EFL Cup Round 3: Reading (A) Tues 15th 20:00 (1 Viewer)

[SpiderBee]

Yep Elizabeth line is free if you have a London Freedom pass, you just show the ticket guys at Reading station, There are football specials every 3 min the bus takes about 15mins. Love the football buses great banter, Always used the bus for Anfield and Goodison.

wheels on the bus go round and round and the driver is a ****

 

[Jay Bee]

Wonderful.

Now get the ticket details announced.

They've got a whole extra week now, don't expect to hear much until mid next week...

FFS the one date I couldn't do due to work commitments.

Feel your pain. It was the one date I couldn't do.

 

[Rob Bartram]

Feel your pain. It was the one date I couldn't do.

Same position

Finish work in London Bridge at 19:00 - too tight for 20:00 kick off.

 

[nocoat]

That had done me up like a massive kipper

Did not see that coming

 

[maddogging]

Oh well, my sporting week will now look like

Saturday: Bournemouth v Bees
Tuesday: Reading v Bees
Friday: Texas Rangers v Blue Jays
Sunday: Dallas Cowboys v Commanders

Bring it on

 

[Tudor bee]

Ah f***. I can’t make it now

 

[North London Bee]

Me neither. Fed up!

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

So just the 1500 tickets needed then not the 5000+

Back to being small @nick logan

 

[hanwellbee]

Ah f***. I can’t make it now

No, me neither...

 

[Simon W]

I’m in Dallas that week too! good set of fixtures there

 

[hanwellbee]

No, me neither...

The one of the fourbi couldn't do... f*** sky

 

[Tudor bee]

No, me neither...

Bloody typical!

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

Bollox. Already coming back from a week away a day early for Chelsea. 15th is rubbish

 

[jlove]

We're ****ed with that date, too. A safe-sitting seat on the sofa, then... and It's my closest stadium!

It's a completely bizarre decision for Reading v Oxford to be postponed and then have our fixture on the 15th

 

[Rob Bartram]

Agreed. For that reason I was banking on the 8th/9th. 15th has messed up my plans to attend

 

[taxi driver]

Well amongst all the disappointment my son and I can now make it

 

[nick logan]

It’s reading , book a half day

 

[Banana]

It’s reading , book a half day

reading what?

 

[Frothybaby]

Oh goodie, I have a chance for a ticket then. Not been since Vibe scored the only goal.

 

[Edmundo]

Aaaaagh, won’t even be able to watch it on tv, as will be flying back from Italy at that exact time!

 

[BigMarv]

+1 on the FFS I can’t make the fixture now

What's wrong with people? Did you plan your schedules around announcements from two small clubs?

My son is self-employed and can't afford to mess his customers around, although there's a few he knows he has flexibility with. He could've juggled the 8th but he has absolute commitments on 14-15th plus 16th (which is an early start off-the-books job ), so he's completely trapped.

My 9am Wednesday has been in the schedule for literally two years

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

15th All good….bring it on

 

[horshambees]

15th works for me.
Looks like all the sprogs involved too.

Could be even more so if there's anyone from the Inland Revenue on here

 

[Simon C]

My 830 is also long standing but it's not a morning KO

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

Booked half days holiday from work for it.

According to Oxford, the game against Reading has been postponed due to Reading's involvement in the Carabao Cup 3rd Round. Very confused.

Not met anyone self employed who works past 4pm!

When your customer is generally on-site, then starting a bit late is not too bad but finishing early is inviting them to deduct it from the bill.

 

[fencer/bee]

Not met anyone self employed who works past 4pm!

Absolutely, no fencing is put up on site after 3:45pm week days , its the law

Everton forced to move Carabao Cup tie with Wolves at short notice

Everton are forced to move their Carabao Cup third-round match against Championship side Wolves - nine days before it was due to be played.

What's the likelihood the EFL and Sky look to fill the Wednesday 9th slot with one of the other 9 fixtures taking place on w/c 14th September?

 

[Wilton Bee]

Why is there still no mention of this tie on the website either in News or the Fixtures sections!!

It's in BFC's Calendar that sync's with mine and has the correct date and time. Something seems to be working.

Its been a bank holiday weekend for some !

 

[Windmill Rd Bee]

I do think it’s a bit crap that we’ve got to play Sat-Tue-Fri at a relatively uncrowded time of the season for seemingly no good reason. Yes we’ll make plenty of changes but at least one player, probably Collins, will likely have to play 270 mins in 6 days.

Tweet from their "noisy section" people.
Looks like we are getting the whole South Stand which is their loss, our gain

Home prices announced by Reading. Assume ours will be the same.

 

[Idaho Bee]

Wow those are cheap prices. 12 quid for us old farts.

 

[Glen_Bee]

Wow those are cheap prices. 12 quid for us old farts.

You’re presuming they’ll charge us the same as home fans!

Home prices announced by Reading. Assume ours will be the same.

Info there also implies no home fans in the south stand. Also they won't open the West Stand Upper at all FWIW.

Note the usual split between away fans and Club 1871 in the home end on this map of normal seating. If you're in dark mode it's tricky to read the stand labels.

Getting Club 1871 area also means we get their safe standing seats

 

[aslan]

It'll be like a home game. Get'em on sale Brentford!

Is it ? About average for league cup these days. I’d have expected adults to have been a tenner
