Would have thought so, seems like a bollocks rumour someone has spread on Twitter.
Pictures of him and Derrick Williams on the train…
Really, had the coach broken down?

Would you care to post these pictures or provide a link to them on this thread?

This isn’t the 1950s any more, so sorry if I’m having difficulty believing that in the 21st century a supposed professional football club is starting to send its players to and from games via the rail service in this country, where all sorts of things could happen, esp. if a performance hasn’t been seen as up to standard by some :?
Here is Williams which took me ages to find, can’t be bothered to find the wing one as you can imagine there are hundreds of posts on the hashtag since yesterday game.

Will there be more Reading or Cardiff fans at the Mad Stad on Saturday?

I guess they were on different trains? If not, the fact they are sat apart from each other is pretty damning in itself when it comes to team spirit.

Derrick Williams hasn't been accused of bad-mouthing our supporters so showing him on a train does little to verify the claims being made about Lewis Wing. I'm really beginning to suspect mischief-making when it comes to the latter.

:shock:

Presume they must have had evening “do’s” each somewhere that made more sense for them to get to via train than have the coach do detours or for them to get back to Reading and drive on somewhere.

Or are there other underlying issues? :o

Wing is a northern lad (Middlesbrough?).

We've seen him before leaving a game and not travelling on the team coach so it is feasible he didn't get the coach yesterday and caught the train somewhere

That's an LNER train which is Donny to Kings Cross on the east coast main line.....they are first class seats though.

Does he live in London? Might be easier and/or quicker for him to get home via Kings Cross than coach to Reading, train to Paddington etc. Not so sure it applies to Lewis though.


EDIT: Maybe he was going to visit friends or relations in the Capital. Or maybe, just going there for a good time!

He's broken the golden rule.
Never wear club colours on the train!

I took a break from Twitter and HNA? - not been on either for months, maybe even a year. Having returned, I can see why I gave up on them (in terms of football I mean).

I logged in entirely oblivious to the following "issues" to find:

- Fans bickering and debating that firstly Wing was on a train ... seriously ffs... they sometimes go off to different locations for personal reasons, or as they have the next day off, and the team do use trains sometimes.

- Secondly, they're all upset because apparnetly some comments were made about fans. Why comments, who, who heard this, utter utter bullshit. And even if they did comment, so what? They're probably pissed off. I can see why, as football fans - Reading for sure - are utter dicks.

- Lastly some stupid screenshots including Couhig.

It's like fans go out of their way to stir up shit or to be a little less happy.

It's so mindnumbingly pointless, meaningless and just stupid.

I’m just happy we’ve still got a club and will prolly get a top-half finish. Yeah, some performances have been dull/ downright disappointing ( I came over especially for Peterborough at home ffs, amongst other lowlights). But you can say that for every team in the League bar Lincoln.

Bolton, Bradford and Stockport have had some terrible results and performances, but will be in the play-offs


Anyway, Come on Reading.

I saw him after the Carlisle away game, I forgot what I said to him but it was a bit awkward.

Assuming you're Reading fan, I take it you include yourself in that generalising insult.
