Up top, losing Smith was a massive blow. Ehibhatiomhan has started pretty well I’d say, some encouraging performances. Knibbs has been solid. Azeez poor so far. Vickers good but very inexperienced Feels to me there is less there to ‘fix’ than the defence. Confident Carroll and Ehib will score given...
Decent prematch in the Queens Head, the Titanic Steerage was lovely. I'm quite bemused by the other pubs being home fans only and largely empty, whereas that Queens Head was packed and they were racking it in. The game was entirely forgettable, we looked the better team and Vale looked poor, but we...
Barcelona playing at the 49k capacity Olympic Stadium this season https://estadiolimpic.barcelona/sites/default/files/2023-07/Estadi_0.jpg Saw Espanyol v Las Palmas there. Not a great stadium for football TBH. Vinny Samways was playing for Las Palmas and had Madonna's soundcheck in the background a...

Did Selles say anything last night on Smith's injury and also AC? Is he really on holiday? Didn't mention Smith. Just said that AC had resumed training later due to injury and he's a good pro. None of the questions were that revealing, though we did discover which motorway is Noel Hunt's favourite....
Anyone able to transcribe Selles' Q&A session? Ruben Neves* as per DJ Megaparty Absolute clown that fella. Confirmed Wing and Savage would be in the squad for tomorrow, plus a new player. Sellés came across well, nice sense of humour. Endearingly kept referring to Reading as a city. Sparks seem...
F1 bus return is now £5.50. Off-peak day return from Reading Main to Reading Green Park is £3.10. 14:37 gets you to Green Park for 14:44. It's 14 minutes walk to the Megastore from the station. Or you can play it safe and get the 14:07. There's a train at 17:14, which depending on stoppage time, mi...
Wonder how many people will be over 1,500? And if their selling criteria will typically split as Day 1 – 1,500+ points, Day 2 – 1,350+ points as per the website's Exeter example?
With the station at Green Park now being open, the number of people using the buses (especially to the town centre) would probably fall anyway. F1 bus return is now £5.50. Off-peak day return from Reading Main to Reading Green Park is £3.10. 14:37 gets you to Green Park for 14:44. It's 14 minutes w...
Maidenhead United new stadium officially OFF. Devastating news, it really could have made a huge difference to the club and community. Local council strikes again! South East being packed full of NIMBYs presumably, wonder if any councillors will get booted out at the next local election because of ...
Four in the Conference for me – Aldershot, Oldham, Southend and York. Only one of my 59/92 didn't involve Reading – Notts County. And strangely my visit to Bootham Crescent, was to watch York v Aldershot. Must admit hadn't clocked that Bootham Crescent has now been demolished and York have played at...
That's a massive increase, makes you realise how much the club must have been forking out (or Reading Buses are taking the piss) Don't know why the government funded £2 to anywhere single doesn't apply for the football buses? Government website actually states as part of it's waffle on the bus fare...
Agreed. Mbengue and Holmes for now. Wouldn't be surprised if Abbey is now vying for McIntyre for the reserve CB spot. Could well be Abbey's breakthrough season.
Massive NO to Chris Martin coming back. Easily makes my Top 5 Worst Loan Signings list. Just a really unlikeable player, who looked off the pace 5 years ago.
