No home pre-season game (update - v Reading U21)

[djg145]

We are playing Readings 3rd team, in effect. Not the first team, not the reserves. I'm sure they will be technically good, probably quiet athletic. That said, we should be playing someone's first team, from league 1. But we aren't, so let's move on.

What disappoints me tho, is that the club have made it annoyingly awkward to pay a reasonable entrance fee. For those that may have gone, to get tickets in advance to save 2 quid will more than likely put them off. Why don't they just charge £5 for adults and £3 for everyone else? We'll be lucky to get 3k through the turnstiles I'm afraid

3,000!!!! you are having a laugh, arn't you? :funny:

Think they will be lucky to have half that through the gate to watch what is in effect a championship u21 team.

I thought people would want to watch their own team?

...depends on who argyle are playing ...if its a premiership team then a good crowd is obvious and maybe a profit as well...Reading under 21's you're having a laugh....embarassing at best...most unprofessional at worst...and the club has the neck to charge an extra £2 on the day...you couldn't make it up...

It would be a bit boring just watching eleven players all game.

 

[Gary Wills]

Even chain-admin-cheats Pompey have an equally shameful training game schedule faeturing away at gills and Coventry. But maybe they're developing their stadium.

 

[Bermudian Green]

Forest Green will be more of a challenge!

Paul Maxwell will be looking forward to it

He's been suspended

http://www.gloucestercitizen.co.uk/Fore ... story.html

He's managed to make a remarkable mess of a promising career.

 

[IJN]

Let's be careful of what we say about him.

His legal people went mightily close to sueing this site about 6 years ago and I'd hate a repeat of that nonsense!

Spot on.

 

[Josh Pope]

Think oddball is probably right on this one, and I do wonder if we'll break the 1k figure.

 

[up the line]

I see Exeter have Bournemouth at home tomorrow......

 

[CornishPaul]

Would be nice to get to play in Germany or something like that. Ipswich played out there this week and had around 650 out there following them. Fantastic support for pre season.

 

[pastiesforlife]

The game against Forest Green may be our last chance to play at Nailsworth as they have announced plans for a £100M new stadium. For that they can accommodate 5,000 supporters but with the capability to double the size. It will be near J13 of M5.

They are bankrolled by an Eco power guy ( who recently had to pay his ex wife millions despite splitting from her 20 years ago).

Many of our supporters would love such a sugar daddy but be warned. The owner also enforces a red meat ban on players and produce sold on match days. That would mean no more pasties.
