Would almost take a draw I think given the tough midweek game with AET and players missing.

Will keep them behind us and we've then got a week off.

Warnock's last game tomorrow for Palace probably - can see them sliding now.

Remember the Barry game and agree was scary. Think it kicked off at 2PM as they didn't have floodlights. First cup game I went to got in for free - I think it was 1972 & we beat Blythe Spartans 6-1 in a 3rd round replay and it was played midweek afternoon (why? maybe power cuts as loads of miner...

Someone posted something similar on another thread yesterday - just changed the last line as it fits better

WBA 0-1 READING

Diving header through a load of boots - similar to Linden Jones goal there in 1988 - same scoreline.

Has to be Shaka over Death in view if levels played at - most of Death's career was in Div 4. I just wonder how many more years Death would have carried on though if he hadn't fallen out with the club as he was only 30 odd when he left. I've never been totally sure what happened - did the club sell ...

Despite yesterday's defeat, we have moved out of the bottom three this week despite playing twice away whilst Plymouth, Sheff W, Scunny, & Palace have all played twice at home. This leaves us with 9 home games from last 15 - most look winnable and we haven't lost at home for over 2 months includ...

Apart from Scunthorpe good scores at the moment - QPR off though so if more rain tomorrow (and its forecast) we could be off as well - Selhurst Park has got a record of games called off through waterlogged pitches.

It probably is - sorry - been away from Reading a long time

Prior to Kebe's goal, Reading's fastest was 12.96 seconds scored by Mark White against York City on 27th April 1984. Reading lost 1-2. I remember that goal was at the Town End but cannot remember how it was scored. As Branfoot was manager we probably did our standard kick off - hoofed towards the t...

1-1 Draw. How annoying is this ground to get to? I'm even coming from south London where my other half lives, and it's still a pain in the arse. Easiest game of season for me - its on the way home from work on the London Bridge - Brighton line :D - agree though its a terrible journey from Reading. ...

Brizzle City at EP in October 1994 - barely enough time to restart the match afterwards Posh away in November 2001 - 1 nil down, Darius (the crap immobile fat one) equalises, then nets an uber-late winner to send the travelling hordes wild. Remember that one - Gilksey and on his right foot! HE scor...

For Seahawk's benefit, here is Friday's goal. Check out other pictures from that memorable evening on my Picasa album: http://picasaweb.google.com/baz.greenaway/ReadingVTranmere31stMarch1976?feat=directlink http://lh6.ggpht.com/_yiyMYGpgDv0/RvfJjYul2GI/AAAAAAAAAGA/Xxkl7xMqp60/s912/Robin%20Friday%20...

This is massive.

If we win , I reckon we stay up - firstly we go 8 clear of them, secondly we prob get out of bottom 3 and thirdly 3 wins on the bounce is massive for confidence.

If we draw its much as now

If we lose we're right back in it

Anyone remember Mark White's own goal against I think Hartlepool (1977/78?).

Freezing day and bone hard pitch - he hit a back pass from somewhere near the half way line and it bounced over Steve Death's head.

not sure early to mid 1970's remember Sunday lunchtime kick-offs (to beat the power-cuts) remember Ces Podd playing for Bradford remember Andy Alleyne playing for Reading remember beating Exeter 4-3 ( with their goalkeeper looking a lot like Bob Wilson..................and his name being Bob Wilson...

First Reading game was at the Manor Ground with a 2-1 win against Oxford in May 83. I was in the home end :roll: We still went down. First live game ever was Wolves v Arsenal c. 1972...it snowed and Bob Wilson had a mare.......Wolves won 5-1 I remember that one - we were 1-0 down with a few mins le...

Was the biggest crowd I have been in at Elm Park. Yes me to and as far as I can remember EP was filled to capacity (it was a very tight squeeze on the South Bank) which I think was 25,000 at the time - reduced dramtically after a certain stadium disaster. Didn't we get 27,500 for a Leageu cup repla...

Story breaking down here is that he has asked for a transfer - I think he is out of contract at end of season anyway.

I have seen BHA a couple of times this season and he has been their best player by a mile.

Should we get him on loan? I reckon he could be a good impact sub - still got the pace.

45 & first game in Spring 1971 vs Preston under Jack Mansell. We won 1-0 which was a surprise as they were top and we were bottom 4 and indeed were relegated a month later. Went behind the Tilehurst end with my dad and remember some hard looking Preston fans (they probably weren't but to a 7 yea...

He owes us.

Has done well for Hull which just shows he couldn't be arsed last season and it is people like him which cost us promotion.
