Royals and Racers Joe Barough has joined Basingstoke on loan


Let’s hope he clearly stands out as the best player on the pitch in every game he plays.

RG30 Saturday 10th January are the U21's still due to play Leeds at Bearwood (midday KO?)

Now the next match KO 12pm - it’s a PL 2 fixture and to attend you have to be a season ticket holder and phone the ticket office and pay £5 to stand on a grass bank. :(
LUFC TV on their subscription channel appear to be showing the match live.

A preview from the away side- it doesn’t really matter that they are a prem club. The coverage from RFC of our CAT 1 Academy is appalling.

Can't agree more. We often don't even get results from the official accounts, let alone match previews; score updates; highlights; etc.

U 18’s match postponed today. The PL app and Reading website now shows us playing Chelsea on Tuesday 27th January and Villa on Wednesday 28th- definitely a cock-up !!!

Reading Academy X covering today’s U 21’s match at Bearwood - from 12pm.

Nice interview with Alex Pearce on youtube, about his last year coaching in the Academy.

What a lovely humble guy... described himelf as coming through the ranks here, getting his debut and making a few appearances for the club... missing out that was over 200 appearances, a PotS award, Championship winners medal and a season in the top flight.

Is access to games at Bearwood strictly STH only ? I fancy going to a game but am no longer a STH. Is the TO at all flexible if you have a long history on the system ?

I would think you could hopefully find an STH on here who would happily get you in.
