Reading are allocating us more tickets this afternoon - message from Reading - We are sending a further allocation to Charlton this afternoon and they should be with them tomorrow. It may be work contacting them directly to see when they plan to go back on sale.
An owner who's only interested in cutting his losses was never likely to refuse the chance of selling more tickets to away fans...
Their average attendance is half of capacity and we're not exactly a notoriously violent set of travelling fans, so i'm sure they could easily give us 3-4k.
Issue of course is that we're not going to sell that many in 5 more days.
i think we would sell the 4300 if they gave them to us - its a big big game and with the new manager buzz and the fact its so easy to get there now with the Elizabeth line, i don't think we'd have trouble shifting them
We sold out Old Trafford away, why not do a 50/50 stadium split on the day with Reading..

If its such a big big game , why did it take 2 weeks to sell out the original allocation of tickets?

Elizabeth Line Derby. I’m using my over 60’s travel card as far as it will take me. Might leave it at that and then just turn around and go home and give the match a miss 😳
