Their away support has always been poor, as far as I remember. We've always taken thousands to their place, yet they don't turn up in numbers at ours.

Ive got family in Reading,, the place is no better than any other city or town in the UK. You got the rough with the smooth.
Agree with the sentiment though, piss poor for such a short trip down the M4. Have Reading always been seen as a Big club though???

Because a lot of people who live in Reading follow Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs etc and only buy season tickets & tickets when Reading are in the Prem, but dont follow Reading.

How many did we take to Bristol City last year. As Cardiff fans I think the last thing we should be doing is casting aspersions on other teams support. We ourselves have seen a significant drop in how many we take away.

Off course, I blame the plastics and hippy types for this who have sanitised our sport.

:old: :old:

Tis true, hence the lack of loyalty and lack of atmosphere.

It's all down to pricing,the cost of tickets, travel,food & drink for a game that is on Sky would cost over 100 quid.
