The Cap And, of course, there will be those who turn up on the night. "Darling, fancy popping out to watch some footie?" "Okay sweetheart and where would that be?" "Heard there's a match down the road at Reading tonight". "Oh really, any particular significance?" "I think so, heard some chappies talking about it at the local watering hole the other day". "We'll pop along then. As long as we don't end up next to some of those those hoolie chaps, then it should be fine" "Do we need tickets?" "Not an issue, darling. We'll just rock up, like we always have for other events" :lol:


The same people who after the event will complain about parking being a nightmare, traffic issues, large queues to get a cup of tea and bad language.

:P

I think the gridlocked roads will be the first indication to them that everything is not going to end well :)

Greatwesternline Strange that we can sell out Leeds at home on TV but not a play off semi final.


There will be more in the ground tomorrow than there were against Leeds. The attendance against Leeds was 23,055 but I'd imagine that included the STHs that didn't show so the actual number inside the ground would have been less. possibly slightly less seats lost due to segregation tomorrow as well due to fewer away fans.

I assume that Leeds had the whole of the South stand as well right? (I was on holiday so didn't see anything of the game).

So there will definitely be more Reading fans tomorrow :D

You're really getting annoyed by having to get to the ground a whole 15 minutes earlier?

Tbf to Sut the 15 mins makes a surprising amount of difference to the traffic

Are we sure the club aren't putting out clappers?

Also don't want to jinx it but if we were to score then this is precisely the sort of game where goal music should not be played.

Of course there'll be clappers.

Or song sheets.

Or something.

Just tried going to RFC online shop to check a product.

I got presented with a "You're In a queue".

Position number 151. Presumably the vast majority of those in front are booking home tickets

This may sell out after all

Remember back in the day when the lads turned said clappers into paper planes and threw them on to the pitch? Just like a scene from Dambusters. FAF :lol:

There will be those fire things that shoot out flames when the players come out

I don't mind balloons too much. Clappers is a massive no no

Heard rumours that "someone" may be making a guest appearance in Y26. Some guessing it may be Paul McShane. Now that would be goood!

Just not sure if having someone key like that (even injured) away from the team would happen. I'd assume they'd want him and regulars in and around the changing room

Tiger's on his way to watch the match, so I'm guessing it will be him

When we played Wigan the stores around Reading ran out of both blue and white balloons. Off we go again!

ok, Wife watching Eastenders, had another look at the ticket situation. They have added hundreds of tickets for the West stand now.

ED B18 = 41, B17 = 36, B16 = 19 , B15 = 2, B14 = 12, B13 = 10

East Y19 listed but nothing can be viewed

L West G10 = 18, G9 = 11, G8 = 9, G5 = 12 , G4 = 18

[u]U West[/u] GU12 = 126, GU11 = 53, GU10 = 22, GU9 = 14, GU8 = 4, GU5 = 11, GU4 = 10, GU5 = 11, GU4 = 10, GU3 = 15, GU2 = 52, GU1 = 221

South R30 = 2, R31 = 15, R32 = 117

Total = 850

if you know of anyone who may be undecided, have a word, be good to get closer to capacity
