Re: Blackpool ( A ) Tuesday 1st April

Anyone know if you will be able to pay on the day for this? Had a look on Reading's website but couldn't see anything. Live just down the road so was going to pop along for this one. Might be worth giving the ticket office a call. Yeah, probably the best thing to do, rather than being lazy and hopi...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

How long will the EFL let this drag on? Thinking about the implications for the whole league if we are expelled, there is no way realistically it can go on beyond the final day of the season. Assuming we don't reach the playoffs, our status still has major repercussions for League 1 (relegation - h...

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

To be fair, this is in line with what many of us suspect(ed). The transfer stuff confirms that we've done alright this window, I think, and that it wasn't random chance we got that outcome. Didn't they say this after the Couhig deal collapsed? Pretty much. Or if they didn't certainly others here di...

Re: Rumour - Sam Smith to Huddersfield

So i guess its being reported that a couple of significant barricades towards the sale of the club have been lifted so something must be going on behind the scenes whoever that may be. I would also like to thing that if things are progressing that the said party would be communicating to the player...

Re: Rumour - Sam Smith to Huddersfield

He’s a northerner so would probably feel at home He’s from Lancashire (least Manchester was always in Lancashire before they started inventing those stupid urban conglomerations up there). So probably not overly keen on feeling at home in Yorkshire. It’s all north, can’t be that different. It’s not...

Deluded of Wales says Came here to see if anyone had posted something about this. I'm not sure how you can say something like that when a team loss less games than you, won more games than you, scored more goals than you and conceded less goals than you? I hope he bumps into a member of the 106 squ...

Re: Bindon to be sold

This is my take on it. Take the money. As much as it means Dai won't be forced to sell, it means we can survive to the end of the season at least on the money with no points deduction. Rueben and the academy are just becoming a pure talent culturing machine. To the point, eventually young talent wil...

Big difference in league positions and form. Grow up.

In their defence, you say this pretty much every week. Or certainly seem to.

Probably the funniest goal we've ever conceded btw


Sure there must be worse ones than that (the Darlington double back in 1985/86 perhaps?)? Another thread poll needed maybe....

Rougier and Hunter vs Walsall.

This gets my vote.

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

I'd argue virtually nothing in your post directly improves revenue. And between 1 and 2 fifths actually harms it. On this point, I'd like to argue to the contrary. I took my two step children to their first Reading game yesterday (age 6 and 9). They have never shown an interest to watch a match wit...

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

I probably should wait until a takeover is confirmed, but hopefully Dai is on his way out. In terms of how I'd like to see incoming owners go about business, I think there are several priorities to focus on: 5) Back the women's team If the men have had it bad, the women's team has been ruined.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Would love to see football run more like the NFL. Now I know there is only 32 teams so not as much competition for fans etc, but NFL franchises are rarely run at a loss. If we could get the same kind of branding and marketing awareness into football, especially in the catchment area that Reading ha...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If it was the Wilf brothers then we could have won the owners jackpot. They’ve been transformational for the Vikings, who now have the best facilities, infrastructure and stadium in the NFL. Not going to get excited though until something confirmed. Would love to see football run more like the NFL....

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

Something else I've noticed. Certain people on here will just go against the majority seemingly for the sake of it. Like they just love being or want to be controversial. Even Derby fans I know said it was a shocking ref and they felt they had to apologise for the poor decisions. So if Reading fans ...
