Attendance watch 2011-2012

[sandman]

17,418 v Boro.

Right. To avoid your post being the most pointless one in history, can we have some analysis of his figure please with some sort of a nice conclusion which insinuates that Reading are a tin-pot club. And a crescent of crisps. And a hot egg. Any time in the next 5 minutes.

15k+ against Donny, 17k+ agains Boro. If that trend continues I expect us to be getting a higher attendence than Chelsea by March.

How's that?

Have to remember that half of Chelsea's attendance is accounted for by the free flag in every other seat.

Cue pROFLedictabLOLe rumblestix comeback.

TBF, why would your average Burnley fan want to turn up and see his side get beaten?

[who are ya?]

Against a 2 bob club like us aswell.

[melonhead]

Yep. Fair few more at their home game against the mighty Watford.

[sandman]

Really? How fascinating. Please, tell us more.

Just over 15k tonight. 2k down on the last home game.

[sandman]

Amazing. Going to the Bridge tomorrow?

Yesssssssssssssssssssss.

Also, you as a crowd need to play your part as your home form is a shocker. 6 points from a possible 18. Louder cheers for Robbie Savage than during the game tonight.

I was going to go but they needed spare seats for free flags.

Not heard that one before Kessers.

Worth noting that Southampton got 32k, maybe we should have gone down the toss money away like you like route, they seem to be doing better for it.

Note to J Mad, if you want RFC to be a bigger club we need more fans, Reading middle class town, which is where the money is in short supply.

No, they were empty seats, some people don't want to see two average teams on a cold Tuesday night. Not as pathetic as failing to sell out for the biggest club competition in the world tbf.

They did spend several years playing at a significantly lower level than us for it. And adding 5000 fans to our average attendence is going to add less than £2.5m, which while extremely handy, isn't going to make a huge difference to our turnover, or performance. It's not even the oft brought up black hole.

That's because fans are boycotting the match to protest about prices.

Yes, it's fans boycotting due to the massive hike in CL group stage games. However, it's good to see the club doing a good gesture.
