Absolutely right. So let's get to the point. I (undoubtedly holier than most of thee) am going to the game. I think it will be quite interesting. I'll enjoy my half time hot chocolate. And hopefully we'll win. Fingers crossed.

Be interesting to see how many can make it if we win, and get a big team in the next round.

Every cloud has a silver lining....much easier to get pies tonight!

Well I had been thinking of buying four, and stashing one. But can't imagine Security are going to ignore it. Though to be fair they did find my gloves.....though they're not likely to have eaten those, are they?

I'm going, and will hopefully buy several pints and perhaps even multiple pies. Then again, I didn't make the Colchester game, as was on holiday (arranged prior to the fixture's announcement).*

* Even worse, I'm a JCL and DFL, and have only recently discovered the meaning of these phrases.

That won't happen Sheffield Wednesday have been knocked out already.

RandyWanger · Sep 20, 2016

I can't make it, bad fan. I shall tune in via player (if it works) and post on this thread. Back over for Saturday though. :albion2:

So, despite not wanting to watch Reading's reserves and not wanting to spend money that could be put towards my mortgage, I also have a very valid reason of having a job conflict I'm still a fair weather fan?

Lightweight.

Me too. Started watching BHA at the Goldstone in 1972, aged five, and am not going tonight as my elderly, housebound mother has just been released from hospital without the required care packages in place, so am currently sorting all sorts of crap out. Hopefully that IS on the list of approved excuses, and I'm not seen as a fairweather fan... it does irritate that the assumption seems to be if you aren't going to a particular game, you cannot be bothered. Doesn't seem particularly #together to dismiss fellow fans who for whatever reason don't go to particular matches...

albion is a great distraction but, family comes first and hope your Mum's care package turns out Ok

I'm not going. No excuse apart from can't be arsed to drive down from Reading to watch our reserves play Reading reserves. It would cost with petrol and parking and ticket about £60 ish and I don't think that is good value. Bad fan I know, but I can live with myself and will be at the Amex on Saturday to cheer on the team.

If Reading take more then 10 I will be amazed.

300 sold apparently which would be MORE than last seasons LEAGUE game - it was also a Tuesday night, i believe 280 of them although you wouldn't of noticed because they were silent.

Anyone want a free ticket to the game? Or whatever you can afford, donation to REMF, a few hail Marys and a fag etc etc

Probably because it's much cheaper, and also Reading are looking somewhat like a football team now, as opposed to when we played at the Amex last season.

1. I like football but it isn't as important to me as it used to be and I really can't be arsed to go tonight. (Only 15,999 more excuses to go.)

Geestar · Sep 20, 2016

I drove down (from Newcastle) for the Colchester game....too far for a repeat. I must be one of those bad fans!

"Our reserves"

according to the Beeb we have a Belgian international debutant , Connor & Uwe plus Sam Baldrick .. Not bad.
I have to admit that I am at home too , though

Uh_huh_him · Sep 20, 2016

I wonder if any of the lads fancy getting some revenge in for Liam. Any news on when he's expected back?
