A bit slow

[Needle]

I've got just over 3500 but the rest of my lot are 3000+ so it's squeaky bum time.

Haven't we fewer STs than in the last few seasons though? I'm reasonably confident that our loyalty will be rewarded.

I know Burton had nothing riding on it and was a bit of a trek but it was still inflatables day and took over a week to shift 1600 tickets

[loyalroyal4life]

Could this sell out first day on sale!

[tomrfcurz]

Can't see it selling out before close of play Wednesday

[Gunny Fishcake]

If you buy online does that mean sit where you want with mates ?

[bigshaka'away']

You can buy in Fulham 'neutral' section (which isnt deemed to be so for this game) from tomorrow, if you have purchased from Fulham before (which happily i have). I will be in there, if possible i can try to get more tickets for people if needed - depending on what i left tomorrow and how many i can buy.

Be aware that Fulham will possibly do what Reading do and flag up any sales to people with RG postcodes etc and reject then (Reading don't block RG obviously, but would look at clearly non local sales)
Even getting through the online process won't mean you actually get tickets from Fulham.

I have 2 tickets available in the Putney stand for the game at Fulham. I need an extra 1 for the game on Saturday though. If anyone can help call me 07726 543 293. Thanks

I had, perhaps naively, assumed that our match would be on Sky but it doesn't seem to be the case currently? Or will they add the match in due course to compete with the Arsenal v Stoke game on another channel?

According to this:

All play offs are on TV including ours. Not sure about that web page but both legs are on Sky Sports 1. I've got them Sky+'d and also it was advertised last night

[RG30]

Playoffs on Sky Sports 2

Well oddly enough i moved to Fulham last year, so no worries there. The ground is a 10 minute walk from my (very small) flat.

Is it possible you could get me one I'll pay above face value if needed

[Arthur Pint]

Hope you are right, as I want this to get to 1000+ on Wednesday afternoon. Annoyingly my son has 1940 points, not quite enough to buy Wednesday morning.

2000 tickets doesn't seem like many and I imagine demand will be high, fingers crossed.

I won't charge anyone above face value...i will see what options i have when i try tomorrow, if possible i will get you one.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Tickets in 'the neutral section'. How does it work when the entrance and concourse are one with the away stand?

[bloody Volvo driver]

Travel news, but there is engineering works on SWT between Barnes and Clapham Junction this weekend with replacement buses / diversions on the Reading - Waterloo service, so anyone thinking of taking the train to Putney from say Winnersh, Wokingham, Bracknell etc, and walking down the High St and over the bridge will either have to slum it on the bus replacements or seek an alternative route.
