The club left it so late putting the tickets on sale that ours didn't arrive in the post in time.

If it was a Saturday I'd go, but it's too late on Sunday night and train tickets are £80

SWLR If the cup was pre-drawn I could have booked my train tickets early at a substantial discount, but due to the team's laboured progress and the ticketing shambles, I have to pay the full price.
Madejski, sort it out next time.


No need to pay for anything. Club are paying for all coach travel.

From the OS -
"Kit details
Supporters may like to know that we will be wearing black shirts, red shorts and red socks, as we did at Everton."

That's me out.

Well I can't get a 10:30 coach, so my only option is the train which yesterday cost £3.45 return and now is selling for £735.95.....

.......so I'll be there then.
