[Albion] Reading Away

[Beach Hut]

Same here, I like the Madejski but it's one for getting to the ground, seeing the match and save the beers for when I get home. (Unless anybody can convince me public transport to and from Reading station is a viable option)

Polar opposite I positive despise the whole set up at Reading, drums, music and being told what to sing but anyway to transport......

There is a bus which is £5 return from the station but I think there are huge queues post match I am sure we had to wait over an hour to get back after that 0-0 draw when we had a goal disallowed in the last minute and won promotion to what was Div 1 in old change.

The wait for the bus hasn't been that bad the last couple of times (10 mins ?).

Really ? Ok think I might go for it them.

What are the boozers like near the station ?

The one near the station (1000 Guineas?) is away fans only, it does real ale as well as normal drinks and has some seats out front where you can have a smoke.
The bus might not be quite so quick as the crowd will be bigger I reckon.

Is it real or is it reading?

Milkshakes from McDonalds outside the stadium.
No pubs or train station anywhere near the ground.

For now, the train station on Green Park (business park next to the stadium) has finally got a proper go ahead and commitment of funding.

I hope that it's as good as the new train station next to the Coventry Arena!

Just phoned up and got a free ticket in the Family parking area.

Apparently the first 20 tickets are free (and its £8 after). The only stipulation is that you've got to have a child under 12 going with you.

Why do so many Albion fans live in Reading? FFS, Reading! Have you done wrong? Have you been sent away to some penal colony?

Nothing wrong with Reading. Then again, I did move here from Croydon

It's the most prosperous town in the country and its close to the motorway
Rather live here than Brighton to be fair as Brighton has to many weirdos

Initial allocation of just under 2000, when (not if) these sell out we'll have the whole allocation of approximately 4000

It's less than an hour to walk it...or thereabouts...a depressing walk though!

Decision made, driving

Just get a normal bus to and from the Basingstoke road by liddles...Easy peasy and to be fair the transport is very quick now compared to all those years ago.

Allocation increased to 4,000

Would like to think we'd be close to selling out. After the start we've had and it's fairly local.

Good points but as others have pointed out, it's also one of the worst days out in the 92.
