In the EFL ruling for the recent 1pt deduction (3pts suspended) the club were clearly arguing Dai had the money, it was purely a cashflow/timing issue in getting it out of China. The events of this last week have clearly shown that not to be entirely accurate: - We had a month to get the 125% of wag...

I take a decent sized backpack in every game with my cycle helmet and sometimes a jumper etc, never encountered any issues. There is a bag search outside each gate, they are only really concerned with what's inside. The following articles must not be brought within the Ground - knives, Illegal Subst...

Up Shooters Way,
Where Reafing play,
C'mon Urz,
And win today,
Coz if you do,
My missus will say...
"Reading are class,
you can take me up the a**e"
Up Shooters Way.

Following the comments from Oliveira and Gomes in the press conference today, and the talk from local journalists and fans on social media and indeed here, most people seem to be agreed that accident or not the real failing here is on the FA for choosing not to review the footage due to a rule that ...

I suspect FFP is just being used as a convenient phrase, when in reality its more about preparing for a possible relegation. Which is fair enough and sensible this +1 This whole transfer window has been about protecting the club from FFP in the event of relegation. We sold two players for c. £3m ea...

We were Jaap Stam in,
Jaap Stam out,
Clement in,
Clement out,
We changed it all about,
We brought in Jose Gomes,
Now he's turned us around,
And that's what it's all about,

Oh Jose Gomes,
Oh Jose Gomes,
Oh Jose Gomes,
League one, oxf*rd off, rah rah rah!

Old Man Andrews It's Ady not "Adi". The level of disrespect towards a club legend like him is disgusting.

Oops, sorry Old Man Andrea, I've always been poor with names.

Gomes is going to prove Dim Dellor wrong, 1 - Dellor isn't saying that Gomes is going to be a failure, his argument is simply that there is little in the guys CV to suggest that he will be a success (particularly versus other managers who at least would start with experience of our club and/or the ...

Not sure how anyone can accuse Swift of having an awful attitude, this is a player who left Chelsea and came down to Reading as he was hungry to be playing football week in week out. Yes he's young, yes he's still developing his game, yes he can frustrate at times (as well as dazzle) , but one thing...

sometimes it's clear Mick doesn't prepare as much as he should (e.g recently claiming to have no knowledge of Gomes so wouldn't offer up an opinion - it's your job to commentate on the club so perhaps just spend 15mins having a quick Google before going on air at the very least?). Tbf Mick has a jo...

I really like Dellor, the fact he's a fan and cares so much makes it all the more interesting. Adi and Mick add depth as ex-pros with a passion for the club. My only two criticisms would be that sometimes it's clear Mick doesn't prepare as much as he should (e.g recently claiming to have no knowledg...

I actually think it would be a decent idea to move the away fans to the west side of the SS , then the SS singers can be closer and interact with Y25/26. This 100%, especially if the long term aim is to help spread or enhance the atmosphere further around the ground. Also, if we are still open to n...

Can't say I've ever noticed

Pants day, even for a protest, holds a very special place in the history of RFC, and whilst I'm certainly not happy with the way things are currently run at the club, I for one will not be taking part. Protest however you want, boo, abstain, whatever, but let's keep pants day as a special one off ev...

windermereROYAL F*cking hell how many more polls do we need?

Alright, calm down brexit!

Stuart 'Archie' Lovell Turned up for day 1 of training at Reading, nothing went his way, coach called him over and told him that the worst player he ever saw was a lad named Archie and that he must be Archie. Not only did the nickname stick, but when Lovell left Reading to join Hibs he thought he'd ...

Edwards is cup tied for tomorrow, not sure if any of our other summer signings find themselves in the same position?

Not in this country, but RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg not only changed their kits to the colours of their corporate owners, but interestingly this year's kits are pretty much the same and both teams had to have clearance from EUFA to play in the Champions League due to issues over ownership and ...

Let's all do the mobot,
Let's all do the mobot,
La la la la, la la la la....

Anyone got their points for the Gillingham game yet?

I was expecting 60 (20 for attendance, 10 for each goal, and 20 for the win) but so far nothing has been applied.
