People pay to watch Reading play

Quick check shows it's a lot less than a third their normal gate.

Fair play to those that did, but shame to see low turn outs in the cup

 

[Paris]

Worth dusting this off.

How many loyalty points did they get?

Loyal royals

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

To be fair, they are having a crap season and it was their reserves in a cup replay against a team they should beat without the need for one.

Its a poor attendance but not unexpected

Sad to see the FA Cup losing its importance. Maybe Reading did get their ticket pricing and availability wrong; on the other hand, it's a bl**dy cold 'orrible night!

Makes our Palace attendance look good.

 

[El Turi]

Tickets were £10.

The 'magic' of the cup.

 

[LowKarate]

Reading fans are disrespecting the FA Cup.

Reading fans are disrespecting the FA Cup.

No, be fair, they're just going back to pre Mad jet ski stadium days, a truer figure of their loyalty.

The " Magic " of the Cup is quite obviously failing... Even the BBC can't be arsed to puff it this year.

 

[Renegade]

Wow how did they get that many for a meaningless game midweek against a third world team?amazing.

 

[Renegade]

Seriously though,teams just need to almost give tickets away for these games.Rather than have 4986 paying what,around £15-25?,just sell the tickets for £5 and have 15.000 /20.000 and make the same money but get a better crowd.More importantly sell cheap to get the kids in.

24k full houses in the PL.....14k ish in the Championship....not sure our gates would fall by 40% if we were relegated. Last night was dire ( 4986 ) and indicative of a fan base disgruntled with their team/manager.
