Disappointed that this is only open to season ticke my holders.

What about the fans who don’t want to waste several hundred pounds on a season ticket?

Hadn't heard the Amazons rumour, might make it worth buying one after all

Exactly.

This is why they need to let non season ticket holders attend.

This could be a great opportunity to introduce non football fans to the joys of being a Reading Fan, by holding a Reading FC event in amongst normal people who don’t normally go to football.

As it is it’ll be a ghetto of blokes all standing around working out that they don’t actually have much in common, and without a game to watch/about to start/having just finished, they’ll actually have to make conversation about other topics.

The time gap between first arriving sober, and everyone being smashed singing football songs is going to be excruciating.

I’m actually intrigued as to how many will turn up. How many of our season tickets are actually the right age for this type of event? I’d say many are either too old to want to attend a piss up in the turtle, or too young to actually get served.

People will go in friend groups and talk to themselves as normal in any social event. It's not like this is a singles speed date....

It'll also be a frenzy of people wearing the oldest, most obscure Reading shirt they can get their hands on, in an attempt to win the unspoken "I've been a supporter for much longer than you have, you absolute plastic..."

Exactly kid, exactly.

You’ve absolutely nailed it.

People will go in friend groups and talk to themselves which neatly encapsulates what a missed opportunity it is.

Not surprised, this was always going to happen when they didn’t open it up to non season ticket holders.

Some people did that in our premier league days.

Rather than making them look a true loyal Royal, it made it look like they'd not been to a game since 1994.

I'm hearing it's going ahead, and they're going to make non season ticket holders stand outside and watch through the windows.
