Green Great trolling from a club who could well become our rivals in a few seasons.
Has anyone told them Reading isn't a city yet?

It isn't but I expect it will be within 100-200 years

It says "city centre" on the front of some of the buses, that's good enough for me.

tidus_mi2 I have no connection to Reading itself to be honest, only supported Reading because my Dad started taking me when we last got promoted to the Championship, always lived in Fleet so always been in the fairly close category, as a result, Reading City don't remotely interest me, even in my opinion, the unlikely event Reading FC ceased to exist. I'd probably just lose interest in football.

I think if we went bust, but were able to reform down in the Southern League, but playing at the Madejski, I would definitely still go.
If the Madejski got knocked down and some reformed club went to Scours Lane, making any return to the league a very distant goal, it would be much harder to retain an interest.

I doubt any club would play at the Madejski in the Southern League. The upkeep on the stadium would be far too expensive for a club at that level surely. We'd probably have to get at least 2,000 on average, with tickets the same price as they've been in the Championship, to maintain the ground for a season - and that's without considering squad costs, etc.
There is no obvious alternative for who would use the stadium however, unless the council convinces another rugby team to come play in Reading.
