In. Driving up with nephew and his son. Will be my third visit to Vale Park (was there in '79 for the title-clinching win) and it is a decent enough ground. Was a big old ground back in the days of 'The Wembley of the North' and record attendance was just under 50,000; there were plans to expand cap...

First words from Monica.... https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/23656089.reading-fc-boss-first-message-supporters-arrival/ I hope you're not going to be calling him Monica all the time. If you are, please stop now. How about Peter...? https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:608/format:webp/0*vRO...

New drinking game in the offing: a shot each time Ruben Selles begins a sentence in his interviews with "...Absolutely, absolutely...".

Anyway, good luck Ruben. Hopefully, better times ahead this season.

Overrated: Michael Meaker Underrated: Simon Osborn To think that we got Meaker in a part-ex deal for Osborn. Laughable. The reason Osborn is underrated is that a lot of Reading fans today did not see him play - and those that did only saw him for one season. A wonderfully talented midfielder - and a...

Renewed. Works out at £10.43/game, so a bargain.

Brief entry on Wilder's Wikipedia page that he has been appointed as new Reading boss, but the line later removed.

For me: 1970/71 1976/77 1982/83 1987/88 1997/98 2007/08 2012/13 and now...2022/23 Weird, but I can remember where I was and what I was doing at the moment of all of those relegations. 1970/71 was really hard - we had been a third-tier club for FORTY years and it felt like our natural ceiling. Relega...

Hound Yeah thought Sarr was decent today

Yes, that was Sarr's best game for us.

We pressed better and higher up, but I was also impressed by Burnley's pressing: Hendrick once won the ball in our third and was immediately surrounded by FIVE Burnley players.

Delboy Thank you mark Bowen great response, clarified a lot of things. Now we must back the team for the last 7 cup finals URZ

^This. We now have clarity and we all need to get behind this team for the next seven games - starting Friday.

Anyone over the age of 50 knows the rivalry. To anyone below 30, Oxford are just another local lower league club like Wycombe, or Swindon come to that. It’s nearly 20 years since we last played Oxford, a period where we have had two promotions to the top flight as champions and have spent an unbrok...

Simply a brilliant video about being a fan of a small club.

That is wonderful.

I have seen us play worse than that at home this season and win. A draw would have been a fair result, but I thought any impetus we had going into the final stretch was lost when Joao came on for Long. Sheff Utd were functional at best, but Ndiaye is some player.

Enjoyed the change of shape yesterday to a 433 and at times looking like a 4141 with Hendrick doing a good unspectacular job in front of the back four. Pleased for Meite as well, who obviously loves playing to his strengths and on that form is pretty much unplayable at times. For me, jury still out ...

First season ticket was 74/75 in Norfolk Road B stand. Season tickets for the terraces were not available then IIRC. Think my first season ticket for the Tilehurst End was 83/84.

My uncles swore that Duncan Edwards was the best player they had ever seen. Strange to think that if he had survived Munich, he would only have been 29 years old when the 1966 World Cup came around and maybe a shout for captain instead of Moore. Other British players for me? Best, Law, Baxter, Hodd...

Jesus, Chelsea were dog shit today vs Citeh. Taxi for Potter soon at this rate.

Dele-Bash looked good for Wednesday last night. Very impressed with Wednesday and deserved winners against Toon,. That’s Fisayo Dele-Bashiru not Tom who, unsurprisingly, is currently one of Watford’s injury statistics. They’re brothers. Just too many Dele-Bashirus. Almost as bad as keeping track of...

I hope the club take at least a 6k allocation so everyone who wants a ticket can get one Current FA regulations state 15% of capacity up to a maximum of 9,000. 15% is over 11.000. i would expect an initial allocation of around 6,000, and then more if we need them 15% is indeed over 11,000, but the ...
