I was a season ticket holder from 1995 in the South Bank and then East Stand, but emigrated to the US in 2003 and only saw the Ipswich game this season when I was briefly back in Reading so only hear the latest chants when seeing video clips. The "McDermott, he used to manage Slough, he is a Royal now" song is pretty special. I can't quite put my finger on it - partly it's because it's a unique song about our manager (which we never had in the successful days of McGhee, Pardew or Coppell - only the standard "magic hat" songs), and partly because "he is a Royal now" emphasises he's our manager. Fair play to whoever invented it, and hopefully it will be booming loud and clear on Tuesday as we continue this incredible run.
