The Royal Forester Didn't we also hold the record for the longest unbeaten at home record?
What about the record number of goals scored by a mid-fielder in one season?
or the record number of goals scored by sub in one Premier League season?
I am not sure about this one though. Have we finished top of more DIFFERENT Divisions than any other team? Championship, Third Division, Fourth Division, Third South etc.
Who says Reading have no history with that number of records held/have held.
Can anyone think of any others?
Believe Reading held the unbeaten at home record for a while from the mid 1930s, think Millwall took over in the mid 60s? Then Liverpool in the late 70s, Chelsea in the 00s? And Liverpool again currently?
Reading’s winning of divisions is a record they appear to be sharing with Grimsby(!) excluding Div 1/PL Reading have won every football league division they have played in; Division 2/Championship, Division 3/League 1, Division 4/League 2 and Division 3 South.
Grimsby have done exactly the same but with Division 3 North instead of Division 3 South. Grimsby are also one of those handful of clubs that would have been eligible to play in both Division 3 South and Division 3 North but the highest they managed in D3S was only 13th.
Reading just need to win the PL/Division 1 then
Of course you might be a able to find clubs that have won the same division at various times under different names eg Division 3/League 1/Division 2 etc. but personally think that’s just going too far.
