Factoring in free travel, the season ticket and match ticket prices aren't too bad.. The pies and programme certainly look much better than I've seen at most away games but I very rarely buy either so I can't really judge quality. Tea should cost F all, you're paying £2.50 for a tea bag and a cup..

We're getting value we can't complain with in comparison (which is the whole point, isn't it). Ticket prices= top end championship football. Program=high standard compared to others. Tea= I've had better, I've had worse. Pies=Unfortunately the club have me by the tastebuds here and I would happily part with plenty more than they charge. A bargain for me despite being the leagues most expensive.

Really? I'd love to have one occasionally but can't justify £4 for a small pie!

The Big Yin was in town last night. How much was a ticket to see him? My match day experience is roughly £50 all in (ticket, pie & pint), I expect it cost more to see Billy. Point made.

Don't have a pie or programme so HAPPY DAYS.

Can't comment on the price as it was a present but The Big Yin is not nearly as funny as he used to be ..... making the match day experience even better value ( although I still say all football tickets are over priced ).

Since the Amex opened, I have had a pie at every match, different flavours and filling... although Chicken and Ham is the best..... I have had 1 poor pie in all that time... a veggie option that was just a mush of red peppers.... it wasn't disgusting, just poor..... I really don't get this constant griping about the pies.

I think that this is something that is missed in nearly all of these surveys. It is great value in my opinion and I love the Park and ride option. It makes getting down to a match very easy from Reading, I think we also understate just how good the P+R are (I only have experience of Mill Road/Lane)

I took the boy to a reading match recently. It cost £7 to park near the ground and took an hour and a half to be able to get out the car park and down the road toward Reading. We wanted to go the other way but couldn't fight through the traffic.

Would the majority of the same people pay to see him every other week then ?

All football is overpriced. It's down to people who sit in the pub or at home watching it on Sky and then go on the forums of the team they 'support' whining about how they don't go because it's overpriced

You beat me by half hour, went to a Reading game earlier in season, with a couple of mates from there, they were home before I left car park!!
Took me own grub.

I do not gripe about the pies but do not think that they represent good value for money so it is simple I do not buy one and the same with the program, that is the choice we have.

A good point here, at how many grounds are there extra charges for parking nearby? A really interesting survey would be one that took into account all the costs of watching a match, not just the amount payable to the club.

HaHa, they were also in car park, but went opposite way

There's a difference between not going because it's overpriced and not going because you can't afford it.

He says, griping about the pies.

I do not moan about them just dont buy them, and gave my reason, there is a difference. F If you wish to go buy one but they are not for me.

This the same with Costa, Starbucks and Caffe Nero for me not VFM so dont use them.
