What sort of Reading team will it be though? It says they will send "a team"-hardly likely to be of championship standard if they're playing Swansea the night before. Don't think i'll be making a big effort for this one.

the reserves basically we will be there elburton.

Call me a old cynic..proberly Readings youth team plus a splattering of reserve team players coming back from injury..there not unprofessional like us there would have already booked there pre season first team games long ago

hopefully the club won't be charging for this big name clash. they might as well throw the doors open and make the afternoon a bit of fun.

Joking arent you? the club will be coming up with witty banners like "raving for reading", getting the drummer boy to film a matchday moments, charging way over the odds to basically watch readings reserves play us, have that pie face do halftime 50/50 and then pending on the result sell plenty of half n half mugs, scarfs photos and unveil a new mural too mark the occasion.

in short they will try and milk as much cash as they can out of it.

It is Readings under21's.

Pathetic.

Double pathetic, an insult.

Confirmed as Reading's u21s-

£8 to watch that. £6 in advance. Wtf is the point in inconveniencing people into traipsing up to Home Park in advance, to buy tickets for a wanky kick about against kids?

Tossers.

I dont think we could have gotten any better than an U21 team to be fair it is a bit late in the day to attract any prem/championship team down here when they have all their plans put in place.

Oh well maybe next time when the manager quits a couple of weeks after the season ends, the club wont wait till they hire a new manager a few weeks later to then start planning some pre season games. PPPPPP

£6 for adults and £3 for concessions. Ticket prices will rise on the day of the game by £2

how is it right that for a friendly game against a u21 team the club can justify upping the price by £2 on the day when the majority will buy their tickets on.

Reading's under 21's..oh dear oh dear what next a rally the troops speech from plebby for this massive game trying to put bums on seats for his bum chum jim

Reading under 21's ? How much more of this shit are Argyle fans going to take? .. Another First under Team Clown, a joke match against Reading yoof! Just go Brent.

I can't believe the Avivas truly think this is down to Sheridan. Starnes organises friendlies and whilst the manager might give him a steer or call in a favour this has nothing to do with Sheridan and all to do with this club being run as an afterthought.

Sheridan might not be everyone's cup of tea but it shows a lack of class and loyalty to shove all the blame his way. Wankers.

Its just another rewriting of history tactic from the avivas to paint sheridan as someone worse than fletcher was. Give it a year or two and they will start to remember him a bit more respectfully for what he achieved here.

I thought we d play reading somehow...... U21s jeez will tickets sell out ?

Reading U21..... are in the Barclay Premier U21 League....they might be too good for us.

they will be the hardest test out of all the pre season teams thats for sure. They are a good side in there own right so it will be much needed test for the team.

You can be sure as eggs are eggs that if as the season goes on and people like Harvey and Purrington don't make the grade, Sheridan will get the blame for ruining the progress of those players during his time here rather than any logical analysis of the Argyle youth system taking place. Some are already blaming the bloke for the lack of permanent signings [apparently overspending last years budget which is demonstrably untrue if the words of Starnes towards the end of last season are to be believed] made by Adams when it's as plain as punch that the loan system is basically going to be the MO under the present regime. There seems to be a sort of delusion taking place with some supporters in which all problems are projected on to the previous manager which is very worrying for those of us who believe that far deeper issues are in play.

Are we playing the Bideford under sevens on saturday or is it the full might of the Bideford first team?.
