Re: Best wishes from a Burnley fan

One of our best chants is "we support our local team". I'm sure you get a bit of it with bigger clubs down the road as well. I know someone who bounced between supporting United, Blackburn, then United again in the 90s. He probably supported Liverpool before I met him. I've lost touch wit...

Re: Time for fans to stand up and be counted

That's not particularly true: League 1 average attendances this season: http://www.espnfc.com/stats/attendance/_/league/eng.3/english-league-one?cc=5739 Only 4 teams with an average attendance above 10K, therefore even Elm Park ~ 2/3 full would put us as heavyweights in the league in regard to supp...

Re: Time for fans to stand up and be counted

I largely agree with the sentiment of under the tin , the problem was we really had no choice if we wanted to compete in the football leagues as the reality of football dictates you need the larger stadium and bigger fan base to survive. Had we not we would now be playing at Elm Park (lovely jubly) ...

Re: Time for fans to stand up and be counted

You have to be a fan for life! I've always supported Liverpool my whole life but take a passing interest in Reading. (What do you mean 3-3? They were bloody 3-0 up). I meant to say I've always support Man City my whole life. Seriously though, in 25 years supporting Reading, 2 of my most miserable se...

Re: Donny (A) Match Thread sponsored by the Heimlich manoeuv

rofl I don't want the premier league, I don't even want the playoffs. But if getting there means denying Brighton, along with that bewildering little superiority complex they have going on, I'll take it. In fact, not giving a shit, while they're so desperate for the 'big time', would probably make ...

Re: If you didn't support Reading who would you support and

Liverpool. I was seven, and staying with family in Everton. Everton were playing away so my Dad (unwillingly) walked us to Anfield to see the red enemy play against Spurs. Liverpool ran out 7 - 0 winners and I never thought I could ever support another team (can anyone better that as their best ever...

Re: Red Card-Yes or No?

I am amazed that has been rescinded. It's a big two fingers up to the referee from the FA for a decision like that. I disagree. I think the discussion and disagreement here shows that the ref had a few seconds to make a decision that was very difficult. With the benefit of replays us fans are split...

Libertine Booyah! Gorkss!!! GTFI 5-0 :mrgreen:


Damn! Wait for the "we don't need to strengthen" lines from the club now!

Great performance though and the for the second game in a row (and only the second this season) we play well in two halves.

Re: RUMOUR - Billy Sharp

I don't get all this talk of maximum 3 month contract. How did we sign Baird on a 4 month contract until January? Sharp will be on loan. For a maximum of 93 days, which, coincidentally, from tomorrow will take us until the Christmas and New Year fixtures. Baird was a free agent. Doh! I though he wa...

Re: RUMOUR - Billy Sharp

If we do get him, will he be available for the Christmas and New Year fixtures? Can someone confirm? As I understand it, we sign him on Friday he is then available to play for us on loan until just after Christmas. We can then sign him permanently for c£1.2M and he is ours from just before the New ...

Re: Leeds (H) predictions

Brian's sides are boring, predictable, one dimensional but know what it takes to win a game.

We are boring, predictable, one dimensional.

0-1 Leeds.
