I defected tonight and headed for the Madjeski with a mate who's a Reading fan. They must have the most unbelievable set of supporters in the country, the ground is almost surreal. It's spookily clean, the ticket's are electronic, and the ground is almost silent with noise from the home fans. Prior to the game I hated Wednesday, but came out feeling sorry for Wednesday and bemused at how on earth such a woeful team with the fucking worst support I have seen since Nene Park on Boxing Day two seasons back are second in the league 9pts ahead of third.
They fucking belong in the Premiership with their plastic silent fans who weren't even singing at 2-0 and the team cruising. The second goal was especially ace, Glenn Little running from within his own half to the edge of their box and sliding in ginger-Parkin, Dave Kitson.
I hate Reading :x
We could learn a thing or two from them though, the electronic ticketting for a start - would save money on matchday staff! Also, it was quite obvious throughout the game the fullbacks were communicating with the ball boys, and seemed to be a pretty important part of their tactics, determining the pace at which the ball was given back!!

Got to agree with Walrus! I went to the Reading Vs Q.P.R game last season as my old man's a Q.P.R. man, we sat in the Away end which was good as i could take in the various chanting that the Away fans were doing whilst laughing at Readings piss poor 'sing when your winning' support. Q.P.R. came out with various chants, "Strawberry Blonde?, your having a laugh!" to Dave Kitson. "Your just a small Town in Swindon!" , Reading were as quite as a mouse. Unfortunately Reading won the game 1-0 in which Jamie Cureton got sent off. The only thing i was jealous about was a club who went from playing their games at a hell hole called 'Elm Park' to an amazing stadium in the 'Championship'. If only we could get a stadium like that.  |

As you scan it a light comes up saying what type of ticket it is, and there are a handful of stewards watching. It's possible you could get away with it, but would be very risky, and as many would get caught as those who got away with it. |
