You just can't please anyone any of the time. We've had a "noisy" exclusivity period which built everyone's hopes up then dashed them all at the last minute. Now there's a dead quiet exclusivity going on where the club have already said funding of the club will be covered until the sale i...

Not really been keeping up with latest takeover news as, like everybody else on here, we'll believe it once officially announced. However, when I saw Roger Smee's name mentioned this morning, I thought about his previous heroics to see off Maxwell and suddenly felt a warm glow. Could he just be the ...

scumbag Bowen confirmed as a speaker at STAR fans forum next month...could be interesting!

Would you bet on him turning up? What are the odds?

Think the " Dunkirk spirit" with the team is becoming a great asset for us , yes we were outplayed for sections of the game yesterday but we dug in there for a fine victory. Mbengue typifies that spirit and is a wonderful player for us exemplified by the amazing clearance of the line. Not...

Crowbar6753 Aldershot away would be tasty, especially for some of us older folk who remember the good old days back then

Whether this was in the Ding or the Shot, it would be a war zone. In fact, some of the Aldershite actually live in the Ding. And not a lot of peeps know that.

Brogue I think this one is a goer

No offence but you thought Storey was a goer.

I think Brogue is a goer. The little tart.

I'd say Brogue is a shoo-in

Football club worth is based mainly around division, because that dictates income. A 24k seater stadium in L1 is worth less than in the Championship, because in L1 its half empty but you've still got to maintain it fully. It doesn't have much inherent value when it's somewhat protected from redevel...

I agree with pepe that it's just too meek and mild. I don't think an on-field protest is right at the moment, but what that did was actually demonstrate our grit, the severity of the situation, it was a serious action - particularly for our fanbase who are not known for such things. A half-empty gr...

Selles has asked the fans not to add to players' disruption, so presume that kills in match disruption as an idea; will never get enough consensus. Given the next home game is on telly think the rather obvious thing to do is turn up in numbers, provide very obvious noisy support for the team and ma...

When was the last time a newbie username was anyone other than one of the regular trolls? As I recall it was "Confimred" not "Confrimed" so these Johnny come lately confrimmers can do one. It was 100% 'confimred' to begin with - you're absolutely right. It still makes me somewha...

Pretty sure its as simple as someone on here just mistyped it. Everyone took the piss. This is how I remember it. Same here. I recall "stundent" was a deliberate typo, but "confrimation" was accidental. When was the last time anyone new on the board was greeted with "F**k o...

The Cap As the great man himself, Michael Caine, said during the riots "Calm down". And not a lot of people know that

Sure you've not merged Michael Winner with MIchael Caine?

Quite seashore mate. Goggle it.

Barring something catastrophic jumping out of the woodwork, it's seemingly been a done deal for over a month. Just final wranglings as little problems pop to the surface now Couhig and co are basically running the club, and Dai's general inability to be contactable and do anything professional. Cou...

I wouldn`t think this is the work of Dai, why should he care what happens at the club now?, if the prospective new owners made the decision surely that can only be a good thing regarding the takeover by having a nice little staff turnover. Regarding the legal action Bowen has broken football league...

Assuming that everybody has seen Jones' rant after the game? Talk about venting your spleen. In fact, has he got any spleen left? The total opposite to Ruben after the Wrexham game. Which leads me on to the point that once the takeover is sorted, an extension to Ruben's contract is of the utmost imp...

Bowen gets a lot of stick, but his fingerprints are all over recruiting this team and appointing Selles. We'd be in a much worse situation without him. And Howe’s job was to sell the club, which it looks like he has done Howe has been in it for himself since the Zingarevich's, and he's a full blown...

Yes liked Camara today. End product was a bit off but lots of good stuff. He looks a lot stronger and bigger than last I saw him. Bit like Elliott and Savage. I thought Dorsett was excellent as well. Dim got it right today (unusually) that we look fitter and stronger across the board this season. H...

Got my first season ticket in 1975 and my final one last season. Now retired, living by the sea and can’t face the journey 23+ times a year, but my son will carry on, just as I took over from my Dad. I do plan to go to a few games each season, but for the most part, I will let Tim, Mick and Adie de...

New manager announced Pedro Bruno with assistant Shelley Strange. Pedro and Strange have been with RFC Women’s team and are promoted. Very good interview. He speaks well, so let's see what happens on the pitch. Big rebuilding job ahead, as well as the 'mystique' of Reading. We've been dealing with ...

Let’s not go overboard :roll: had a poor run at Southampton a shit start with us. He’s had half a season where he worked wonders. But in a weird way our struggles probably helped him. The fans rallied against the efl and dai and the players and manager rode the crest of that wave. For him to be cla...
