SpaceCruiser They should actually be letting less Man Utd fans in next time around due to their persistent standing. However, wonder which counts most, income or safety?

That's down to the FA/Premier League, not RFC.


Nope, it's actually down to the Football Licensing Authority and Reading Borough Council - who are responsible for issuing the safety certificate for matches at the MadStad. Under current legislation neither the football authorities nor anyone else within the football industry has anything to do with this.

PS, and it should actually be "fewer Man Utd fans" ... :wink:

More conclusive evidence that an expansion is not required:

I have also been inundated with texts from the club of late urging me to buy tickets. I keep replying that home games are for gheyers but still they send them.

I honestly don't know, depends how old that picture is, it's well know that back in my hoolie days I did go to a fair few RFC games.

It must be quite an old picture because most of "hooligan's" hair is shaved off now. Mind you, that would mean you were sat behind him, which would mean you were sat near us and you haven't been sat near us since the Mad Stad opened, therefore, it must be an away game.

An away game would make sense, you'd never have got 3 people sat so close to each other a few seasons ago.

*£11 refers to Under 12 price at the fixture with Bolton, price for the Aston Villa fixture is £16.
£16 for an under 12 :(

They must be getting even more desperate now to shift tickets. :wink:

They are offering employees of the company I work a free member card and £5 off a match ticket for the Bolton and Villa games.

I actually think this shows that the club is now actively trying to increase the fanbase further and has very little to do with a slackening demand.

Villa 12-30 sunday, another game my dad will not bother with. IMHO games moved for television should mean ST holders can get a credit if they cannot attend.
