Earnshaw reporting that this is only an option if the club falls into admin, which is 'looking unlikely currently'. Presumably why the Matt Hughes article frames this as 'potential saviour'.

Also club still in talks with unnamed party - club must still be funded by them then

The sting in the tail with this is apparently the Cambridge league game will still take place on the Tuesday so 48 hours later. That means we will play a similar side to Cheltenham in the cup. That's crap. Neither team plays until 3pm Saturday the next weekend so no reason why the Cambridge game co...

Not selected for live TV according to FA website Moved to Sunday at 2pm though. Bit odd to move it if its not? International coverage match i expect. Chosen by the BBC for extended highlights Fair enough. Shame we don't get the TV money (unless we get some for international coverage?) and I'm sure ...

Thank Christ for that. Have agreed to do something with the mrs on that day already assuming it would be off!

The roar and release of energy at the end of the Stevenage (A) game last season was gr8. Apparently we celebrated like we'd won the world cup. So what. Indeed, we were in a relegation battle and had barely won an away game. Didn't expect anything from the game and it was perfectly understandable we...

Eh? Stevenage have a massive injury crisis in defence, in particular at centre back. We have one good striker, Sam Smith. He's injured, but apparently will only miss this league game (plus some cup games). All things considered, we might have got quite lucky that it's this particular league game Sm...

Reckon the tv games will be: Blackpool vs Birmingham Kettering vs Doncaster Walsall vs Charlton Wealdstone vs Wycombe Would be harsh on Harborough. Can't see Walsall v Charlton being that attractive but you're probably right on the others. Think we'll be one of them, Harborough getting this far is ...

Equally though any Administrators have to balance that side with maintaining a club that is reasonably competitive in the league (though I think it might be seen as pretty pointless after the 12 point deduction). I don't think it would. We'd still be outside the relegation zone if a 12 point deduct...

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/all-notices/content/101529 Given that Dai wouldn't do it, nor would the directors, that only really leaves a successful winding up order as the only way it could happen. We aren't going to get wound up while we still have some money to pay the bills, so that really seem...

Royals and Racers It’s NOT at the club- at Phantom brewery in Portman Road.

Double-Barrelled brewery is Portman Road. Phantom Brewery is on Meadow Road near Cardiff and Swansea Roads opposite TGIs.

So is it at Phantom on Meadow Road or at Double on Portman Road?

Interesting piece in this blog about the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) recently expanding something called the “Detailed emergency planning zone” (DEPZ) around its Burghfield site to include a chunk of South Reading, including the Mad Stad ... https://readingonthames.com/2024/10/20/reading-loc...

Here's my conspiracy theory plan. Bring on the flames. £55 million secured on the stadium by the bank ( or whatever the number is). Clearly worth more than the club is valued at because nobody is paying up, so the bank are being asked to accept a few million in lieu of their big bill. Hmph. They wo...

Yes, land contmination issues makes the stadium site unsuitable for housing. No way anyone is getting planning permission there! Wish people would get off this particular unsubstantiated speculation/scaremongering. It is not going to happen. what about royal elm park development? doesn't seem to be...

Remember thinking he was a real homer in the April game at Bolton, but was a big crowd that day and we did get stuffed! Agree that they will be physical and worry about Kelvin E in these types of games away, seems to shrink. I would like to see Kelvin A at left-back, really hope Mbengue is fully fi...

The planning condition on the training ground could easily be varied, if there was good reason to. All it needs is an application to amend the planning permission, supported by justification. The ground being an asset of community value does offer it an additional layer of protection, but as others ...

Looking forward to this as I missed Saturday and I do love a midweek game to break up the tedium of the working week! Whilst - with our history for generosity in such circumstances - playing a team with zero wins is a bit of a concern, I don't think Orient is a fair comparison. They'd had a tricky s...

Couhig has also signed off by the EFL, we know that, so he/his consortium must have been able to demonstrate they could afford the takeover.

The problem is though picking up further injuries will likely happen and the squad is still very thin on experience.....we had a good run last season injury wise but doesn't mean we will this season and the squad is much smaller. Still think releasing both Mola and Carson was a mistake with NGW als...
