Royal Male Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 Hello Foxes Reading fan here coming in peace. The general consensus amoung the neutrals is that we are already up, after a 134 year wait I prefer to wait until the fat lady sings, however looking at the various scenarios our game against you is one of the more likely where we could finally have the chance to be mathematically uncatchable. Although we aren't famous for huge traveling support the demand for this game for our fans could be huge (like most clubs in our position our traditional fan base has been swelled with bandwagon jumpers) and I suspect we will sell out our 3,000 ish allocation pretty quickly. So my question is have you ever or do you think the club would consider increasing the away allocation? I noticed that you are averaging around 21k this season so there's plenty of opportunity for you to grab a few extra £Â£Ã‚£s from us but would it be possible with seggregation issues, moving season ticket holders etc? If we are going up, of course we'd much rather do it at home and I'm sure you'd rather not host someone elses promotion party (Happened to us vs West Brom). Other than increasing the allocation I'd imagine quite a few of our fans getting tickets for the home stands which is less than ideal. I promise I'm not here to gloat, and for us to be in with a chance of getting promoted on the 25th it would mean Leeds woulds have to drop points, surely we can all enjoy that!

You can have a promotion party at ours, of course! My girlfriend is Reading lass and I like the club a lot. Coppell is a legend.
The People's Hero Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 Seriously, we'll win that game, it's just such a Leicester thing to do. Dunno about extra tickets, you might be lucky. Probably depends on how quick you sell your first batch and how well ours are selling.
Muz Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 I also like Reading , not got a real reason to aswell You'll get the away allocation - nothing more I would'nt have thought. Unless you somehow get the allocation we give in the Cup games. Think its an extra few hundred!
Vo Rogue Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 No. Go away coz we're gonna knock you off here 2 nil. Pick another day to celebrate coz it ajnt gonna be at the Walkers.
The People's Hero Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 You can have all 32,000 if you want. Meanwhilst, I'll be raping and pillaging in Reading. Well, perhaps not raping but certainly pillaging. OLE!
Ajax Treesdown Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 No. Go away coz we're gonna knock you off here 2 nil. Pick another day to celebrate coz it ajnt gonna be at the Walkers. Another 12 year old posts!

Muz Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 If results go our way and Leeds realy f**k up losing might be enough and we can all go away happy! That would be Ideal!!! I cant stand Leeds , good luck in getting promotion - you're about certain for it now
The People's Hero Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 Another 12 year old posts! Yeah, the Reading fella was civil and made a fair enough point... no need for the reaction I didn't think. Seriously, hope you do win the Championship and stay up. As long as Warnock ****s up somewhere along the line, I don't care.

Vo Rogue Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 So Tatorpeeler your the intellect around here. Oh yeh.One of the other few intellects Disillusioned opened a topic at 5.57. What happened to it?

Thanks, and I am trying to be Civil because if I can't get a ticket I'm going to ask to borrow yours
andyh1884 Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 I could see Reading doing next season what Wigan have done this year, they've got a good squad who work hard for each other. Would be nice to have a few more 'smaller' clubs up there among the big boys
The People's Hero Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 My reaction or the 12 year olds? The 12 year old's. I thought you were spot on mate.
Ajax Treesdown Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 The 12 year old's. I thought you were spot on mate. Cheers pal
The People's Hero Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 Thanks, and I am trying to be Civil because if I can't get a ticket I'm going to ask to borrow yours I'm off to Hong Kong that day so won't be there. Having said that, despite having a ST for last 3 years, don't have one this year I'm afraid!
Leicester Lass Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 My uncle and 2 of my cousins are Reading fans And I'd much rather host a Reading promotion party than a Blades one
davieG Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 We were at Sunderland's promotion party last year, oops hope that's not a bad omen, I wish you good luck but hope you manage without the need to beat us.
Swedging Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 The club won't budge the season ticket holders to either side, so it will be 3000 max. Sadly, I can't wish you well. Fans, players, manager I have no problem with. Chairman, however...

Phube Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 I wouldn't advocate this of cause, but I can guarantee we wont be sold out, so if you go to the North stand and buy a ticket (wearing blue and white) and sit on your hands all game you'll get to see the game easily... And if you do get promoted at our place I for one will be giving applause to your team...
SystonFox Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 Reading definitely deserve to be promoted this season, Sheff utd and leeds however can fock off! i wish your team the best of luck but i too think it would be such a LCFC thing for us too squeeze a win out of that game wether you're playing for the championship title that day or wether you're already up it will be a close game regardless imo!
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 A good friend of mine at Uni supports Reading so I have a soft spot for you, you deserve to go up, but don't expect it easy at the Walkers - like others have said this is the sort of game we'll squeeze a win out of...but then we'll loose against Southampton probably, or someone we shouldn't on paper. That's the city way. I wish me and my mate were going anyways but money's tight
Teeno Posted 2 March 2006 Posted 2 March 2006 The club won't budge the season ticket holders to either side, so it will be 3000 max. Sadly, I can't wish you well. Fans, players, manager I have no problem with. Chairman, however... seconded I wouldn't be happy having to move seats for the game so that the other fans can bring more, I think the max You'll be given will be 3,000 mabe 3,500.
