Which then goes back to the second point, it should be a case of we have an initial allocation which can then be extended further if needs be. We can have up to 15% of the ground in the FA Cup that United have already signed up to, so they will already have the section(s) of the ground mapped out f...

These things are never simple, despite people wishing / assuming they are ! What has probably happened is we were offered one allocation (the one we went with) on a second, much bigger one (probably the 15% full away allocation). We would have had to pay for the full 15k whether we sold them or not....

https://mobile.twitter.com/ReadingFC/status/1613891114393640965 We're delighted to say that #AmadouStays! Amadou Mbengue has penned a new deal with the Royals This morning, Mbengue completed the paperwork on a contract that keeps him in RG2 until the end of the season - with a view to then extendin...

He would say that, he was one of the ones who taught Long to dive and said he was the best he'd seen at 'winning' a penalty. I'll go with the professional ref. You'd go with opinion of a notoriously error prone type of professional who doesn't know the player and had a split second to make a decisi...

Just another foreign corruption to the game, but how come you never complained about Rakkles throwing himself to the floor? Not sure where the idea it’s foreign comes from, Francis Lee was doing it back in the 70’s and Trevor Senior wasn’t scared of hitting the deck…. Bullsh£,t those were the days ...

It's tough though, you're taught as a player in that situation, you don't win the penalty if you don't go down. Whether he is looking for it, whether he has exaggerated it, I don't know, but there is contact there so he has every right to stay down. If he stayed on his feet, I'm sure we'd all be sa...

The agreement between us and the EFL is a pretty poor document with stuff that is unclear or undefined. Most stuff depends on the date of the agreement and the definition of ‘permitted players’ has two elements - not started 3 or more games at this or equivalent level - was not registered at the tim...

Tv money is about 150k and we got about 80k for third round win. So definitely somewhere north of a million in unbudgeted income. I’m pretty sure we were on target to hit our budget for the season in terms of avoiding the 6 point suspended punishment and the money from this game should make that cer...

From Despair To Where? 45%, I believe.

76,000 at £46 a ticket, give or take a few concessions makes about £1.5m.

45% of profit, not takings. So United get to claim £1 million in costs for staging the game…..

Believe the following is the actual current 25 man squad that the FL say Reading have and shows the club currently have no free spaces which fits in with what the club say. If the club want to bring anyone in this month then first at least 1 from the list below has to depart either permanently or o...

Possibly the ideal time for me, it's only just over an hour away so it's a comfortable drive there and back, will probably get back for midnight-ish which is reasonable. Glad it's worked out quite well. Surely the club will put some coach travel on for supporters? I know it's not ideal for those tr...

Hi readers I’m tempted to go to this, but I haven’t been a season ticket holder since stam’s 1st season so my loyalty points are probably not up to scratch. What are the usual loyalty points brackets? I’ve got 3280 I plan to take my daughter too who isn’t a member yet so has zero points. Can you us...

Can't believe how much abuse the OP is getting. The OP is correct, football matches should not be rescheduled to disenfranchise the match going fan who wants to use public transport. Bonkers that people think otherwise. I think we all felt this 30 years ago and have learnt to begrudgingly accept it...

hold on the bloke's called Sharon?

No reference to a Sharon there….

It was a phonetic joke dear boy

Indeed. I chuckled (quietly).

Green LOL, the select car leasing stadium would make a terrible warm hub.

Miles away and not actually warm.

What about Hogwood?

Hogwood is now a housing estate is isn’t it ?
Before that it was just a few portacabins and grass.
