Sold 3,100 tickets for the away end tonight, and still time to sell out our entire allocation of 3,600 as tickets can still be purchased right up till kick off. Great effort for a midweek fixture
Pity the ground is so far from the station. Would have added plenty more if it wasn't for a late finish and work in the morning. That said, 3k+ should ensure we make more noise than the home team again.
Shako especially four days after taking 5,000 to Bolton All these clubs may hate Leeds United, but they love our money
Pity we can't redevelop ER to increase the cpacity past the 50k mark. When we get back into the PL, we'd have little difficulty getting 50k in, particularly for the big games.
The home crowd will be swelled by a number of less than totally committed Reading fans too. Could not possibly say whether I'll be one of them
Why cant we. It would have been underway had England won the world cup bid. Of course we'd be another 20m in debt
I think the main reason we can't has something to do with planning permision and views of the properties nearby. Funding it is also a problem. And with re-acquiring TA & ER being more of a priority than increasing the size of ER, I doubt we'll be doing anything there for a wee while. That said, if it looks as though promotion is on the cards for this season, GFH might want to use some of the promotion bonus towards buying ER & TA as well as carrying out a feasibility study to increase the capacity.
Evening all, just dropping in to say sorry I've missed a couple more match threads, had a nasty virus that's knocked me off my feet for the best part of a week. I'll have the Burnley one up tomorrow.
