Based on that...the organisation and costs involved....cheaper and easier to have nobody there. Well it would be cheaper and easier not to play football at all. Is that your proposal ? It wouldn’t be difficult to do, every other business is adapting the way they operate. Supermarkets found ways to ...

It would make all sorts of sense all round for him to come back here. He's almost 25 ffs, he needs to settle down and sort himself out. Suppose it depends on finances. And if Swift is likely to hang around - though heard nothing about that not being the case A midfield with Pele at the base and Eja...

What about next season.Not worth buying a season ticket;as the option of actually attending games will be unlikely this side of Xmas.So for next season;everybody pays the £10 a game to watch on I Follow; until attendance is back up and running.When the ground is open again;hopefully in January;I wou...

Pre Covid, Celtic would struggle to compete with us financially?

You wonder if it’s a gypsy curse or something.One meaningless Symod Cup win(though I did enjoy the day);followed by four play off horlicks and an FA Cup semi final defeat.Perhaps we should swing a dead cat and bury it at the Mad Stad,and at Elm Park Housing estate for good measure. You can imagine t...

Being a cynic I believe a teams attitude to a restart,depends on their league position.Those at the top don’t want a null and void season;while those at the bottom do.We still have a “live” season at least for a couple of games.Reading being Reading,I suspect will start slowly,then hit a groove.With...

Don’t know about season ticket holders.I did think we could maybe we would get priority on a direct televised link to the game.But you can imagine the uproar.Plus we would suddenly become very popular with other fans breaking the regs and wanting to come round to watch.The red button would disadvan...

It did occur to me they could have started County Cricket.Only one man and his poor dog goes.

Deffo my worst Reading defeat.Wonder what would have happened if the penalty had gone in ?Would Bolton have thrown in the towel.When the 4th went in;I upped and left,only to sit in the car park as the cars were parked nose to tail.I therefore missed Quinny’s goal.Driving out of the ground,I went the...

Remember that game against Liverpool,with McCarthy in goal.I thought Suarez was going to blow a gasket.

Robin Friday must have won us a few games on his own.

Was impressed with Mata for Chelsea at the Madstad.Evening game;but we actually came back for an unlikely draw.So that doesn’t strictly count.Some of those Arsenal defeats were very one sided.However I always thought they were mainly down to a team effort. Only one sort of sticks out for me and tha...

Simmops Shaun Cummings was kind of one for me. He was actually good when he played and got a lot of praise.

No I saw him at West Brom away.

Probably Yiadom.But does he get the plaudits anyway ? So long ago I can’t remember.
Probably Inga from the promotion side.

I doubt many of us are earning many multiples of carer's salary Forbes,so tbh that whole post is hooey Average salary in the Reading area is around £40k.... sure some big earners (including footballers) push that upwards, but also plenty of careers/nurses/cleaners etc pushing it downwards. Dave Kit...

Haha quite a few names from the 97-00 era...my life we signed some shockers! Paul Bodin was dire Neil Smith anyone? Michael O’Neill had a poor loan spell Mark Reilly was dire Anyone remember Elroy Kromhear? Can’t even remember if he was any good nothing significantly wrong with Neil Smith Not that ...

iirc McIntyre was diabolical played upfront, but when he moved back a bit actually did quite well. He is probably the third name on my personal worst ever XI, partly for not being the type of striker who scores goals and partly for his performance against Walsall in Cardiff, when he clearly couldn'...

McIntyre was unlucky to not get a new contract. He did ok. We iirc McIntyre was diabolical played upfront, but when he moved back a bit actually did quite well.
