Re: The Academy

All I was doing in this Thread was letting everybody know a bit of inside info, but to oxf*rd with being called a Reading Reject. There are some sensible posters on here, but the majority are retarded, I mean HTF do you chat with someone who states Derby have unearthed no talent in the last few yea...

Re: The dreaded vote of confidence

Madstad to Nadderud
Reading FC has a histroy of selling their best players so what is happening (e.g. Kitson) or may happen with several other players is nothing new.


It's nothing new to 95% of the teams in the league.

Actually, it's nothing new to 100% of the teams !

Re: The Academy

So Berry, on the one hand the fact that Chelsea wanted Rogers is your evidence that th ebloke is good. Yet do you not recall James Henry being chased by Chelsea and turning them down to stay with us ? The same James Henry you dismiss ? So which is it ? Does interest from Chelsea prove someone is top...

Re: Kitson signs for Stoke for £5.5 million

Absolutely ! It would be odd if everyone thought the same. I guess my thinking was that what a player does on the pitch is more important than what they say, and feeling you have completley lost interest in football becasue Kitson has moved clubs was a bit extreme ! I'm sure he'll still shout his m...

Re: 11762 season tickets renewed

:roll: If they stop selling season tickets, people who want to go to every game will have to pay for each game, thus netting the club more money. Will it ? Another interesting exercise in calculating whether getting all the money up front and getting the interest on it is worth more than getting it...

Roger the Rabbit Was it just last week Coppell was getting slated becasue he wasn't giving the youngsters a try ?

But I doubt anyone was advocating he got rid of Kitson and tried an academy product in his place!!


Nor is Coppell saying that's what he'll do....

Re: The dreaded vote of confidence

You could argue that as a Championship side we are much more attractive to buyers, but the deal is less attractive to JM. Our selling price will be much less, and the immediate rewards less, but we're still a well run club in a good location. A buyer might now think that an investment of £40 millio...

Re: Kitson signs for Stoke for £5.5 million

Big Foot I can think of a number of players who are way, way more connected to the fans than Kitson ever was. It's not as if he was even the only one who made the odd controversial comment in the media... It's a bizarre reason to quote for claiming your 'love affair' has ended, A lot of Kitson's co...

Sounds like the HNA experts have got their message across and he's going to let the Academy kids show waht they can do ! Or else he's just making the obvious point that with Kitson gone there is an oppor...

Re: 11762 season tickets renewed

I'm not 100% sure but I suspect there is no difference between 'reserving' a seat and having sold it - on the system at least. So if 123 Z was sold for the first game of the season and 124 Z was sold for the second anyone then trying to buy it as a season ticket would see that it was unavailable and...

Re: Kitson signs for Stoke for £5.5 million

Have we forgotten that we were a small, lower league, club not so long ago? Clearly Mr Ego hasn't, as that's what we have reverted to. Um, no we haven't ! We may be 'Lower League' in terms of being lower than where we were last season but the Championship is not what is generally considered a 'lowe...

Re: 11762 season tickets renewed

I'm just not sure why they need to hold any back. If they've sold seat 123 Row Z for Plymouth and someone wants a season ticket in that area and 124 Z is available then they buy that. They could even sell them a season ticket for 123 Z but bar the season ticket for the Plymouth game and issue a pape...
