I was born in Lusaka, Zambia, I live in Australia and lived briefly in Reading as a child which is why I support the team. Thank God I don't live there anymore as, honestly, you have to admit, it is a horrible place. Probably on a par with Wolverhampton or High Wycombe.

It is not as if you would be going to watch another league team. In a similar way I occasionally go and watch Colwyn Bay games in the Unibond...
that was always my logic as I settled into my seat at the Kassam...
We're both currently 16th (alphabetically) in a Premierleague....

Quite right too! Which game did you see? and do you think that you will return to the 'promised land'?
p.s. have you ever held up a liquor store?

Living in Reading to soak up all all the IT money I can and then hot-footing it back to healthy, peaceful, rural Suffolk when the money for a 2 bed terrace here will buy me a 5 bed detached there.
