Quite tempted by this.. but £80+ on the rattler seems a bit excessive..

If we manage a draw, can we charge the earth for manure supporters for the replay, ?

We've already said we'll stick with our 20's Plenty policy for any replay. That would apply to both sets of fans.

I think it is a disgrace that you are charging Reading fans £37-45 for FA Cup 3rd round tickets. At a time when everyone in football is trying to keep ticket costs down, there is always one greedy idiot in the party.

I can afford it easily but I am slowly turning my back on football due to sheer greed; I no longer go to England games due to ridiculous cost and out of principle I won’t go. I go to Reading games as they care about real fans and keep costs low.

Aren’t you embarrassed that my club is subsidising the supposedly richest club in the world by keeping the cost to £30; no Reading fan will pay over £30 and Reading FC will pay the difference.

Recently, I watched the Arsenal-Reading EFL cup game for £10 at the Emirates

Also, if there is a replay tickets at Reading are £20, which makes your greedy pricing structure even more laughable.

Pathetic, greedy club and don’t even bother with the supply and demand argument.

We should charge their pathetic fans £100 if there is a replay. Plus £1 million for their idiot directors and management

Really want to go but thinking, £30 ticket, £65 train, not even had a drink. Maybe just go to the local, put £50 on us to win . Get proper ratarsed and if we win, cash in. Been there before and it's impressive but not that good!

As a STH who has hasn't been to an away game for 2 years and has at least 3500 points, given how many we took to Leeds on Tuesday night this is generosity most of us don't deserve.

Frankly, subsidising 5000 glory hunters, most of whom will be at the front of the queue demanding the club spend money it hasn't got in the upcoming transfer window, is a massive gesture and subsidising an even bigger allocation would have been an outrage. The money should have been spent giving free days out for the 150? who made it to Elland Road, the few hundred who will be at Blackburn and all those who made it to dumps like Wigan.

We need an Old Trafford full of fans paying the market rate to help fund our promotion push and most of our hypocritical whingers should do what they normally do given the chance by spending the day at home in front of the telly.

The money spent on the ticket subsidy is utterly insignificant in terms of the January transfer window.

I do think there is an arguement to say why not have an away season ticket priced at £20 per match to reward those who travel regularly. For the club to implement (in a token way) the Twenty's Plenty for our fans would be excellent PR. Take up would be limited, therefore expense fairly minimal, but would be another nice gesture by the club.

It's a better arrangement than letting in 4,000 away fans for £20 a ticket when we don't get the same in return.

We get £20 for home games though...
So RFC have managed to give equality for us every home game with any matching away games as a bonus !
I suspect it may be next season before we see other clubs doing the £20 thing, I hope any new owners keep doing this stuff for us though.

As a hypocritical whinger you won't be an Old Trafford then. You'll watch the game on the box. Why break a tradition of not attending away games. :D
