Not the first choice draw but its one we can certainly cause them a few problems in providing we don't freeze on the day like we did with Coventry back in 2009. Not sure if it will be in telly, Chesterfield, Swindon, Villa Man U, Yeovil will all be ahead in the list. Rather have a Saturday game anyway.
If Reading wont sell, give them a 1000 and open half of the south stand to home fans like we did with Rushden game back in 2000. Im sure we did the same with Stockport game in 2013?
They did open half of the South stand for home fans for the Stockport game although I'm not sure that was originally the intention. I had an East stand season ticket that day and remarkably was refused entry to the East stand just before 3pm because the stewards said it was full. They suggested that I and a few others try and gain access to the south stand terrace instead. When we got there it was chaotic and they just let anyone walk in. I never had to show anyone my ticket.

Hopefully this time round they are a bit better prepared although I suspect Reading will sell the full 1600 or so meaning it is a bit of a moot point.

Sounds about par for the course. I'm afraid we usually get it wrong when there's a big crowd. Just not used to it. Best advice is come early.

Covid passports for the Reading game then if my reading of the new restrictions is right. More costs and complications for the club and fans.
The best team we ever had- since i've been watching the Harriers (2002-)

Is this what the ‘conspiracy theorists’ predicted some time ago? The people we widely ridiculed and mocked. Medical apartheid here we come

Passports which do nothing, you mean? Passports which don’t stop you getting it or spreading it? How anyone can think this is acceptable is beyond me

So whether you agree with them or not, passports are useless and ineffective either way then?

Exactly Flashheart. Waving a Covid passport around doesn't stop you getting it or passing it on. Chocolate teapot comes to mind.

If passports encourage non jabbers to get jabbed, then they have done some good for all.

Listen, I’m fully vaccinated and that was my personal choice, even though I am low risk from Covid. I respect the decision of those who have chosen not to get vaccinated though, because I am pro-choice and I would expect the same courtesy from others.

I'll reiterate that passports in themselves won't stop virus transmissibility but, however, getting jabbed will hugely reduce hospitalisations. This in turn will reduce pressure on the NHS consequently it is imperative that people do have their appropriate vaccinations.
I'll agree that perhaps passports will be a catalyst for more people to get jabbed.
We should certainly all be in this together.
Given the chance I shall definitely be there in January. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

No on both accounts, but I'm not about to get into a long-winded political discussion on here. Saw opposition and simply posted for the purpose of balance.

I don`t wish for this to be an argument over the jab on a football site, but i think you miss the point. The jab it is not only to protect you, but also to protect others, some may be vulnerable.

At the end of the day, I’m fully jabbed, so there is no argument to be had with me. End of discussion.
