Re: Madejski being booed yesterday

all madejski cares about is getting as much money as possible for himself so when he sells the club he can rub his hands in glee for the money he has gained. Thats why he is hardly investing in the squad and paying as little wages as possible so he comes out of his time with reading having gained a...

Re: £23 million In ... £1.4 million Spent

In the words of JM - Reading lost £22million by getting relegated. How can you lose what you didn't have in the first place? income and outgoings on a yearly basis, make the foundation of any financial review and planning you base it on what you had coming in, and going out last year if that income...

Re: £23 million In ... £1.4 million Spent

A few posts have just summed up the idiocy Reading Football Club has to put with from its supporters. "Sadly I can't see us ever selling because Madejski will claim all assests belong to him i.e Hotel, training ground etc etc etc etc So what's their to buy and who would personaly profit from th...

Re: Nicky Hammond

Wasn't there a time Arsenal were interested in him as their director of football? He clearly has respect in the game. Did he not negotiate us £5.5mill for Kitson before another £2mill for Sonko, 2 deals that for me are brilliantly ripping off Stoke (They've paid £2mill to concede 5 penalties and 4 ...

Re: Fans forum

I don't mean teaching them the error of their ways, just trying to explain why we feel the way we do at the moment. Of course, if the club actually came out and told us their objectives, we wouldn't have to speculate on them. We might not like them, but at least we'd know where we all stood, as it ...

Re: Madejski's comments to BBC Radio Berkshire

This is getting absolutly ridiculous. I don't know in which direction to point my anger/arguments.

Re: Madejski's comments to BBC Radio Berkshire

Do people not understand the basic principles of running a business? And yes weather you like or not in order for RFC to survive it needs to be treated as a business first, football club second. If the books don't balance the football club don't exist, simple as. Let me put this simply to you . . La...

Re: Madejski's comments to BBC Radio Berkshire

If we have surplus cash and their are players available that want to come to us for a price that reflect their market value that will also improve the team then I am sure we will buy them. These kind of players are very hard to come by unfortunately. In the last 3 years Madejski has always allowed m...

Re: Casual fans can't watch the royals because of club policy

The only mail I ever recieved from the club is relevant information and offers regarding my ST, normally only once at the start of each season. It clearly says on the OS that information will NOT be sold on to third parties without consent. I never said it solved the problem altogether as determined...

Re: Casual fans can't watch the royals because of club policy

P.s Member cards are a brilliant idea you will struggle to find a really good argument against them. The only thing up for debate is weather they should be compulsory.In the Premiership definately - if fans only want to watch Reading for one game because they are in the premiership, or worse becaus...

Re: Casual fans can't watch the royals because of club policy

no, firstly i had to pay in the first instance, im quite happy to pay again if i lost it, its my fault, but i dont see why i should have to have a bloody card to get a match ticket, its not so loyal fans get tickets first, bollocks, its about making money. No, it is about knowing who you are sellin...

Re: Casual fans can't watch the royals because of club policy

I'm pretty sure the club made a member card compulsory for all home fans only when we were in the Premiership. One of the reasons for this is because it was anticiapted, and more often than not accurately so, that the club would be able to fill the seats of genuine fans without needing the support o...

Re: The Academy

Chelsea's interest in Henry was when he signed profesional terms with the club, about 3 years ago now I think. I think that speaks volumes about the potential of the player and also his attitude, given that he chose his home town side over a shot at the bigtime and undoubtedly more money. There is n...

Re: FREE SCARF! (For Season Ticket Holders Only)

So, is this in commemoration, or is it another way to hook in the buyers? You are actually joking in asking this question, surely? Why be cynical about it? You don't have to pick yours up if you don't want one. Newcastle fans were given free scarves about a season or so back and they looked quite i...

Re: What will we average next season?

Judging on how dramatically these figures jumped when we started doing well I am expecting a similarly dramatic fall now that we are not doing so well. --------- That is illogical.
