It must be their lowest league crowd at their ground. Bad weather but I'm surprised it is so low. They can't include season ticket holders surely!

 

[jt64]

Do snowmen count in the attendance?

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Can't be right surely? They're averaging 17k

 

[cal the blade]

Reading are a league 1/2 club that have overachieved since the early 2000s leading to bigger attendances ... They used to average about 3 to 6 thousand between mid 70s and late 90s ... Fair enough they have a much bigger ground these days though

 

[Sheffsteel]

730 Blades on the away end.

Its Readings lowest league attendance since 18/12/1999 when 6223 watched a 2-2 draw v Wrexham. 409 games ago.

I assume Reading don’t include season tickets where as at most other clubs season ticket holders are automatically included.

 

[wizadry]

Atrocious from Reading, top effort from us considering we haven’t got a cat in hells chance of the playoffs.

 

[1973Blade]

It must be the lowest crowd in the Championship this season, not including Burton Albion (if that makes sense).

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Thought it looked empty on the stream but if that figure is true it’s even more embarrassing that they name their fans in the subs bench hahah

 

[grafikhaus]

The attendance took a hit because everybody stayed at home to watch Wednesday. (They thought Holby City would be on).

 

[LoughboroBlade]

That figure looks about right...

Miserable

 

[grafikhaus]

Only 8,198 at Swansea. And that included 10k Wednesday fans.

 

[northsomersetblade]

Cos it was bloody freezing. I’m leaning against a radiator right now and I am still nowhere near warmed up

 

[Bladesman]

Classy...

 

[Harry's Game]

Bad weather or not if the game was at the Lane tonight there would still have been over 20k there

Didn't realise the "13" next to the Reading fans meant how many were at the game

Giving a bad name to humans........Wjhat a sad tosser.

The whole number 12 being retired and dedicated to fans makes me cringe.. but what the significance with 13?? Also not as if Reading Fans are a known noisy bunch who attended in large numbers? Proper odd and proper plastic.. bit like the stadium and the club

When they put our team up on the scoreboard at the start it had “B Whiteman” instead of Lee Evans.

 

[Crouchy]

It's a 24k stadium. I guessed 7k. I'm usually wrong

Mind you, it was fucking freezing. I'm not surprised that they all stayed at home.

 

[vorpal blade]

The Majestick Stadium is miles outside town ... wonder if the buses weren't running?

 

[Bayingblade]

Only 8,198 at Swansea. And that included 10k Wednesday fans.

With a further 10k locked out!

 

[metalblade]

Reading ..................... the original plastic fans, always were a scummy little division 3 outfit until they got their sugar daddy.

 

[Kenilworth]

I remember going to Elm Park in the 80s and there was about 4k there.

We lost 1-0 in a shite game

 

[blade too long]

8198 at swansea to get a quarter final home tie with spurs

 

[drinksmat]

The Majestick Stadium is miles outside town ... wonder if the buses weren't running?

They were running. A few beers in town, bus to the ground, 3 points, sorted!

 

[Malaga Blade]

Even when getting smashed and effectively game over at 1-3, their fans were persisting with the ironic cheers following a poor pass or sloppy control from one of our lads, the kind you normally hear when that set of fans' team is in control and the game is winding down to an inevitable win. Odd club, always thought so.

I remember going to Elm Park in the 80s and there was about 4k there.

I remember being stood behind the goal at Elm Park when they had a young Shaka Hislop playing for them.
He was the man of the match and made loads of fantastic saves, think we lost.
They always had gates of 5,000 and were a similiar sized club (maybe a bit smaller) than their big rivals Oxford United.

Reading ..................... the original plastic fans, always were a scummy little division 3 outfit until they got their sugar daddy.

So so true, they are the original plastic club.
If they go down to league 1, their hardcore support will be back down to about 6000 or so.
