Over 3,500 tickets sold now less than 500 left http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2478360,00.html

Football special Buses are available from the station to and form the ground, so if you are in Three Guieas no need for cabs NB Last time we played up a Reading when we took 3600 fans, they didn't have anywhere near enough buses on to get all of our supporters back to the station after the game, hopefully they will be better prepared this time

you can also use Group 4 tickets on the local trains from Basingstoke to Reading which run every half hour at 07 or 37, the only trains you cannot Group 4 for on the Reading are Cross Country Trains. There are three trains an most hours to Basingstoke leaving at 00, 30 (change at Winchester) and 51

Well the normal away section in the Arkells stand was completely full, and i would say there were easily another 4 -500 behind the goal that night stand by my earlier quote of over 1600. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/swindon_town/ "Away fans are located in the Arkells Stand at one side of the pitch, where up to 1,200 fans can be housed".

Why don't you just return them to ticket office where you would get full refund of £50 ?

NB - Engineering works between Southampton and Romsey that day so need to get up to Eastleigh to catch Bristol Trains

Indeed Guly won more headers defending in our penalty area than anyone else especially from the long throw in's Cardiif were using

On halfway line according to this plan of the ground http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slika:Selhurst_Park.JPG

Nb engineering works mean you'll need to get bus to Basingstoke to get to Reading

Group save 4 tickets are not valid on cross country trains, but you can still get to Reading in a little over an hour changing at Basingstoke. Also worth noting kids can travel for £1 if on group 4 if you have 4 adults in group

So the 'table' would look like this: P W D L F A Pts 9 3 2 4 11 12 8 So, why is our recent record against Northern teams relatively-speaking (i.e. in comparison to our other results) so bad? it's not great, but also not as bad as you make out, for a start we only lost 2-0 at Rochdale, stats should be P W D L F A Pts 9 3 2 4 11 10 11 so more than a point a game which isn't too bad

saints away coaches advertised in the Echoo again on Monday and were offering trips to Burnley and Cardiff

incorrect its another example of people with no wage rises in the past few years cutting back and missing what in effect was a reserve game

No it would have been the top rank / speedway end or whatever that was called in those days, City End ?

it's all a planned publicity stunt to push Arsenal's super dooper horrible new badge, probably part of Chambo's contract was to kiss the badge if he scores

I too was under the West Stand at Archers end. I remember clearly the Spurs fans cutting holes in the newly erected fence before and during the game and expected the worse if we beat them. However at the end all that happened was that Spurs fans pressed up against the gaps in the fence got thumped by Saints fans celebrating on the pitch. I think it would have been a different story though had Spurs not got promoted Also a few days before the this game at Orient a few Spurs fans turned up and made it obvious who they were and got sorted out by some of the 12,000 saints fans in the crowd

Think West Ham despite being midweek will be a good crowd, and as hospitallity should be fairly good for that game

last season our away avaearage was about 1600 and we seldom had below 1000, only 500 Oldham (evening game), 600 Hartlepool and 900 Carlisle I would have thought felll below that level. Our average would have been higher had it not been for the large number of midweek away games and the restricted capacities or allocations we were given eg Brighton 900 tickets, Bournemouth 1200(when Brighton were given 2,300) We have already had a great turn at Leicester 2682 and the 1200 at Ipswich for a midweek game was pretty good You only get the Hardcore of around 1000 to most northern games, but for games in the midlands out turnouts are improving around 2,200 at Notts Co. last year 200 0 at Walsall year before, and we had nearly 2000 at Leeds a couple of years ago. So we are not quite up with the big boys but our away support has got better in the last couple of seasons and I would expect our avarage to be around 1,800 at end of the season helped by good turn outs at Reading, P8mpey, Brighton, Palace, Watford and Bristol City

Because their official site is still talking about they have 1000 tickets for this game, which suggests they haen't yet sold their initially allocation

Game was moved to Sunday 3 PM KO due to Birmingham playing in Europa League on Thursday So Sky not now televising game

not precise but announcement at end of game said just 1600 and something, which I thought was pretty good given only knew who we were playing 6 days before the game

details announced today Can't see why they needed to announce datails earlier only restricted areas of three stands open, doubt if we'll get 10K given we have two home games in 8 days just before this game http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2443473,00.html
