    Thinking of becoming a Spurs fan are you? I can't answer your question.

    I think it's 15/16, I don't really know much about youth tickets but I've been asked for the card I used to buy my ticket before as well as the email so whilst they don't always check everything, they will from time to time. I'm not sure how you'd go about proving your age if questioned though so maybe they're not checked as long as you don't look much older.

    Our concessions are for under 16's and over 65's.

    Our turnstile staff are not as vigilant at checking as your people are at the Madejski, so the chances are you'll be ok.

    <ok>.

  5. If you are one of those 17 year olds who is 6'2" and with a full beard, I doubt you'll be able to pull it off. However, if you are one of those 17 year olds with acne, permanent ****er's cramp, and a slight, effeminate figure that could pass as a 14 year old, you'll probably be okay.

    Which one are you?

    I will be in Southampton away end, im 6"0 no spots and can just shave morning before game, what's the view like from away section? Also do you have electronic gates? Reduces chance of getting questioned about age
    Can't think off any way they would prove im not under 16 anyway

    I don't see the relevance of your question.....
    You'll be well over the age of 'criminal responsibility' by the time Reading get back into the Premiership. So don't worry., you can shave as much as you like.

    On second thoughts, try Southampton and 'Best of luck', for next year.

    No, we do not have electronic gates. As for the quality of the view from the away section, I wouldn't know as I have never sat there and I very much doubt anyone else on here has, why would Spurs fans sit in the away section ??!!!

    <laugh> good point. Last time I was at the Lane I was a stone's throw from the Villa fans (literally <whistle>) and so the view won't be radically different to that for the away supporters.

    OP - you'll be between the corner flag and the goal, so an excellent view of one goal and you'll need a radio to know what happened at the other end <laugh>. Seriously, should be a decent view.

    I've sat there! <laugh>
    Can't remember which game, but it was one of the unsegregated pre-season friendlies and I thought I'd see what it was like. Porto, maybe?
    The view's very similar to the Park Lane, from what I can recall.

  12. That's a point. I have never sat in the away end at the Lane!

    I know that shouldn't be surprising, but it's not something that I have ever thought about.
