There are about 18000 to 20000 people at most home games and about 200-300 at away games. I don't know how many of the approx 18000 people who do not go to away games make comments on here but I will tell you now that, as somebody who goes to away games ,I am sick of being called an RTG (as if that ...

Your mickey mouse, get over it. Your mickey mouse, get over it. Whose mickey mouse? I am not sure what somebody's puppet has to do with things. However.. In my opinion hts was a good post and the more people realise that things have got out of hand in the football world the better. We,like the newe...

I agree with most of the games mentioned, but one I particularly remember was in 1998 when we were going to be relegated and Sunderland were high in the league and the Stadium of Light was new. We had an evening match there and rthe crowd was (roughly, from memory) 44,000 plus and it was announced a...

Shouldn't this be under "unfounded rumours and gossip?

I think you will findthat SC said that Palace wuld not do business with HIM. I think it has been mentioned many times that he and Simon Jordan do not get on, so it is not surprising. I am afraid that there are so many cynics on this board that it might be a good idea if they came along to hear what ...

im officially bored of people who still try and defend Bobby Convey, apart from 1 season he has been a total and utter waste of space.

Were you at the game on Saturday? Whose centre was spot on for Sonks to score?

Answering on his behalf ... Fanzines. Which I imagine could be as reactionary as on here. In fact, is some of this debate a response to the limited fanzine 'culture' we've had at our club? Yeah, but our only fanzine is out once a month at best and it's letters page is full of made up quotes. HNA is...

muppet_ The official Reading FC Annual has got Shane Long down as being number 9

Even our own club hate us! Disgraceful!

Or planning ahead because they know Doyle is going?

I wonder who compiled that Annual? I understand it has left our club captain out so it can hardly be taken as gospel.

Coppell clearly has a massive problem with Fae, as it seems he does with anyone he spends significant money on. Relatively significant money on. His confidence most be in shreads after not really being given a chance and then dropped from the squad. I thnk we should all remember what Coppell said a...

For those who mentioned Grant Brebner. I live in Melbourne and Grant plays for Melbourne Victory where he is something of a hero. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on that however as Ozzie soccer is, frankly, of an atrocious standard. Grant has basically had a serious gambling addiction for most o...

I remember that match well. If think I am correct in saying it was the ffirst match of the millennium on 1st January 2000. I am pretty certain the it was the first match because I think it was at 1.00 or 1.30 p.m. In those days Gillingham were doing very well and we were really happy to come away wi...

--- A side note. Probably a stupid question as I remember something about this but did our sports scientist go? Why? I can't help but think that was a bad move, as a lot our success was thanks to great psycho-sciency arty farty stuff wasn't it? Why change? I think Jon Goodman went to set up (or enh...

I can't stand Nicky Shorey to be honest, the sooner he goes the better. I shan't miss his stupid schoolboy looks, shit hair and fat girlfriend when he does Better not tell his wife that he also has a girlfriend.. If I was married to that, I'd cheat on her as well Don't forget that she is the one wh...

Duff buys? Right, the worldly-wise Scarface has spoken, we must offload them as soon as possible. :roll: Well seeing as neither of them have contributed anything positive this season in my opinion they are duff buys at present. And how many games have they played? I don't think they have had much o...

Ive Forgotten was it Long that Scored 2 Goals agaisnt Derby To Secure the Championship? :roll: Yes, in the Championship, yes it was. I don't know if you follow thw Republic of Ireland when our players are playing for them, but if you do you must have heard that Shane Long has scored in internationa...

From BBC's quotes of the week: "Games are usually Saturday, luckily this is on a Friday so the missus has been understanding. If we'd been playing on the actual day I might have had to postpone it, but don't tell the missus that!" Reading defender Steve Shorey , who made his England debut...

From DAILY TELEGRAPH: 2/6/7 Nicky Shorey Rating - 7 "An England debut the night before his wedding, but if he was nervous he did not show it. Confident in possession, but had to check the attacking qualities he shows at club level." Pretty much spot on. One of the only papers to acknowled...

Ok, to get the ball rolling in voting our greatest RFC XI, nominate the goalkeepers who have played for Reading FC over the years. I am guessing that we'll all want to see Neil "Shaka" Hislop, Steve Death and Marcus Hahnemann in the vote. That probably leaves 5 other places to fill. So, d...
