SitTee 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Im looking on the official site for away ticket news but the option for away tickets is gone now? Why is that?AlsoIm having a toss up of going to either Forest away or Reading away. Which one do you think i should go to? Forest average more fans than reading at the city ground and forest are doing worse than us so could be a good choice to see my first away win! Has anyone been to forest though in the away sections? As it seems pretty low so hope its not crap view.Cheers ma dears! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Have Heart 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Reading would be a better game, more qaulity on the pitch. But against forrest you may see a win haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berkshire Canary 12 Posted October 9, 2008 The form which Reading have been in of late would suggest that if you are looking to see a win Forest may be the better option, Reading have been immense at home as a load of my work colleagues take great pleasure in telling me. On the other hand the Forest game is on Sky and is a 5:20 kick off which may make it awkward getting back from the game depending on where you are based. Not been to The City Ground yet but can say that the Mad Stad is quite a nice example of modern stadia, the only problem with it are the Reading fans which frequent it!!!

I can honestly say in my 24 years of living in Reading I have never seen a rat running around the town centre during the day or at night for that matter - chavs on the other hand.....

Good city, ground has a bit of character and we definitely have more chance of winning (although IMHO we will probably lose both). Plus its a 5.20 kick off so lots of time to get on the beers in Nottingham beforehand! It is on sky though so you could watch it anyway and go to reading as well!Reading is a horrible soulless place, plastic newbuild stadium, few decent places to drink and we are bound to lose!

Although it is convenient you won''t see any of Nottingham and it is generally full of weirdo''s from what i recall (although not been on cc for over 12 years now!).Much better to get there early, have a few beers in the city and make a day of it!

Lord Flashheart 0 Posted October 9, 2008 To kiwi:I can only speak from personal experience but when travelling with CC you may find yourself either trapped next to noisy and obnoxious kids, cold and unfriendly locals, irritating Worthington fanatics that can''t seem to acknowledge that he''s gone, the troop of "regular" coach users that inhabit the Rendezvous that will shun you and sometimes go as far as verbal and psychological abuse if you dare sit in their seats, and a stop at that fecking barn-come-restaurant on the A17. All in all it''s not the ideal away day experience. Best to hook up with a bunch of fans, make some friends and travel to the game in your own time. Much more enjoyable.

Barclayend66 0 Posted October 9, 2008 I live in Derby so I will defo go to Forest but you have to be very careful where you park the car, I will get dropped off. Forest are not getting very big crowds at City Ground, (we have a chance of an away win). Not sure about Reading, I have not been. Derby away is easy for me, but again careful where you park, there should be offical carparks nearby but get there early as they are getting big gates at the minute.Good luck with your travel plans.

south stand corner terrace 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Hi,Have been to Forest on several occasions, have even stood on the old terrace where the seats now are. The view isnt to bad to be honest although when I went we were in the middle tier and won 3-1 with crook scoring. Actually sat behind Micky Thomas that night, what the hell he was doing there i''ll never know. Dont know what is going to be like on the lower section of the stand though.BTW, there is a good pub next to the cricket ground with a good mix of home and away fans.Have fun I think you will enjoy it.
