Re: The phoenix club thread

Simply getting behind Reading City might not be the worst option. Established club, with a ground. An influx of support would potentially let them rise rapidly up the leagues and they may not be averse to becoming the home of former Royals, although they might hate the idea . To be honest it would ...

Re: Minutes applause during a game

maybe I am heartless, but I really dislike the whole minute applause on a specific minute for fans who have died stuff +1 not a fan of gestures at football. All seems a bit stodgy and mawkish (i.e. scousey) I blame the demise of the match day programme, which would've previously been the natural pl...

Re: Greenland

I believe UEFA only consider UN members (as that matches FIFA's membership criteria), unless required to consider another territory by CAS order (see Gibraltar), think UEFA should consider associate membership for self-governing territories and allow them to play in the Nations League. This would a...

Re: Greenland

Had enough of UEFA repeatedly turning down their application to become members, so today they have applied to become members of CONCACAF instead. UEFA qualifying criteria is that the UN need to recognise you as fully independent nation, so greenland fails there. Good luck to 'em I say! Not sure if ...

Re: Charlton ( A) Saturday 4th January

Delboy There are 4 of with tickets not been to. Charlton before will train to Paddington what’s the best way from there ?

Lizzie to Woolwich probably, takes you to within a couple of miles of the ground. Short bus ride from there or two stops on South Eastern from nearby Woolwich Arsenal.

Re: Reading's Penalty Shoot Out Record

Another one for the slate I feel like these aren't as rare as they used to be Feels worse when you've sat through 6 of them with a record of W1 L5 Lita at Stoke FFS although, in a moment you might appreciate, I did turn round to find I was stood next to Willow. Nice. A blast from the past and a bla...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai Action/Inaction Group

It still only got attention because there no (few?) premier league games that day. Unless something is done on a weekend that's a similar 'slow news day' it'll barely get a mention, and the brutal truth is that it hasn't made a shred of difference. It got live FA Cup attention with pundits discussi...

Re: FA Cup 1st round draw Monday 14th October

Tamworth is a surprisingly good away day. Last time I went, mate and I sat down outside the clubhouse and we got a genuine 'during the war' story from this old fella we were sat near. Old castle, capital of mercia, several good pubs (paging Green to thread on https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-s...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (a)

Mid Sussex Royal Have they got undersoil heating? I'm 40 miles from Peterborough and it's been sub zero day and night since Monday.

Location royals who no longer live in stated location.

Re: Hospitality

And you pay the appropriate price for it. The target market for this level of hospitality won't want to pay that sort of price. Looking at the prices this season, I think they already are. Prices have gone through the roof since we last bought tickets for hospitality (even allowing for inflation) a...
