Not yet and I certainly hope not but things are not good 1) we have a stronger overall squad, but a weaker first eleven. If across the board we have two players for each posiiton there should be enough competiton to consistently get 7/10s . If overall the squad is average for the division we should ...

This is irony right ?

Now those “legal technicalities” make a lot more sense Completion meant: Redwood Stadium had to purchase the SCL from Prestige Fortune Asia, a deal requiring specialist counsel in its own right (BVI domiciled company) Redwood Investments had to purchase c. £200m worth of debt from Renhe Sports Mana...

Recent draws - Shrewsbury H Exeter H Crawley A - 3 points should have been 9 - would put us in 5th
Absolute waste of a superb opportunity
Not convinced its the players so much as the management

Good win, a bit uneventful at times and got lucky with the 1v1 Bolton had, but at the same time, they got very lucky that it deflected that way. Somehow still level with 6th. So disappoimting that unnecessary last minute goal vs Burton has cost us a PO spot - should we have just shut up shop then o...

Was driving back from West Reading today - my route took me past Elm Park. Plenty of memories come flooding back, started thinking would I like us to be back there? Ain't gonna happen of course but thought I test out others views. So you get two magic wishes 1) first wish - we return to Elm Park imm...

Second live game this season for me and the Brum match on TV Can over anaylse but just a bad day for most players all round, Once Orient went ahead fair play to them for busting a gut to hold onto the lead, I thought if we equalised we would go on to win, but crowd didnt do its bit bit to raise the ...

If the sign-off, from the odious leech that is Die Young, has not been done. Do we assume that he or his toady lackey Pang has agreed to the sale of Azeez? Makes you wonder - Dai always gambling or trying to get one over on people. If Couhig hasn't sanctioned this and its just Dai/Pang trying to sq...

That is an excellent piece by Selles; really interesting, insightful and humble. As one who thought he should be let go, I am happy to state I was 100% wrong, and that he is a massive asset for the club, the team and the fans. My 2nd biggest fear of the Summer is that another team recognise his val...

Pleasantly surprised we had an option on Azeez (LOL @ Brogue claiming he was off). Surprised by Carson and Mola going and both Rushesha and Abrefa getting offers. Whilst I think we all wanted Carson to step up, I'm not convinced he has the mental strength so not upset. Mola does seem harsh, and lea...

Fantastic news to share - Burton have banned inflatables on Saturday 8) The irony................Reading fans break the home ground rules with celebratory plastic inflateables, some / few suppoters get jostled/ejected by stewards, tension rises., some inflateables land on pitch, game stopped, poten...

And we scored all three goals!! Lucky,lucky Arsenull. Yes I was there in the Town end - great day Think Stuart Morgan headed a superb own goal from a corner for the winner? Was the equaliser Barrie Wagstaff at the Town end ? The other own goal was John Harley Dick Habbin cant remember that - was it...

Looked on Transfer Mkt yesterday - we have 5th highest home average 5th highest capacity and 17th in terms of percentage full.

Half the grounds in League 1 cannot accommodate our current home average

We are a big club in L1

Aldershot home or away will do. Glad there are still some on here that remember the rivalry between us and as someone from Yateley who got the train from Sandhurst back in the day, there's some great memories of our meetings. Blimey - I used to do the long walk from Yateley to Sandhust 1971 - 77 pr...

I was there, having seen my first ever game towards the end of the season before against Luton 0-1. I seem to remember the Watney Cup was a pre season competition for teams who scored the most goals in their respective divisions the season before. Of course Reading went on to be relegated in the upc...

575 points Gold legacy status, support since 1970 STH last season. undecided to get one this season as hacked off with Dai and already will miss 4 home games but have 24 hours or so to mull over. Think the pricing allows you to miss 8 games to "breakeven" - thats about the number I missed ...

We have the 5th biggest ground - behind Derby Bolton Wigan Charlton. What gets me is how small a lot of the grounds are

I think it's worth remembering that in that time our midfield has also been consistently shit offering little protection. Plus Holmes spent much of 20/21 at RB, not CB, and McIntyre has bounced around in and out of the team at CB, LB, LWB and DM. They struggle when they're run at on the break, or b...

Circle of life and all that. Supporter since 1970 - at the Wigan game I wondered if that would be my last ever Championship match as a Royal. We have had a fairly uneventful history since 1920 - and endless time in Div 3 bar a 4 year spell in th 20s in Div 2 then relegation to Div 4 1971 (I think it...
