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 !! We had a wonderful match there during the playoff final season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieH Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Had an e mail today from reading football officer, unfortunately the big stand that did hold up to 4400 away fans has now been effectively split in half and therefore the allocation is 2200. i have asked if there is scope for anymore but not hopeful. Will keep you updated if there is any news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingbat Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Their ground is half empty these days, so no idea why they'd move home fans into that stand. Plenty of clubs in the Champ would take more than 2200 there this season if they could. You're all right though - it's a crap away day at a soulless generic bowl of a ground. Unfortunately, I always feel obliged to attend as i only live 15 mins down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Read online their max away allocation on offer is 2,327. 2,159 our allocation- why the shortfall/discrepancy @JulieH @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieH Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Probably segregation needing to be a little wider as it is likely to be a sold out away end . I can ask the question to clarify but that is normally why in these circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I always feel obliged to attend as i only live 15 mins down the road They've done it to try and regain their home advantage - too many away fans - and to have home fans behind both goals, which prevents their team having to play towards a sea of hostile away fans for half each of home game. Reading fans clearly didn't like the previous set up and it seems their club, like others similarly affected, has listened to them. The required allocation for away fans in the Championship is 2k. and clubs that go far beyond that are putting money before their home advantage. Good for Reading imo., and I'd like to see AG following suit. 2k is plenty to create an atmosphere without allowing the away fans to overly affect proceedings.

Correct- recall a young Portuguese loanee got a terrible injury that game, might have been Dani Rodriguez? It was one of 2 Portuguese young loanees in any case.

I was 6 rows from the back and some grumpy old gits behind me told me to sit down. For that reason I shan't go back to reading again. Mind you I will miss the nagheads pub which had some nice ciders and a bus to the ground just outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at Millwall away in April- and despite being a few rows from the top of the block most around inc. behind me sat down! Very frustrating, thought near the top of a stand away at Millwall in a crucial game we'd all be stood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
