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 -...

Nice old photo. I nthink that's me down the front between the the C and E !!

Where did you find it?

BTW I think it's the pre-roofed South Bank.

super darren caskey I really think we can and will win this game

Norwich 1 Reading 3

I really think we'll get dumped on 2-0, 3-0.

But I hope you're right.

Through to the last 16 TWO YEARS RUNNING. I looked up the last time that happened - about a century ago. Here's our complete record in the last 16 of the FA Cup. 2010 WBA (h) 2-2, 3-2 2007 Man U (a) 1-1, 2-3 1998 Sheff U (a) 0-1 1935 Arsenal (h) 0-1 1929 Villa (h) 1-3 1927 Brentford (h) 1-0 1913 Bla...

5th time in a row we've beaten WBA in the Cups! Can't think of another club we've beaten more often in a row in the Cups. STRAP? We've lost 5 in a row to the Arse and (prob) Man U. we took man utd to a replay a couple of years ago so not them No, it's whether we won or lost the tie. Vs Man U we los...

I won the Golden Goal once - when £50 meant a lot of to a teenager as I was then. Younger viewers - you bought a sealed ticket with an exact time on it e.g 52 mins 13 secs and won if the first goal time matched your ticket. Much more fun the Golden Gamble which I don't do. There was a 0-0 ticket too...

Worth a peek. Just by looking at the preview, there are some photos of Friday that I have never seen before. What do you reckon? I bought it. If you like Rogers other stuff you'd like this. Definitely not a re-hash - it does what it says on the free preview - takes a good hard look at how the legen...

I always ignore their futile arm waving and park just where I want. Likewise. a) if you arrive late they don't guarantee you can get in the car park anyway - which was originally a main benefit. b) now if you arrive early they want to penalise you by making get out later too! What's a rational man ...

Ian Herring Paul Lemon. I expected a lot from this loan signing, as I did Nicky Platnauer.

Total letdowns.

At least the first lived up to his name too.

Hughie Cheetham.

At least he lived up to his name.

I have also sourced the highlights of the Reading/Arsenal cup game from 5th Feb 1972 but I need about 20 people to commit to sharing the cost as the archive source want £240 for it. Is that to buy the rights to the original footage or just for a copy? I'd be willing to donate a tenner, however it m...

Cheers Floyd - but don't worry, I don't keep a separate spreadsheet for these things. It was merely the easiest way to present the data from an MSAccess database. I...

I love the application of 'Ossie' and 'Wessie' to Redingensians. Anyone who defends West Reading has never had to take a 38 (or whatever the current incarnation of that route may be) all the way to Purley. The Butts Centre is Checkpoint Charlie and the office of the Intervention Board is the Fernse...

No, first game was on King's Meadow. No, in my day you'd just as easily hit a brighter-than-average urchin who had been forced into a lounge suit at the age of 11. Not sure what you're on about there Fox. I'm agreeing that the first game was at King's Meadow. I was trying to post a satirical reply ...

Indeed. The first game was played at King's Meadow making Reading a Caversham club. The West Reading mob are plastic johnny come latelys. 1st game was at Reading school. Swing and a miss you safari suited twat. No, first game was on King's Meadow. No, in my day you'd just as easily hit a brighter-t...

im sure they did a recent survey on where you lived... someone could dig it up im sure. Not sure how far 5 miles around the Madstad stretches but if that covers most of Reading then the proportion of support from town locals has further declined to less than 30% as our support overall has increased...

Reading FC is actually a genuine town centre club! Kings Meadow, the first ground is south of the river, not Caversham, and the club HQ was the Queens Hotel Friar Street (where Yates Wine Bar now stands). The second ground was next to the first. Then Coley (south-west Reading?). Then Caversham (Nort...

Elm Park was a good metaphor for West Reading actually; shabby, ugly looking and unloved by the population at large. Madejski Stadium sums up all that one would associate with our fans from other areas of town: plastic, a bit souless and generally shit. VaLOLid. Seriously though, whenever I have to...
