Seems like a lifetime since we got to watch us lose there again

Tickets on sale today. At least it’s only £20 too. Not bad value for the disappointment
 
I vowed never to step foot in Reading again after last time but it’s been so fucking long I think I may have to do it.

I’ve been to pretty much every game there since moving down south two decades ago and seen 1 league and 1 cup win. Awful day out without fail bar the decent pub at the station
 
We have actually got some results at Reading's smart, modern but maybe slightly characterless 'new' ground. I saw us win an FA Cup replay there 1-0 in CB's time - an FA Cup win I 've pretty well forgotten what that feels like. Their shabby previous ground Elm Park was a place where we almost invariably came to grief.
 
When an adult, a young adult and 2 kids can go for the same price of a single adult at some stadiums it’s hard to fault reading’s away policy, more clubs need to buck their ideas

Was that after the 3-3 at Deepdale when Davis scored two OGs?
 
I see that with the new ticketing system, you can no longer select am away seat from the block currently being sold. I noticed that at Mansfield too, but assumed that for a night League Cup game it might just be "sit where you like". All very well, except that some of us are pensioners with a dodgy leg that needs to stretch every minute or so. So I always used to book end of the row. Phoned the ticket office who said this would be the case for all away games this season, and they couldn't find a seat over the phone because they didn't have a map of the stadium either. To be fair they've offered to phone Reading to find out which are the end of rows. But it's not exactly progress - I can't remember the last time I booked a seat for anything - cinema, theatre, concert where you couldn't select your seat. So if I'm near you in the middle of the row, apologies if I suddenly stand up at a random time (of course if everyone stands, it won't be a problem.....)

Can't recall that game - based down here in London it is not one I would have seen. The replay was the Tuesday as I recall after the great 2-1 league win over West Ham with goals by Fuller and Healy. The match at Reading was bizarre - we were so superior initially we should have been about 5-0 up after 70 minutes but only had a single goal advantage can't remember who scored it. But then they made a substitution or two that changed the whole dynamic of the game and we ended up hanging on with a shot by them rolling just the wrong side of he post - from their point of view - in the last minute. Had it gone to extra time we would probably not have progressed.
