Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

An opportunity for the EFL to reassure the fans, confirm there is a buyer and clarify how far along the deal is, wasted. Still no evidence the “other man” is Robert Platek, leaving only Twitter rumours and copypasta journalism as the source of this name, and we have heard nothing of any progress si...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

The club aren't going to name him when he's in exclusivity are they?

Not sure what other 'evidence' is realistic beyond being named in the media.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wrexham (h)

Disagree. We decided to switch who tactics and therefore who would take the kick. You see it happen in pretty much every game of football involving every team and in most cases it is not being done to waste time. We had no need to waste time at that point as we were giving as good as we got and loo...

Re: CONFIMRED - This might be it!!

The title of this thread might need to be changed to something less positive again. Someone on x has found out that the satisfaction of the charges regarding the shares of the club and Bearwood etc from Couhig and co have been removed from the register. Not really sure what this means for the sale ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Birmingham City (h)

Actually quite looking forward to this one, Reading do have a habit of turning up against 'better' oppoistion when you least expect it, recent examples being Burnley and Pompey last season. Plus actually don't mind the 12.30pm kick off this time, as means I can get back into town in time for the rug...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Rotherham United (h)

Not if they are required to be identifiable to the opposition, which is what I believe the law is intended to deal with. Again, it’s lack of clarity in the law. Us guessing on work arounds when we don’t know what the law is doesn’t help. If the law is ambiguous its not enforceable. If it doesn't sp...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (h)

I really don't think our attendances are that bad. 11k isn't far below this or last season's average. It's not far off the level we got last time we were here and a lot more than we often got historically at this level. We may have got a lot more relatively ,recently, but that's in a higher divisio...

Re: Craig to Stevenage

Don’t think there was likely a fire sale - more just the sale of a couple of our best players. Still think Bindon and Garcia won’t be with us after 3rd Twitter convinced itself that there would be a fire sale, based on nothing - I suspect it was more certain characters trying to wind up people into...

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

Out of interest, what is it about the early kick off you don't like? Back in the day - I loved the couple of hours I'd have with my mates in the Nags before the bus took us to the game. But one by one they all 'got busy' and didn't have time for it - so I started driving up myself. Today a lunch ti...

Re: Away form

Yes, we certainly do seem to be being funded by someone at the moment (and we all know who that isn't!).
Does suggest that something is in the works, but refusing to get my hopes up just yet.

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

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

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

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...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

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...
