4986 fans turned up at Reading v Stevenage in the FA Cup tonight (16/1/18) and 608 of them were from Stevenage. Not sure of admission prices.

Quick check shows it's a lot less than a third their normal gate.

Fair play to those that did, but shame to see low turn outs in the cup

Worth dusting this off.

To be fair, they are having a crap season and it was their reserves in a cup replay against a team they should beat without the need for one.
Its a poor attendance but not unexpected

Sad to see the FA Cup losing its importance. Maybe Reading did get their ticket pricing and availability wrong; on the other hand, it's a bl**dy cold 'orrible night!

Reading fans are disrespecting the FA Cup.

No, be fair, they're just going back to pre Mad jet ski stadium days, a truer figure of their loyalty.
Seriously though,teams just need to almost give tickets away for these games.Rather than have 4986 paying what,around £15-25?,just sell the tickets for £5 and have 15.000 /20.000 and make the same money but get a better crowd.More importantly sell cheap to get the kids in.

24k full houses in the PL.....14k ish in the Championship....not sure our gates would fall by 40% if we were relegated. Last night was dire ( 4986 ) and indicative of a fan base disgruntled with their team/manager.
