Canuck 0 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I know away days are all good, but how does Reading stack up? I have heard that it's a plastic stadium away from town (a bus to get there from the train station!?!) I have also heard that not many come from the N-E and the allocation is taken up by Southern Mags. Anyone on here go last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 the atmosphere was dreadful, full of cockney mags. sitting down was prevelant throughout the game. A horrid experience!!!!!!! I was in the corner (yes the Newcastle end) right next to the east stand and we were all standing the whole game. Plastic stadium? Fuck off. But aye there's a short (and i mean short) bus ride from the station, plenty of local pubs if you travel beyond the Madesjki to Spencers Wood (where I live ) where away fans congregate.

WubbleUC 0 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) Of course it was full of London based mags, it was the middle of the fucking week! It's like that quite a bit when we play midweek in the south. I didn't think it was that bad. It might look flatpack from the outside but on the inside it was fairly impressive I thought. I was right on the divide in the corner and we stood all game, unhassled. To be honest like, you can't really judge an away game til you've done it more than once, as each visit differs.

Meenzer 14031 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Thought it was OK myself. Slightly over-zealous on the stewarding side, but where isn't these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Geordie 1 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I enjoyed it but didn't enjoy the hassle of the stewards.. Being in the front row I felt like a muppet standing when there were people around me sitting... Was tempted to move up the back! Dunno what ya chattin bout Brock, didn't know there were any away pubs around, seeing as the ground is in the middle of nowhere! Travelling from bristol we went to a few nice bars in town before the game. Was very drunk by the time I got to the ground which is why it was so frustrating being told to sit down! I'll go next year if its a 3 oclock saturday kick off, if not I dunno if its worth the hassle and the disappointment of being made to sit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 heavy stewarding, no spare tickets, dreadful parking, no pubs near rthe ground might get better in 2008 when they extend the ground and get a railway station there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pub or two 15-20 mins walk away or so that isn't as crowded as the ones in town can get. The Swan and the Farrier's Arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
