Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

That's over £14 million a year. Given the salaries listed above, our wage bill, unless I'm mistaken, is not even £4 million a year. That would mean that even if we sold the entire playing squad, and used Sunday league players instead, we'd still be losing £10 million a year. Every time we have ever...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

I'd be surprised if our total staff wage bill is less than £8m, tbh. Even at £8 million a year, we'd still be losing £6 million a year if we replaced them with players who played for nothing. Either that £1.2 million loss per month figure is completely wrong, or there are some horrendous outgoings ...

Re: Racism Shame

NathStPaul Yeah keep responding to him lads, really helps.

To be fair, he does seem genuinely concerned about the amount of racist abuse.

He probably feels there's not enough of it.

Re: Racism Shame

Scum, not welcome anywhere around Reading. Very sorry to Orient and Agyei someone claiming to be a Reading fan is ignorant enough to do that. Pcunt. Where in that report does it suggest it was a Reading fan involved? The fact that his profile pic had him in a Reading shirt, and he had ReadingFC in ...

This won't be a surprise to anyone, but I was chatting to my (very reliable) source yesterday and he confirmed that everyone at the club, from Bowen down, is fully #sellbeforewedai. As in they are actively working against the owner and Pang. He was saying that, actually, Pang is considered to be th...

Re: Racism Shame

One assumes that a Reading ‘fan’ hasn’t looked too closely at his own team members for the past fifty plus years? Going by his name, and how he looks, he also seems to be Turkish, so has probably been on the receiving end at some stage of his life, too. It's one thing to put out a racist tweet, but...

Re: Racism Shame

Fezza That's ffffing disgusting. Hope the toad responsible is identified and prosecuted.

To any Orient fans reading, I can only apologise that this turd has decided to abuse Daniel.

He's been pretty thoroughly named and outed. The abuse was on twitter, and it seemed to be fairly easy to find him.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

Royals and Racers 15,972 attendance.

It was a better crowd than usual, but as usual, the announced figure tends to look about 2000 above the number actually there.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (h)

Winston Biscuit Port Vale now the team immediately above us in 5th from bottom. Lol.

The bottom half is pretty tight above the relegation zone, and the odds are that at least on of those teams will have a nightmare slide in their form. If we can keep picking up regular points, we'll probably be ok.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Winston Biscuit Just flatten it all and get on with building the Biscuit Tin Megadome somewhere dayn tayn

Sadly my plan to buy up the buildings around the cattle market and build a new stadium there was foiled by my Euromillions ticket not winning.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The plan is for the local football busses to do two trips, so you get there hours before kickoff or just before depending on which bus you get. The problem is that few will want to get there that early, and virtually nobody will want to wait for the second trip back after the game. I use the Foster...

This. If it gets a deal done, then continuing to pay rent (remember the club pay Dai rent now) is not a big deal esp if the deal is worded along the lines of "Rent will be X for Y years. Club will have the right to purchase the stadium at (set price) at any point up to and including (agreed da...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I was of the understanding that the Thais own the car park for the royal elm park development whenever that comes to fruition. I think that's right from what was in the Chronicle. Saw some plans for "Royal Elm Park" which covers all of the current car park. There is a multi-story car park...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If he kept the stadium, the rent would surely be negotiated alongside the sale. Any sensible buyer would want to lock in a fair rent for 5-10 years. So whilst it's not the best outcome, it would not be the disaster some fear. This. If it gets a deal done, then continuing to pay rent (remember the c...
