The TO told me that UW will only be open if more tickets sold than can be accomodated in LW and E

That will piss Mr Mad off a tad, where will he sit?? I asked for and was given upper west ticket, I for one think there will be a few more than 7000

At those prices it's plausible a 10,000 gate could be in attendance. The atmosphere will be poo though so I may have to try out the upper west. Been a while.

I have been given free tickets for this, I probably won't bother going though.

That is all.

I went to buy on line as soon as they went on sale and tried to select the block in UW in which I have a ST. However all UW blocks were greyed out on the system. I then phoned TO and that was their explanation. They said that the allocation of a block and seat number on tickets/member cards is purely for number control purposes and it did not matter what block I selected as on the night my ST will work in whatever turnstiles they decide to open. I agree that there are likely to be more than 7000 but not sure what the capacity of E + LW is.

Doesn't the east stand hold just shy of 9000? Lower west must be about 3000. More than enough for this game.

So how is cashless catering going to fit in with open seating and no north stand open? Plenty of people without the means to pay when they get to the tills probaby.

It's not been fully rolled out yet though has it. So won't be a problem at all.

At the moment the cashless syetms is only in part of the Upper West - it'll be rolled out slowly to the other stands, in a phased way.

Can someone explain to me why the online booking shows a Maestro sign but won't accept Maestro details on the form - will have to phone up at lunch now....

Same thing happend to me earlier. I tried to book with my Visa debit card and it wouldn't accept it. So had to use my mastercard credit card. Which is a bit of a pain.

I have never had a problem using my debit card online though. Apart from online booking at Reading.

I have used my Maestro card on several occaions but it always takes 3 or 4 attempts before the system will accept it. I think its just a crap system.

Looking at the seating guide on the online ticketing, we'd be lucky to have 5,000 tonight

I've seen that before on a number of websites, not just Reading, but when I selected Visa rather Visa Debit it works!
