Reading
Jonathan Hall ☆☆☆☆☆☆:
Getting in was crap, not used to having the majority of fans turning up in the last 30 minutes. Fine once you got to the stewards checking tickets 5 yds from turnstyle.
Major problems about 2.55pm which i missed by minutes as due to the amount of people and crap stewarding / policing they deceided to close turnstyles and send the horses in to clear the area. Muppet policing, of which the Merseyside plod agreed with and thay have already put a complaint in via Ged Poynton.

I was listening to Alan Greens phone in on five live last night and a liverpool fan called and said it was a disgrace the way the stewards and police there handled the crowd while they waited to get in. His main grief was the lack of turnstyles and the automated ticket access because the ticket never gave the info on which way to put it in the machine to open turnstiles and there where no stewards to assist you which caused a delay getting in and those that where around where none to helpful, and held up the crowd more because they complained. The caller got the sympathy from Alan Green but I heard no more callers confirming his version on the phone in last night did anyone else have similar problems getting in at reading?

Yep and i know the lad who phoned. No signs to advise how to work the turnstyles and delays caused by that made the crowd build up worse. Considering i can walk to my turnstyle at Anfield 5 mins before start and have time for a piss and get to seat before kickoff says a lot.
Must have assumed we got in the same way, infact slower than getting an operator tearing the stub off.

I wasn't happy hearing about the pregnant girl almost getting crushed by a police horse or what sounded like you do as we say when we say attitude from the stewards or from the guys phone in report gave the impression they where out to make a name for themselves (pushing the big guys around sort of thing) but I could be totally wrong as I'm going off the radio report, but something must be amiss or the guy wouldn't have called up national radio to air his views.

parked just off basingstoke Rd. and got in dead easy, i went in early though, and heard off a few lads it was a bit of a nightmare later on.
Was home by 8.20
