First game, Elm Park, 1964, sitting watching the Royal's just does'nt do it for me. Walk from Rylestone Rd, up Chester St, across Oxford, up Wantage, stand on the cold concrete for two hours and walk back. Or you can drive to Madstad, sit with your blanket and thermos, ' leave me alone '. EP 34 Mads...

I was born in Reading in '56, I've been following the 'Royals' as long as I can remember, Tilehurst end . Third and Fourth division. And still follow them to this day with the same enthusiasm and passion as I did 45yrs ago, still ringing my dad, who watched Ron Blackman bangin' em in, with the resul...

You sure the blonde is'nt Lady Penelope from the Thunderbirds ???????????????????????

Google ' political economy of football ', go to football clubs, and start comparing the turnovers,pre-tax profits, wages/ turnovers and employees of individual clubs and stop your pu'ckn guessin'. Steve Coppell put together a crackin' side in 05/06 whick continued 06/07, then the book jugglin' start...

See ya later Simple Dero Retard, hope your new team goes well.

BREAKING NEWS:- SJM quoted as saying " Could'nt really give a rats freckle about Millsy signing, much prefer to be mid champ table for a few years, then I can slip out the backdoor when no-ones looking and leave you lot to fend for yourselves. The stadium can slowly deterioate into a state of d...

In my 45yrs since first entering Elm Park, these last few seasons have no doubt been the most enjoyable, mixing it with the best , you can't ask for any more. The 106 season and first year in the Prem sensational, the benchmark has been set. Steve Coppell, I will always keep an eye on your manageria...

Fed,s all round game is perfect for 08/09 Royals, but how good is it to see a keeper actually hold the ball after a canon shot rather than panda it to anyone in the box. A word of advice to you die-hard Royal supporters who are lucky enough to go every game, if you want ' The Fed ' to play the game ...

Doyler.......54 goals from 145 app....
Lita..........31 goals from 91 app....

Thats in the blue & white hoops...


I'll let you do the maths................

GO HARD YOU ROYALS..........................

So there you go, Sportinglife says ' Shorey move is imminent ', back to the Prem within days, can't come quick enough, now we'll get more possesion and I won't have to cringe everytime he walks towards the corner spot. Lets hope a new blood LB is on the cards, out with the deadwood and in with the n...

Exciting weeks ahead, with Derby strong fave for the drop, Bolton to play all 'Top 4' and two UEFA ties, They'll have a mongrel of a few weeks ahead, all the more reason for us to send em home with nothin', Wigan to play the top 3 with Man U last game, Fulham do nothing for me whatsoever, they shoul...

When some of you have stopped crying over your bowl of milk. SC's Royals style of play is what's commonly known as ' Having a Go ', Not playing ' Panda ' football, soft goals from Spurs, not to mention the 'Don't Argue' on Ingar for Berbs last were piss poor, but counter attacking produces that sort...

Louis Armstrong's ' It's a Wonderful World ' in the mid to late sixties when we were mixin' it with the likes of Gilliingham, Mansfield Town, Hartlepool, QPR, Hull City and the rest of those cellar dwellars.

You can stick with Louis but give me EPL any day.

' GO HARD YOU ROYALS '

Typical ' Seppo ' hogwash trash talk, go do a little more research fruitcake and show a little more respect while you're at it. If Steve Coppell was manager of Burnblack Rovers they would'nt be challenging for 9th spot on the last day, if he had your lot ( and Lucas Neil would still be there ), you'...

WOW ! Thank the breweries we don't all think the same, a fascinating read indeed. Totally understand why a lot of true blue supporters are confused at SC's strategy, but after ' closely following ' Reading FC for near on 40yrs, I for one am more than happy to wait a few more by concentrating on Prem...

SC has said on more than one occasion, ' Our position at the end of the season will not be by accident ', which means every player, coaching staff member, even the tea lady are playing their part, [ including the 'serial pest' to the opposition, Steve Hunt]. As for line cameras, take the good with t...

Robin Friday was not only a first class footballer, he was a first class bloke, he'd be in the dressing sheds after the game with cuts, bruises and lumps on his legs from defenders ' trying ' to bring him down. In today's game, he would have scored 83 goals from his 135 games for Reading instead of ...

There's a Rugby League competition where a team called Manly, who were tagged the ' Silvertails ' had a rivalry with Western Suburbs who were known as the ' Fibro Dwellers ', the Silvertails were the money team, bought the good players, played a great game of footie, the Fibro Dwellers had very litt...

' Trust Steve ', I think was the headline, could'nt agree more, virtually the same side from last term, except for the addition of 4 internationals, and Mr Sodje. No I would'nt be too concerned, sit back and enjoy the season. Go Hard or Go Home.
