To be fair, the "Barry Horns" wanted something that would work well for a brass section. The Ghostbusters theme is very brass oriented, popular, and catchy. It works well for them, but it'll never do for Reading fans.

Bond made his debut today for Gillingham, away at Shrewsbury. BBC website credits him with making 2 excellent saves in the first half, to keep Gillingham in the game after they went 2-0 down. They came back to win 2-3.

Rob Dickie scored the opener at Cheltenham, as they beat CRewe 2-0.

If it's anything better than a 3-0 defeat, I'll be happy.
Ameobi hat-trick. (Oh, sorry, I'll get back in my time machine).

Yes but unless its second hand or the company have some kind of testing process that means they make a pot of tea in every pot before selling them then their opinion would suggest that is not a teapot.. Thusly I suggest its impossible for them to buy a teapot. So when you buy fireworks, do you insi...

Reading to Basingstoke electrification is part of the Electric Spine project.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Spine
Whilst it is supposed to be completed by 2019, there is no plan in place to achieve this.

Royality creeps In I am guessing you are middle aged, live with your mum and own an anorak

Yes, No, No.
Recently retired after a long career in the rail industry, and still keep my ear to the ground.

Of the trains used on the Reading to Basingstoke line, the stopping services are worked by Diesel Hydraulic multiple units (class 150) whereas the non-stop Cross Country services are worked by "Voyager" class 220/221 diesel-electric multiple units. Originally it was planned for Reading - B...

The interview on YouTube was interesting in that it made reference to Al Habsi but none whatsoever to Bond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XncfJNEo4P4 Around 2:23, the interviewer refers to him "..providing healthy competition with Ali Al Habsi, who has been the Number 1 last season. Hopefully...

It is traditional to greet a new poster with a shower of abuse, but in light of the exceptional thought and effort you have put in, can I say "Welcome", and I hope you take the time to post again in future.

I cheered when Piazon was substituted, thinking that Ola John would be an improvement. He wasn't. He seems to be a one-trick pony. He can do a mazy run then take on three men (and lose possession every time). What he can't do is a much longer list, but it includes marking opponents, tackling, and lo...

1) Dellor is entirely correct in his justified criticism of Vydra. 2) I really don't care if Vydra is mentally shot. He needs to be kept well away from the rest of the squad until his loan expires. Then pat him on the head, ruffle his hair, and point him in the direction of Watford. 3) I like Dellor...

Some nice interviews with both Gary Johnson and Rob Dickie on their website.

Jem - argument could be made for Jem but we have more than capable replacements in CM position. Jem has been found to be less than effective in Turkey. Galatasaray have shipped him out to Bursaspor on loan. His departure from Reading was an emotional wrench because he had been around for so long, b...
