Kid has hoops on too.

This isn't actually a good thing, it implies our club is so boring and inoffensive that McDonalds have used the imagery as part of a national advert campaign since they know it won't alienate anyone.

[Brum Royal]

Isn't that the McD's on the retail park at the end too?

[MoorgateRoyal]

That's pretty cool.

For a nondescript modern bowl, the Madejski has featured in quite a few things, if I remember correctly.

There have been a couple of other adverts, and wasn't it also on the cover of Footy Manager or something similar once?

I also vaguely recall it being rendered pretty poorly in a rugby game on the PS2.

I'm sure the Brighton fans will be crying into their porridge with jealousy this morning.

It also appeared on some film where we were playing Leeds at home

It's probably about location as much as anything. Maybe Stoke or Huddersfield would've fat the bill also but if the production and filming companies are all Thames Valley based, what ya gonna do?

At least they didn't choose Adams Park.

For some reason Channel 4 advertised "Some Kind of Monster" a while back by parking Metallica's tour bus by the back of the North Stand

I have that exact same hat. Knitted by my Nan when I was about 7.

Yes was on the cover of FM2006 if memory serves me correctly. It is also featured on the advert for the new Sky Atlantic show ballers.

And in a betting advert, betway I think.

Episode of Scrubs wasn't it?

It was in Rugby 08 on the PS2, but has recently been recreated much better in Rugby Challenge 2 on PS3. Can't find a picture of it anywhere on the internet though.

This is just RFC's gentle way for preparing us for the renaming of the stadium to the McDonalds Big Mac Arena next week.

[CountryRoyal]

It's also been in a porno.

Not sure why, but Mr and Mrs Smith springs to mind here?

You've stoked a vague memory in my mind.

Googling now.

I found the scene and it looks like either us or QPR v Wolves, but very old footage.

[The Prisoner]

Footage of us playing Wolves was on in the background whilst Brad Pitt assassinated someone at a poker game in the 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith. Not sure if it is at the Mad Stad or not tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QEMMa12sFo

EDIT - just seen the comments above!!!
