Scrappy - if STAR with its 1000 plus members and democratic processes can't realistically be seen as the true voice of supporters - who can? A bloke Jonny Fordham talks to in the street? 25 people who happen to be on-line on HNA at that particular moment? Someone random phoning into Radio Berks? If ...

Reading won an award for "engaging female supporters" - the opposition they were up against must of been crap as I have absolutely no idea as to what they have done to "engage me"! YEEE! And maybe next year, after families and females, it'll be the turn of middle-aged male f*cke...

[quote Were we? The 3=0 defeat? Are you sure Dirk?[/quote] I thought so. I was there so didn't see the coverage myself, but was pretty sure that was BBC rather than Sky. I'll check.....[/quote] Are you sure it wasn't Doncaster away last season that was live on the Beeb......[/quote] Given what Floyd...

There was also a pitch invasion after Port Vale 0-3 in 1998 - cracking picture in Rusting Tin. SJM promptly left the country for 18 months!

And was there some lone anti-Hurley raider came on (v Lincoln 1975???) that got us a reprimand from the FA?

In 1968 we played in all white in both games. Can't recall Reading using this kit before or since really. The FA Cup tie rules are that both teams chnage in a colour clash and that rule is raely observed these days - but sometiomes in the final. In the 60s we used to play in red shirts / white short...

The FSF has analysed every club charter in the top two divisions, rating them 0-5 across a range of categories encompassing accessibility, timeliness, quality, clarity of complaints procedure, appeals process, and contacts for the relevant league and Independent Football Ombudsman. Reading came 7th...

but you have no evidence that that is the case have you? Tom Bower has never been sued for his chapter on Redknapp in Broken Dreeams (?). What Redknapp says and what he does seem to be at near complete variance. Anyway he's part of the reason for Portsmouth being No1 hated club (along with the viol...

Hoop Blah They also got done for a betting scandal too, but I can't remember what the punishment was.

A Swindon player was att he centre of the early 60s match fiximg scandal - jail for him I guess but no impact on the club.

I prefer to work on precedents - in this case the number of points gained by the 6th placed club in the past 15 seasons (the length of the current format of the division). The average is 73.4. 9 of the 15 teams placed 6th have had 74 or more points. So, to have a good shout this season we'll need 20...

I reckon we'll get 13-15pts from our remainign games. No play-offs wow, that's pessimistic A Barnsley WIN-DRAW H Portsmouth WIN H Preston WIN A Nottm Forest Could be anything but Forest currently imploding A Scunthorpe WIN-DRAW H Leicester WIN A Leeds Could be anything, but we could win-draw there ...

any news / views on Mills injury?

sandman Wear a stab proof vest.

and stab proof underpants too.

Last night the ITV commentator at City thought Everton would be their next opponents! Then all these references to it being our only third appearance in the QF's - dissing our heritage by 25%. :evil: 2011 - City (a) 2010 - Villa (h) 2-4 1927 - Swansea (a) 3-1 1901 - Spurs (h) 1-1, 0-3 Dissing our H...

Tilehurst End Barry Wagstaff v Barrow I think.

Week before the Arsenal 1-2 (scored all 3 goals) cup game.

Les Chappell, wet day, Tilehurst End, programme cup vouchers, Harry Thomson blinder in the Barrow goal.

B Wag scored v Arse.

Barry the bird boggler 1979, the home game v Grimsby, think it was John Alexander ?

Scored all 4 and is apparently Club Sec at Man U now (?? - having done similar at Spurs).

Douggie Webb.

Shame grandson Josh never made it or I could boast seeing 3 generations of Webbs scoring for Reading.

Better Still Get off your backside and get up there! Funny there are no threads about struggling to get tickets for this game :roll: Too right. Mad that we took twice as many to a virtual non-League club in the previous round. Still - feel sorry for folk in Reading battling to get preference on the...

Surely im not the only ST holder whos wondering if they can really be bothered to go tomorrow night? I have that debate with myself every week, mostly due to my utter bone-idleness though Millwall is usually one of the better games to look forward to - certainly in terms of liveliness / tastiness -...
