Why is it not to protect the customer? If I were to buy a shirt and get a number on it, I'd not want the last shirt to have been used on that machine to be a skanky one. I think the numbering machine has to go inside the shirt, so it is relevant to health and safety. It's not really any that differe...

I would be very interested in that information.

How's that? Birmingham got £1.4m for getting relegated?

More TV appearances, probably.

ScottishRoyal As far as him staying in England this season goes, as he was only on loan I think we would have been well within our rights to let him go once he was injured and avoid paying his wages.

But that's not the "Reading way".

Yep - his only downside is that he sometimes loses concentration very easily, but that can be worked on and will improve with age.

SC also said at the forum that it was only fair and decent to give Peter Mate a chance to prove himself (or otherwise) here when he's fully fit.

Also that during his injury layoff he's had a chance to learn English which will help.

So expect at least another season here out of him.

I didn't realise this, but following the Downes slapping Colin incident, it turns that another member of the RFC staff is up in front of the FA on Thursday for charging down from the West stand to join the melée. Eamon Dolan was suggested by one of the guest, but Dills would neither confirm or den...

It's not that far-fetched really, in these days of TV-adoration of the big clubs.

The question no-one is asking is just how many of that 100k would be there to watch Reading.....

PieEater. Don't you think your obsessed rants are getting a bit boring now? If you're so anti-STAR and everything they do, why don't you stand for election and do something to make them the way you think they should be, instead of constant criticism from the sidelines because they don't agree with y...

A lot of peopel feel the same way.

It's a sad fact that it's a lot harder, and a lot less fun, to be a fan in the Premier League than in any other league.

Why can't they locate this hospitality area at the very back of the current east stand and then build a new tier of seating above the hospitality level. They could model it on Arsenal's club class level.......... The middle tier of the emirates. Its an Fffing disgrace to tear out the middle of the ...

Not so sure her. I know of some who aren't renewing, and I'm sure there'll be more - for lots of reasons. - They've had the novelty of seeing the premiership teams now. - It's still a lot of money and some peoples' circumstances may have changed. - Some younger people who have gone up an age group m...

Coppell did say that they had thought about playing Leroy, and Leroy was up for it, but that his suspension applies to all club games. Can't be right can it that the game tonight counts as part of his 3 match ban. That's right, but they didn't think so at the start, as his suspension wasn't directl...

Exactly, and Reading Town is still within most peoples price range if they don't like the premium product served up at Madjeski! Agreed! Sadly that's what professional football is all about in the 21st century. Unfortunately yes, but you can't have a pop at Seb for moaning about the extortionate pr...

Why is it "a disgrace"? Outrageous ticket prices are "a disgrace". Excessive bus fares or car park fees would be "a disgrace", because you need to pay to watch the match. But this is a burger! If it's too expensive, don't buy it! To take your argument against Seb moani...

So good, it got posted twice. Am I the only one who thinks this is all a waste of time and energy given the ever-so-advanced state of the plans. And, no one is going to lose a seat because of this, some people might get moved. It just strikes me as whinging for the sake of it. Indeed! The team is 8...
