Free entry for Reading??!!
« on April 21, 2014, 07:38:52 pm by mrfrostsdad »
Right. I'm a STH (and I've bought next seasons - next to you again DonnyBaz) and I have no wish to see my season ticket purchase devalued, but we need a full house next week.

On this one occasion, can we not let everyone in for free? Or how about, adults buy a programme and get free entry, and kids a quid? Give everyone a drum, a megaphone, a vuvuzela or whatever they're called and let's make so much noise that Reading s##t themselves!!

Let's see how much the Donny public want a Championship team next season. We need to win. A win MAY see us safe, it may not.

Please, does the VSC (and everyone else) agree? It's the biggest game since, well, the last biggest game!

said this on another thread but I'll go again.  Don't think I've seen it work for us once.

I'm a ST holder and I wouldn't mind people getting tickets for Free/£1/£5 whatever the club and fellow ST holders feel comfortable with. If it meant it was our supporters filling the stadium (including parts of the North Stand) instead of getting the money from away fans and giving them the added advantage of a big following, I'm sure people would agree.

Fiver a ticket, T' shirt on every seat like the opening game in the keepmoat against Huddersfield, and that kid out "one erection" or whatever they are called signing autographs. Place be rammed.

I think £5 a ticket or £10/quid a kid would pull in some extra numbers. I wouldn't mind the club doing it if they felt it would be beneficial, and I'm a STH.

Inclined to agree with iateallthepies though, I'm not convinced it'll make that much difference to the game. Would be great if we were able to create a good atmosphere at home for once though, regardless of whether it's full or not.

No a one off 23 quid should not put people off. Stop be ing tight and get down to the KM. People will have bougbt the 2 for 35 quid ticket. Do it free we'll just get the people coming for something to do as it's free who don't care about Rovers

Agree. Rather have 9000 that care than the 9000 + 5000 day trippers.

Why won't Reading bring many?  They want the play offs don't they?

I bought the 2 for £35 quid offer, I think it would not be unreasonable to offer entry for adults at £10 or £15.  And a quid for kids.

As ST holder I'd happily go along with it. May be free but it could be priceless !!

Trouble is, tickets have already been bought so they are limited to what they can do.

Tenner a ticket, get it advertised around the town, on the teles in Frenchgate, in the free press, in the star, on the radio! Lets get an atmosphere in the ground! Surely the club must know how important it must be for the players to have the fans behind them!!

I don't think a tenner a ticket would do it. There's so much apathy in the town I think it needs to be free, or buy a programme.
Ok, it will cost a few quid, but relegation will cost about £4m.

And as for having 9000 there who are real fans rather than 15000 who are there just because it's free, it don't care. As long as they come and make some noise.

 And yes, some people may have paid £35 for the Derby and Reading game, I paid £399 for my season ticket, and on this occasion I really don't mind

I suggest we all could do our bit. I'll be trying to get as many down as I can.  We need to fill the place.

It was free to get in against Palace.

We didn't win and it wasn't full.

Poorly and couldn't use my Alliance tickets for the Derby game. Any thoughts on 'unused' alliance freebies being used for this game ? :)

No-one is saying we will win Col. And if I'm not mistaken there was over 14000 there for the Palace game, or whoever it was.

But, if we just want our usual 7500 home fans to be there and sit with their hands under their ars*s, then fine

The crowd helped against Palace, the crowd helped against Crewe. There are positive examples.
