As if supporters choose which team to support, based on what their stadium is like - or change the team they support part-way through their life.

Present company excepted, of course.

I'm not saying you have a choice, just saying the Mad Stad is a soulless place for football in terms of things to do around the ground.

Yeah - it's like they don't do area regeneration anywhere do they? Many new football grounds with new Harvesters etc within a few minutes walk - but no - not at Reading.

Jackson Corner Even Tredder would admit to us having better support, our ground is better, our turnover bigger. Sadly football these days is about money. Rangers have shit loads and we have oxf*rd all.


Where would you honestly prefer to watch your home games though?

A stadium in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do, club doesn't want any other pubs around so they can monopolise on beer sales and refreshments - or a Stadium in close proximity to lots of bars/restaurants and other great amenities?


I wasn't refering to the location just pointing out the fact we have a better ground than QPR. They may have some nice pubs outside the ground, but at least we don't have to watch our football with our knees under our chins or spend the game looking through a pillar.

1) So why is there a Pizza Hut, KFC and McDonalds within spitting distance of the ground if the club want to "monopolise on...refreshments"?

2) Whether they want a pub near the ground or not, the club have little or no say in what opens on any land other than their own. Any objection via public authority I would lay money on being thrown out. And there are two pubs within 10 minutes walk, but then as a oxf*rd Chelsea spacker I wouldn't expect you to know that.

3) When was the last time you went to Shepherd's Bush?

oxf*rd prick.

Or a ground where you can see the whole of the pitch?

6,129 is pretty close to Loftus Rd's capacity if you only count the seats with an unobstructed view of the pitch.

LoyalRoyalFan But Tredder can go and support Celtic and engage in some right-wing ponce as well.

Tredder - you're probably well aware of it but you'd like the Orchard Tavern on Askew Road.

Used to be an IRA pub, and very much a QPR boozer with a permanent flag on display. No real ale though.

Literally sounds like the worst boozer ever.
