And Its Smith Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Planning to take my 7 year old to his first away game but my own father forgot to book us all tickets! He is now devastated. If anyone has any spares for any reason please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 We took over 4,000 city fans to one of the Reading away games. 2,000 extra City fans equates to £50,000 at 25 pounds a ticket. Don't buy this argument that too many away fans does not help the home team Well it didn't when 7,000 Leeds fans went to Blackburn last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotonRed Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Missed that also. Was going to be the last game I could go with a fellow city fan before he emigrates to Aus! Looking for 3x tickets (ideally 1x adult 2x 18-24). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider-Head23 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Reading's main problem is their home fans are awful, so a big away following will more than likely seem even louder. Where as I'd imagine although Leeds had 7 thousand at Ewood Park on Saturday, I bet the home crowd were right behind Rovers throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Simple reason- we tend to restrict away allocations, marginal gains- what's good for the goose etc. Concentrated big followings of away fans given most tend to stand, when you stand singing is more natural- it all adds up to away fans generally outsinging home fans. On the other hand though, I would prefer away allocations to be big as a general rule- across the board I mean, good for the game perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money- potentially a big, vocal away following spurs on the home fans more and the atmosphere as a whole rises. Can't have it both ways...

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 When do the rules change so the away club keeps the receipts from the tickets sold to their fans? I know it was passed at the EFL meeting a few weeks back so next season I guess. No incentive to give anyone anything higher than the minimum when it does.

Redminster Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Even with a sold out away end of 2,200 there will likely be less than 15k in a ground of 24k. If you bought tickets in the home areas and were sensible with colours and not being too obvious, Reading is the kind of place where you could find yourself your own few rows of seats and not be in the least bit conspicuous.

We have a ground of 27k, what’s the point of building it if we are going to limit the away end by 2k for the majority of games to so say not give an advantage to opposition by letting them have 4K away fans compared to our potential 23k home fans? If 23k home fans can’t outsing 4K away fans that’s the real problem As if we fill the ground over 25k for a certain amount of time the club needs to pay for resident parking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Got beaten by Brum on Tuesday night, and if they get beaten at Abertawe on Saturday It will be a very quiet place at the madhouse on Saturday week.

Exactly, I've tucked myself away in one of the corners, not sure about sitting my hands though, how do you ask for coffee in Berkshire-speak?
