Brentford a home . . .

by riverroyal » 31 Mar 2015 09:05

Read a link the other day that Brentford are in discussions with Reading about how many tickets they will have for this fixture at Madejki Stadium.

Seems strange as surely we will just give them the whole away end (4,000).

However, Reading are also not selling tickets for this fixture yet. Anyone know why?

Their last away fixture, and it may see them cement a place in the play offs, so they're obviously looking to see if they can get more than the standard 4k.

That's what I was thinking, never known this happen at Madejski Stadium before though . . . .

Can't see how they would give anyone more than 4000. The hassle of relocating hundreds of STH would be a nightmare.

I recall West Brom asking for something stupid like 10k seats back in 2004. There isn't any way that this can be done without moving people and frankly, that's not on.

Both of these games are going to be horrible, particularly Bournemouth. They're flying high, we've got a cup semi 4 days later so will likely rest a number of players and get thrashed, and have their smug south coast gloating faces celebrating at our expense.

I'm sure RFC are glad you don't work for the sales team.

I don't think we'll rest players, it made sense at Watford but 4 days is plenty of recovery between matches, especially when very little travelling is involved.

Might as well rest them - if they play they'll have half an eye on not getting injured anyway.

We should only give them half of the South Stand as revenge for the fans that weren't allowed in Griffin Park in 1993.

TBF they were also going for promotion - it's not as if we have that worry this time.

Great big pile of cash from selling another thousand tickets at £25 minus costs should do it.

I'm sure financially it might be attractive but it's got to be physically possible as well. Would be interesting to see how it could be done, there's no obvious segregated area with necessary facilities that I can think of. Ŷ

They'd have to move Y25/26 up to the North, maybe next to the drummer :lol:

Wouldn't be surprised if they give them Upper West (i.e top South west corner) like they did when ManUre came in Prem. It was quite odd with them having that corner when you were sat in the South stand library!
