Great to see Gideon clinching it. Wish he’d been retained.

What a brilliant comeback by the resurgent National League club.

Shame about the kit!

Lots of Reading fans thinking they can’t sink any lower! Such short memories

It takes something pretty special to be leading 2-0 at 92mins and still go on and lose.

Utterly insanse!

Wonder how many Reading fans had rucked off to their cars assuming a comfy win had been banked!

No need to leave early with only 3900 odd in the ground

Lol.

That must have felt surreal.

It’s a cool evening on the midwestern prairie, but i am warmed by the though that both Reading and Plymouth might get relegated.

How did Oxford and Millwall get away with this clash?

Its ludicrous

Who scored?

Crazy clash that!

That’s a fake

(The yellow goals should have been a clue)

Can’t believe I’ve fallen for that.

Mind you @malone, our gate was quite poor yesterday. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was walking up Hillbottom Rd and how easy it was to get into the various car parks.

It is a real shame that the FA cup doesn’t seem to be such a big draw for the fans anymore.

If you look at other gates in Rd1 I thought ours was pretty decent at 3571.

Reading v Carlisle - 3929 - Average League Gate 12147 - 32%

Bolton v Huddersfield - 6077 - Average League Gate 21397 - 24%

Posh v Cardiff - 4405 - Average League Gate 8950 - 49%

Wycombe v Plymouth - 3571 - Average League Gate 5405 - 66%

Yes a good comparison list that.

League count all ST whether in attendance or not. Paying extra, especially in run up to Xmas (yes I used that word in November), might stretch a few household’s budgets. All in all can’t say I’m surprised how FA cup attendances are low, particularly for early rounds.

I know it’s not quite the same, as it ended up in a draw, but you inspired me to watch that Lowry goal to go back to 2-2 the other week on You Tube :smiley:

I think the low costs for the game helped our attendance otherwise we might have seen a sub 3000.

The club got the Tuesday night and Saturday cup games spot on with pricing
