Stoke Away

[urz13]

150 left according to the club's twitter... Don't know whether they can easily open up more space or if they will have sold the rest of the tickets to home fans.

I don't think we'll sell the remaining 150 tbh

Not bad for a 250 allocation.

Thanks. Done. £30 saved. Owe you a beer, but as we will never meet, you will have to enjoy it virtually.

London Midland trains at 1728, 1828 and 1928 south from Stoke, but only 1728 goes straight through to London, others require a change at Rugby/Northampton.

1812 is a Virgin train, so no good for those on the LM Great Escape ticket.

Out, sadly. Can't do it. So I'm going to go to Maidenhead United instead I think.

A relegation scrap.

Or you could come and see a decent game at Stag Meadow.

One day, never seen Windsor play. More likely to go back to Reading Town in the near future though.

Correct. You can get the 6.28 via Rugby which takes an age to get to Euston. That's only half the journey if you need to get back to Reading. Decided against the voucher in the end and bought the Reading to Stoke cross country ticket.

Good luck to people trying the voucher on Virgin Trains, they'll have extra staff on tomorrow..

Or a VT train - £54 - one hour 20 from euston. 2 an hour.

Feeling like flu coming on and with srpog in tow, will be the latter.

RG, you saved me sq rt of fk all. No virtual ale for you.

Quite Possibly one of the worst Home Atmosphere's I've seen, made worse by the fact that they claim to be the best fans in the league. Thought our fans were decent throughout.

The police escorted bus ride from the station through all those red lights was bizarre. Royals treated like Royalty

We nipped into town rather than going where the police said... It was amazing how much security etc was around all the pubs considering it didn't really seem that different to a trip to the Madejski in term of atmosphere/ threats of violence. One of the bouncers realised we were Reading fans as we left, and joked about how he shouldn't have let us in, before recommending another home pub for us tro try.. Apart from the shitter weather, the lack of proper shops and buildings, and the general Northish-ness..
