Singing block v Reading in the cup?

Perhaps in the empty South Stand blocks?

Not meaning to be a killjoy but I also think the Club are very unlikely to sanction a block for a singing section in the South. There is a reason the away fans are where they are....

Can I bring my organ?

That is amazing, made me laugh. Would love to see that in the SW Corner.

Only if you can do this (which by the way I cannot believe I actually found!!)

Scrap all the talk of singing sections.

We need a piano rising out of the roof of the West Stand to play Sussex By The Sea live before each match. That would be amazing.

Awful pedalling technique, shocking registration, cheesy finish - nasty :facepalm:

Of course we need Elton John - just to go with the Brighton stereotype.

Had a very prompt (as usual) reply from Paul Barber re: the idea of an allocated singing section. Liked the idea but the relatively small window for ticket sale organisation means they want to keep things as simple as possible. Fact Reading could get 4,500 tickets also a stumbling block to any plans.

Of course, nothing to stop fans just picking a block/area to look to buy tickets in.

4,500 hilarious, tinpot away support, if you give em 2,000 they'll be returning some

Totally agree! 4,500 is PB on drugs?!

I would say 1,500 tops.

Pricing is attractive, but they have obviously got to get here from Reading so they will have to factor that cost into their plans, plus they will be back a few weeks later for the League fixture. I just can't see they will see us as an attractive fixture, as we don't them!

Hmmm ... fairly typical supportive but unfortunately .............

Reading won't bring any more than 1500 and it would be fairly easy for the club to assign 2 blocks in SW ... pity

How about trying a singing block for the cup game?

Presumably if everyone who wanted to sing etc all aimed for the same block when they get their tickets it could be achieved easily enough?

Good idea. We could call it WSU, see if this novel idea takes off.

Bloody hell I'm not that good, I'm three blind mice standard!

Just a footnote....From my position near the halfway line ....when the North and the South/West are singing they pretty well match each other for volume,but seeing that the North has more fans in it the Kwepie doll goes to the South/West corner...

Return of the Rev · Dec 11, 2013

Would it possible for reading to let us know how many tickets they want? 2000-2500 should be more than enough

My fear is that if a few vocal bods relocate to the south, wont any sound be somewhat lost against a fairly large Reading faction?
On top of that, the relocation also then means the north is therefore quieter. We could end up having no cohesive noise at all.

Does Reading even have a chant?

"Play up, the Biscuitmen"?

Perhaps also a good time to try out a drum / band?

Maybe someone could ask the club to reserve a section for this?

Please tell me that was a joke.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
