The Reading Cup game - will you go?

[Lady Whistledown]

I reckon we will see a gate over 28,000 now, which will see us feature in the top 7 or 8 crowds for the round. These matches will all draw bigger gates:

Everton v QPR
Man Utd v Swansea
Newcastle v Cardiff
Arsenal v Spurs

And these matches will be similar:

Blackburn v Man City
Villa v Sheff Utd
Derby v Chelsea
Sunderland v Carlisle
and maybe Southampton v Burnley

You can't seriously think over 28,000 Sunderland fans are going to turn up nine days after Christmas to watch them play Carlisle?

I suspect Saints won't get much over 20k for Burnley and I'm not even sure Villa will do much better for Sheffield United.

 

[Horsham Gull]

10 quid to effectively watch championship football is a bargain

 

[Socialist Sid]

At the expense of looking particularly silly, what date is this one?

 

[pasty]

Pricing a pleasant surprise, but I would have gone anyway.

Saturday 4th January - 3PM.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Fence > yes.

Just remains for me & Scoffers to decide where we're sitting & how many rug rats to take.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I was going anyway..and still will but probably spend a bit if dosh on food and drink which I dont normally do

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Of course - I am a fan!

 

[T soprano]

probably spend a bit of dosh on food and drink which I dont normally do

yeah I've heard that about you getting the drinks in

 

[Notters]

It took a quarter final last year for Blackburn to reach 20k fans watching the FA Cup, be suprised if they get 28k in one match, and don't think Saints or Sunderland will get 28k either both will suffer from Premiership irrogance towards the Cup...

There will probably be 15k city fans at Blackburn and 5k Carlisle fans at Sunderland...

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

There will probably be 15k city fans at Blackburn and 5k Carlisle fans at Sunderland...

15k - really ? The away end only holds 8k too.

They most probably will sell that out though. Also 5k to Carlisle ? 2k at most.

 

[goldstone]

Would have gone anyway with my sons .... but very nice to have this great deal. Hope the fans respond with a good crowd.

 

[Muzzy]

As long as I can get the day off work, I'm in.

This. May take my boy for his first game too

 

[Hamilton]

Yes. As will junior Hamilton.

 

[willow147]

I'd like to take my daughter to only her 3rd game but not sure if there be any tickets left by the time she qualifies to get one.

 

[clippedgull]

Pricing is ok but I'm 50/50 on the actual fixture. Probably will be a last week decision.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

If pricing had been what I was expecting (£25.00 for WSU including travel) I would have been a no.

Now at £10.00 plus travel we (3 of us) will be a yes.

Well done PBS and the club. Now lets pack the place out.

Even at these prices I doubt very much it will sell out.

 

[LamieRobertson]

yeah I've heard that about you getting the drinks in

but will you be there?

 

[BensGrandad]

Obviously yes because we are at home and I would go to any home game irrespective of the price. or us being shown live on tv
