MATCHWATCH : Arsenal U21s (h)

[stealthpapes]

If we get an Elm Park one, as well, I'll dig out some of my favourite Legs and Co performances.

Don't suppose you've got a Top 10 lowest attendances? You provide that, I'll play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0PiVpHvXd0, we're all good.

At the Madejski:

1. Wed 8 Dec 1999 - Leyton Orient (LT) - 1,561
2. Tue 30 Oct 2001 - Colchester (LT) - 2,725
3. Tue 9 Aug 2022 - Stevenage (LC) - 4,230
4. Sat 4 Nov 2023 - Milton Keynes (FA) - 4,325
5. Tue 5 Sep 2000 - Leyton Orient (LC) - 4,337
6. Wed 11 Aug 1999 - Peterborough (LC) - 4,651
7. Tue 16 Jan 2018 - Stevenage (FA) - 4,986
8. Tue 10 Aug 2021 - Swansea (LC) - 4,989
9. Tue 21 Aug 2001 - Luton (LC) - 5,115
10. Sat 17 Nov 2001 - Welling (FA) - 5,338

At Elm Park, there's little accurate data that I've been able to find for individual matches - especially once you go before the 90s (I'd probably have to purchase old football year books to get individual attendances - which I'm not going to do ).

That said, the Royals Record site had a list:

1. Wed 26 Oct 1938 - Watford (D3 South Cup) - 801
2. Wed 28 Sep 1938 - Bristol City (D3 South Cup) - 1,097
3. Wed 18 Aug 1982 - Bournemouth (LT) - 1,136
4. Wed 20 Nov 1991 - Northampton (LT) - 1,151
5. Tue 1 Dec 1992 - Brighton (LT) - 1,209
6. Wed 8 Mar 1939 - Crystal Palace (D3 South Cup) - 1,218

[Sutekh]

Lowest attendance at the Mad Stad for Reading is 1561 v Orient in the associate members whatever it was called back in December 1999, Mark Bowen played his first and last game for Reading (and also his last professional game at all). Andy Bernal scored the only goal.

Could have sworn that Brighton game was announced as less than 1000 on the day - as it sticks in my mind but memory plays tricks.

It could've been - there was certainly a period when the club would want to announce lower attendances than reality to reduce the tax paid on their ticket revenues.

[Snowball]

Just seen our side.

Wish I'd backed us for a win now.

[stealthpapes]

Reading: Pereira, Guinness-Walker, Dean, Holmes ©, Carson, Mbengue, Craig, Mukairu, Vickers, Wareham, Ehibhatiomhan.
Subs: Button, Mola, Knibbs, Smith, Wing, Wellens, Ahmed.

11 changes from weekend

[WestYorksRoyal]

Don't care about the game, but any chance the club are waiting until the fixture is done to make a statement on ownership and/or Selles?

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Viera and Nelson starting for Arsenal, both seen first team action recently.

Azeez on bench - have we sold him??

[Snowflake Royal]

Dean and Holmes against technically skilled and almost certainly quick forwards.

Two LBs?

1 midfielder

Has Rushesha shit in Selles' coffee?

oxf*rd state of that selection

Playing with things again. That'll create more confusion in team selections for the management for the league if they win.

NGW, Dean, Holmes, Carson
Vickers, Mbengue, Craig, Mukairu
Kelv, Wareham

According to Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheTilehurstEnd/sta ... 8285402522

the warm-up suggest a return to 4222 for #readingfc tonight, so the following (which is pretty much your guess above)

Pereira;
NGW, Holmes, Dean, Carson;
Mbengue, Craig;
Vickers, Mukairu;
Wareham, Ehibhatiomhan

[Royal Monkey]

Nice to see Ovie back even if he’s playing in goal for Arsenal! Did he really think changing his name slightly would fool us ?

There's an Azeez on their bench too
