and "hardcore" fans aren't going to miss out to casual flask-carriers (not my term).

Just ordered tickets for this (as had to wait for bluddy friends), but just got the conformation through and it says were all sat in the same seat, row 30 seat 48. Also in purchase history on the ticket website it says "allocated seperatly".
Anyone had this before? Or should we be expected to be split up everywhere
Thanks
