i agree with you regarding Readings terrible decision for initial allocation, think the club need to learn from it. Outside of the premiership we are used to this type of thing 'initial allocation of 2,800 tickets with a further tickets available on request ' obviously not those high figure tho...

the statement is manipulated to cover their backs. We have not played an away Qtr final in the FA cup post war, let alone against one of the biggest clubs in the country, in a new stadium with ticket prices at a very fair level. the statement is purely arse covering!

just to let you know our tickets (Reading) sold out at 12.39am tickets went on sale to those with 1600 pts (season ticket holders for past 6/7 years) at 9am and then for those with 600-1599 pts at midnight, 39 minutes later sold out. Can't believe how badly both clubs seem to have judged the...

Re: reading tickets selling fast Unfortunately not. I moved to Leicester a few years ago and now have 2 young children so the games I get to are usually when I have got myself in the good books and then pay on the day. I tend to get to more away games than home games nowadays. With all these...

Re: reading tickets selling fast I imagine we (Reading) will make an announcement at the end of today regarding our ticket sales thus far. Unfortunately it seems we will only get the 2,800.

Re: reading tickets selling fast If you still have that many, as Oliver would say, can we have some more please! Or straight from Blackadder, I have a cunning plan. You guys swamp your office with, give Reading more tickets hence forcing the opening of tier 3, lol

Re: reading tickets selling fast Funny you should mention that, the below was posted on our forum at almost exactly the same time! " if Mr Madesjki isn't on the phone to Mr Mubarak right now he needs to drop what he's doing and start dialling"

Re: reading tickets selling fast I just can't believe that both clubs came to the same decision that an FA Cup Qtr final was going to be so poorly attended. Surely there must have been something else behind the scenes or is it just that both back offices have no realisation of the Club, the FA...

Re: reading tickets selling fast Our supporters association have even said that it maybe worth our fans petitioning Man City for more tickets, unfortunately I don't think time is on our side.

Re: reading tickets selling fast Maybe we could all pray for a miracle that both ticket offices were totally in control and didn't open tier 3's until today due to Reading's tickets not going on sale until 9am. Now that both clubs have had chance to asses demand, the entire ground will be open...

Re: reading tickets selling fast The trouble now is that your club would pretty much have to announce that they were opening the top tiers today and a further allocation has been sent to Reading, I reckon we would sell a large proportion if not all if we had time to do it. Would be great to be...

Re: reading tickets selling fast Yes please! That's what all the Reading fans are asking for, but City have said no due to safety concerns.

Re: reading tickets selling fast As far as I am aware the sale or return for our club was only on the standard league allocation, for the increased cup allocation we would have had to pay for it whether the tickets were sold or not.

Re: reading tickets selling fast You are spot on, we now have a thread on our forum regarding tickets for this match that has more than twice as many visits as we have tickets. Many Reading fans are fuming at this.

Re: reading tickets selling fast Our tickets didn't go on sale until 9am this morning and you're quite right the tickets weren't on sale or return so the club have tried to protect themselves which has now massively backfired.

The difference is that you are expected to give us a thumping and if this happens or even if you just win by the odd goal I would be back here to congratulate you and hope you go all the way and win it. Yes it is a huge game for the club and fans, certainly not the biggest we've had but...

This is what I wouldn't consider as banter, I would be very surprised if you could find this sort of comment on our board! Your fellow supporters must be very proud of you? I hope you can take your anger out elsewhere as Reading are pretty much a family club. By the way, I'm from Reading, now...

Cheers guys, Just banter and it would be a boring place without it. When in the years to come we meet again, maybe our ticket offices could have a chat with each other! Hope you do open the level 3 seats, it might be the only place I can get to see the game from.

it's just banter guys. personally I can't wait to see our small club take on one of the genuine big boys. yes we only have an average attendance of 17,000 but trust me that's a long way from about 4,000 we had 12 years ago. nearly all of our history has been spent in the lower leagues so we...

do we??? maybe you could point out the thread on our whole message board that indicates this and is not just banter? think you will find that we have huge respect for you, even amongst the banter.
