I'm fairly sure I'm right in saying that we are the only professional football club in Berkshire. All the others will either be part-time or amateur. The only other pro team in the B&B FA would be Wycombe Wanderers. Are you wilfully missing the Franchisees out? I stand corrected! Rather begrudg...

The Madejski Stadium is once again set to host some local football cup finals. Fair play to RFC for showing support in grass-roots football and giving local players a fantastic opportunity in playing on the hallowed turf. Details as follows: Reading Challenge Senior Cup Wednesday 12th May (19:00) We...

I'd agree it would be good for us to enter, in fact it should be a matter of pride ! Although not sure it is right to say we are the only professional side in the county. The only football league side perhaps, or the only full timers, but there are loads of teams in Berkshire who pay their players ...

And I, for one, would look forward to visiting a few more non-league footballing outposts along the way.

Congratulations to Barrow who today won the FA Trophy at Wembly. 21,223 fans saw Barrow beat hot favourites Stevenage after extra-time and only 19 men finished the game. Stevenage however will find consolation in the fact that they will play league football next season after securing promotion last ...

If I remember correctly we ceased to enter our County FA's primary competition due to players picking up injuries against overzealous part-timers. However as the counties only professional club, I feel its our duty to give something back to grass-roots football in the area and give other teams the o...

It's got to be a baldy wig and glasses day in honour of Brian McDermott! Would it be too late to organise this?

Your started for ten - why in League Two are the top three teams awarded automatic promotion while the Championship and League One offer it solely to the Winners and Runners-up?

So you mean you just gave it to them..... Right. What does it matter? The fact is that a fellow Royal was once again treated like a football hooligan and our overzealous stewards have used their bully-boy tactics - forgetting said supporter is a paying customer, and has been for many years. I was n...

Jerry St Clair Promoted with an entirely English squad (bar a Scottish goalkeeper).

Makes their achievement even better! Well done Dale - will be keeping an eye on their progress next season.

exactly its just over the top, I've been a season ticket holder since elm park days and no what an atmosphere should be like. The stewards are doing everything possible to stop this! The bloke who sits behind me is my mate so no worries of him complaining, dont no what the problem is, its obvious t...

Agreed! The stewards today were once again disgraceful. I stood for the majority of the 90 minutes near the back of Y25 and was constantly harrassed by the overzealous stewards who go about their job in the most arrogant fashion imaginable. An end of season non-event against Peterborough hardly call...

biscuitman Ok lads, I've got a pink handbag...who wants it?

I'd like to campaign for it, but I suppose it would be a waste of time - so I won't bother!

Join in by joining a facegroup group and posting on an internet forum you mean? I realise it's easy to knock but I just don't see the point. If I felt that strongly stop watching football at a PL and Championship level and instead go and watch local non-league sides where standing is still permitte...

How many have signed up to that campaign, how long has it been running for, and what has it acheived? Don't get me wrong, I like joining facebook groups and signing online petitions as much as the next man, but I'm just not sure it acheives anything. I'm not sure what you mean by asking how many ha...

Never changed any of my decisions, the old saying about "even things out" may of cropped up once in a while though" Was not criticising the orginator poster, but i would say that it is very rare and unusual for a referee to ask for fouls anywhere on the pitch particularly in and arou...

I don't recall ever seeing this in a professional game but all credit to the ref for being big enough to change his mind. One thought though why was there a melee? Hopefully you don't get your boys to do a Chelsea or Man United and surround the referee querying his decisions. We work long and hard ...

As club linesman you should only be giving ball in and out of play and advising on offside. Poor decision by the ref. Prior to the game the Ref had asked me signal for any fouls that were commited in my corner and on his blindside, so you're incorrect. The Referee approached me and asked for my opi...

They are if you go about it the right way, and I think this one is. The campaign for Safe Standing being relaunched this year. Can I just point people to the homepage of this campaign. StandUpSitDown is fully backed by the Football Supporter's Federation and are looking to relaunch the campaign fol...

Yesterday evening the local youth team that I coach had a top of the table clash against local rivals. I, as per norm, took on the unenvious task of Referee's Assistant. With our lads 2-1 up the referee awarded a penalty after a calamatous mix-up between our goalkeeper and centreback found the oppon...
