Vydra...50,000 a week. Utter garbage. Fair play to Dellor saying it as it is.

Another massive crowd of 5000 at the Madstad today. Get rid of rugby asap.

Very sad. So much promise and then it all fell apart. RIP Anyone from that time able to give an insight as to why it didn't work out. Logically, after that first season, only a small amount of adjustment to the defensive side of the team should have been required to attain promotion? 1969/70 season...

Simod Cup memories: Semi-final. Home to Coventry. Southbank was jammed. Full Town End of Coventry City fans. Game went to penalties. At one point we were 0-2 down. We were out. Steve Francis saves two penalties, and it is up to Michael Gilkes to score the final penalty to take us to Wembley. A numbe...

Palace memories. Got to be the 76/77 season. Away draw with Friday scoring a glancing header to equalise late on at their place. Home game on New Years Day (first game after Friday moved to Cardiff) and around 8 coach loads of Southampton came to the game as their game had been called off. Quite an ...

The big car park opposite the Holiday Inn (used to be the Digital HQ) is either £7 or £8 and tends to still have spaces half hour before KO.

What about Jack Whitham. Only ever scored 3 goals for us....but all in one game !!! Away to Workington 75/76. Away to Hartlepool to be precise I stand corrected. That was the double header in the North East that season. Workington away on the Saturday and Hartlepool away on the Monday. And yes, Whi...

What about Jack Whitham.

Only ever scored 3 goals for us....but all in one game !!! Away to Workington 75/76.

I remember going to Fellows park in the early 80s winning 2-1 and Neil Webb scored a last minute header, going mental in the rain on the open terrace behind the goal with about 20 other Royals who made the trip. :D :D :D Happy Days I was one of those 20 :D One of the rare away days where I was in t...

Nostalgia - someone else's history with all the bad bits taken out. No. The question was would you swap the Madstad with Elm park. It's a hypothetical question, as Elm Park is a housing estate now. For a number of the older generation, Elm Park has great memories. Yes, there were bad times...but th...

I was present at Elm Park from 1970 through to its closure. From a boy, I progressed through the Tilehurst End..and then my 'home' was the Southbank. I barely missed a home game from mid 1970s till its closure. Brilliant memories. Epic wins, packed night games, pitch invasions, numerous promotions a...

Give it to McDermott. If not. Pearson. Happy with either.

Was a few terrace steps up in the Tilehurst End. Only honest recollection is thinking at the time that the play was miles away from the goal, and suddenly the ball was in the net. And then the eerie split second silence before everyone realised what had just happened. Ray Hiron hit the post twice th...

The game aside...which has been covered. For those that haven't been to Rotherham; Stadium feels like a half size version of the Madstad. Two hours before kick off, you wouldn't even know a game was being played. Speaking to sensible Rotherham fans, they think we will be "there or thereabouts&q...

Spot on afternoon Green. Very enjoyable.

Pictures are too big to put on hobnob apparently. Happy to send them to you if you pm me. Sorry about that.

On its way Green

I took a couple of photos inside the pub yesterday afternoon, Not great quality, but will post them later today.
The pub (Cutlers Arms) was a decent pub. Good ale. Locals were friendly, and an easy walk to the ground.

Cheers Green. Looks like the Cutlers Arms for me. Much appreciated.

Anyone suggest any decent pubs near the ground or town centre please?

You can't say 2500 is a poor turnout when there is still over two weeks to go to the game.

Also, the 2500 is tickets sold by RFC in our end. We know that some RFC fans have already got tickets in the neutral side.

We will take between 3300-3800. No doubt.

Correct. Picked up 4 tickets today. 2500 sold. Club are asking Fulham for more tickets

Looks like a serious away day
