Re: Is it time to bring back Ashes by Embrace?

Having accounted for a fair amount of fuzz in the stats, and excluded a lot of irrelevant factors, I have been forced to conclude that the club started falling off the cliff when we stopped playing "Ashes" by Embrace at home games. . You're wrong, our demise started when they started play...

Re: Is it time to bring back Ashes by Embrace?

Anything to replace that awful "Only one number one" song they insist on playing at half time Hi Schards, long time no see! I was in your neck of the woods recently to take my feral children to the Great Western Railway museum. A lovely place to spend a morning actually. Back on topic, I ...

Re: Is it time to bring back Ashes by Embrace?

While I love The Amazons I feel we've never recovered from the time we dropped Lux Aterna by Clint Poppie from the pre-match festivities I actually didn't include this in my considerations. I remember the days of breathless press releases about new pre-match videos. It actually made it worth coming...

Re: Is it time to bring back Ashes by Embrace?

Good song, bring it back. But also please bring some good players into the club as well, that would also be nice. When the club was last promoted Karl Sheppard and Cedric Baseya were in the squad. Players appear therefore to be have a remarkably small impact on the team’s success. So Sidwell, Kitso...

Re: Is it time to bring back Ashes by Embrace?

Like all of you I have spent my last few months doing little else other than analysing every single aspect of the club to work out what went wrong. When Billy Beane used mathematicians instead of scouts to analyse what was going wrong for the Oakland A's baseball team, everyone thought he was menta...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

There is no reason that Reading couldn’t be successful if the owners remain and you have to say that this season behind the scenes the club has turned a corner and things are starting to look up. The club now need to make a proper managerial change within the next couple of weeks and look forward t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Luton Town (h)

club 1871 less said about them the better, just needs to end and a tad embarrassing and fake for my liking Christ even the name is embarrassing. They’re the reason that no one of breeding or class, or really with any decency at all, goes to football beyond the age of 14 or 15. Just fyi, you're on t...

Re: Car Park Options

Depending on how old his son is, the Holiday Inn Car Park on the Basingstoke Road might be a reasonable option. A tenner to park like most of them, a bit of a walk each way but they're still likely to be on their way and ahead of a lot of the traffic quicker than using the stadium car parks. Same y...

Re: Car Park Options

RG30 The Red Car Park won't take that long. Realty is it's a midweek game where I would say nearly half the STH's don't attend, especially with this being on red button. You'll be waiting no longer than 20 minutes tops.


I’ll let him know. Many thanks.

Re: Car Park Options

Hello all A chum of mine wants to take his son to a game, and is considering Wednesday evening. He asked me about parking options, and my experience is about a decade out of date. How are the queues out of Red Car Park these days? Does it still take an hour to get out? Is the Car Park 6 down the hi...
