Royals and Racers Next up on Friday 19th December home to Hull at Aldershot FC KO 7pm in PL 2 Cup.

Would've gone to this, but it appears Aldershot is a bit of a ball-ache to get to and from on public transport, given I live in West Berkshire. Google reckons it would be quicker to get home from Coventry than Aldershot :lol:

The public transport is a problem because nothing lines up with each other and the lack of trains towards West Berkshire from Reading at that hour, so I'd be waiting for a prolonged period for trains unfortunately.

Came on as a sub on Saturday and impressed.
Interesting that he’s the 5th Bradfield College pupil to get a pro football contract. Can’t be many private schools producing footballers, much more rugby and cricket territory.

He's too short to elbow anyone in the face!

Part of the team plan, Slough still won 3-1.

Not ideal when we've sent him there because the unders don't have a lot of games for the next month.
