Re: BFIT - Wycombe (H)

Another cord we hold (I think) is that of worst record in the FA cup. We have lost more FA cup games than any other team apparantly...

Re: We will iFollow the Reading on laptop and TV

Bit nonplussed by this. Assumed STAR were offering some sort of crazy deal to provide laptops / access to supporters who couldn't get the service. Instead it's just a PSA pimping it. Er, yeah. We know about it. It's discussed on here at length repeatedly. What a lame attempt at outreach. :| Yet at ...

We will iFollow the Reading on laptop and TV

STAR is pushing this entirely off our own bat because we hear supporters are missing out when we're top of the table. Here's what it says on our website: This is Reading’s best start to the season since 1985 – but just like back then it’s not as easy to follow the team as we’d like. In 1985 stadium...

Re: BFT Watford

Was it under Star that the thought was the players were being stifled, made to play like robots? I can't remember. HEY! Don't lay that one at our door, please. On another subject mentioned in this thread, research from Germany does indeed suggest that clubs with less vociferous crowds / less full s...

Re: Sustain the Game!

The campaign looks for urgent action from the authorities to protect the very existence of clubs in this dangerous time. Which authorities, and what action is required? Looks very broad in scope and very general at the moment. A bit "Down with this sort of thing", dare I say it. Fine if i...

Re: STAR Membership rolls over for free

As 2019-20 disappears over the horizon and 2020-21 edges into view, albeit through a fog of uncertainty, we thought it was timely to give the post above a bump. And to say that there is a cut-off date for this offer of 1st September 2020. So if you're a 2019-20 STAR member and you haven't yet rejoin...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

The club was officially formed Christmas Day 1871. So technically the season after next is 150 years. There is no evidence for this either. If it's 'official' it's just the club making it up. We can be pretty sure it was formed sometime between Nov 1871 and Feb 1872 and the FA Annual of 1873 gives ...

At STAR we’re well aware of all the uncertainties surrounding the next football season – whenever that starts. So we’ve decided to make one thing clear. We are extending – free of charge – membership of STAR to all our 1700+ 2019-20 members for a further year, until 30 June 2021. This is because we ...
