Stand capacities

[Big Foot]

Quick one, can someone please confirm the capacity of both the East & Lower West?

Just read on online ticketing that there's 4,250 seats left in these stands for Stevenage on Saturday...

[ZacNaloen]

4350 can get in the south stand according to here http://www.readingfc.co.uk/page/Stadium ... %2C00.html.

North will be a bit more because it isn't split down the middle so say 4,400,

I always expect East to be about 8000 and lower west to be about 3.5 thousand and I'd expect 4000 to fit in the upper west

adding those figures gives a total of 24300 (when rounded to the nearest hundred)

So 8000 and 3.5 thousand with a few hundred here or there

[Big Foot]

So we've sold c. 7,250 tickets for Saturday then...surprisingly good

[ZacNaloen]

Yeh even if I'm off with my estimates we've sold a decent number of tickets

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Depending how sales are going the club should announce on friday that sales on the day are also, £12 for adults fill the place up, perhaps get a few that had not thought of gong in. Add Stevenage sales to that and I would guess we are looking at over 10k as it stands, £12 on the day might mean 13k

I can't see Stevenage brining more than 6-700 fans

Stevenage average 280 away from home.

I'd say 400 would be pushing it.

[The Cube]

Bear in mind that it's unreserved seating, which generally means they sell up to 90% of the available seats.

Looks like they have sold around 1300, so far

[Scrappy]

Just booked my ticket and they said Lower West was far busier. Expecting a gate of 6-7 thousand!

[roadrunner]

I think they've said in the past (pre segregation):

East: 8500
North: 4400
South: 4400
West: 6900

Not sure what that makes the upper and lower West individually though. Probably about 3000 lower tier.

Anyone would think we're a big club.

Reading fans believe we will only take 400 or so. We will show them!

It's their cup final and it's cheapo tickets. I'd expect 1500 of them tbf.

[Big Foot]

LOL @ a Reading fan giving it large with the 'it's their Cup final' shite we've so often had to put up with over the years

[roadrunner]

Yep, that wasn't just to get a reaction out of them on their board...

Frustrating thing is they're probably reading this thread but unable to get usernames approved to post a reply.

A friend of mine posts on their board and a few have requested usernames and can't get them approved.

Upper West also open now, seems we're going to get a decent crowd (for a 3rd round FA cup tie vs lower league oppo)
