City Mike Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Don’t think we will sell 4300 with our current form somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hate going there. Worst away day going, which is a shame considering how close it is. No pubs, no atmosphere, crap stewards, horrible atmosphere every time I've been there between city fans arguing over standing. Advice if you have kids don't take them !!

One of my favourite away days was there 08/09 2-0 win. Since then however its always been flat and we rarely win, not going this year saving for Leeds instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmycolour Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Been there twice, lost both times, hostile atmosphere, city fans won't sit down, always arguing with stewards, give it a miss me thinks, go to Bridgwater Carnival instead, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pubs, no atmosphere, crap stewards, horrible atmosphere every time I've been there between city fans arguing over standing. Advice if you have kids don't take them !! My worst ever away day. Got a lift down... Got stuck in traffic so took near on 4 hours to get there and then had to queue in the rain to collect my ticket meaning i missed the first 15-20 mins. Watched an awful game which we lost 1-0 to a last minute goal. Raced to the station as had to get the train home... Assumed id be able to buy something to read and some beer for the journey in the station. Turns out i couldn't as everything was shut, my phone battery then died and the shop on the train wasn't open either. So for a delayed train journey of 3 1/2 hours back to manchester i had nothing to do but stare out the window and dwell on the game. I've had my fair share of shit awaydays but just for the sheer boredom this one tops the list. I wont be going again anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 A few of us always do Reading, few beers in Bath, get put in that pub next to the station in Reading which is Ok, bus to ground and back, never had any problem doing a pub crawl after the game for a few hours in the town, back on the train by 9pm. The football quite often spoils the day tho !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 My favourite game at reading was a 4 nil away win on a Friday night many years ago. Remember cureton getting lots of stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look into it a little bit more, Reading can be a decent away day. I cant remember the name of the pub, sorry, but we’ve taken a mini bus load up a few times, parked at a great little pub about 5 mins taxi ride from the ground. I agree that around the ground is rubbish, but it can be made into a decent trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PooPants Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 This is the day of my birthday. Don’t suppose anyone who isn’t going fancies lending me their forever Bristol/season card numbers? I’ve a few mates heading back from the states and don’t wish to risk general sale. Happy to make donations to children’s hospice as a thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been on one of these reading trips, thinking about it though. Have we ever discovered any decent new libraries on these away days? I mostly do reading at home.... Maybe I should turn over another leaf, start a new chapter and book it … ( Soz, ..I'll just stand here in the corner for a bit then ok ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
