Hoping Reading win the playoffs. Least likely of the 4 sides to survive in the Premier League IMO.

Maybe you should check these things out before slagging other fans off

Just watch the highlights and see the large gaps in the south west.

To be honest, I don't know why this thread was even started. So what if they don't sell out ? The fact that they are not going on 'general sale' will make a difference.

I'm not slagging anybody off, unless disagreeing is slagging off in your book, and I have yet to see proof that the games weren't sellouts. I seem to remember quite a bit of segregation which would result in less tickets being sold.

Is this the 'tinpot' Reading who have spent more time than us in the top two divisions in the last thirty years and finished 8th in the Premier League ten years back ?

Since when has the word 'TINPOT' been a compliment ?

Not over 2.5k worth of segregation though.
