Embarassing Fans

[Hendo]

this is like watching a dribbling competition

Think it's quite apt for the embarrassing fans thread.

First game was Reading-Gillingham back in 2000.

My first was home to Bristol City in 2001.

Sobering thought that there is now a generation of loyal, regualr match going fans (who presumably attend on their own rather than with mummy and daddy ) for whom the Madejski Stadium is the extent of their 'home' matchday experience

No wonder the home game vibe is so appalling, when they only have the Madejski Stadium atmosphere as a reference point. I don't even think Reading supporters are remotely noisy/passionate away from home these days; can recall trips to places like Palace in the 90s and even early 00's when you felt breathless at times joining in with 1,500 noisy, beered up Reading fans for 90 minutes.

I guess the game has changed really, football crowds don't sing anywhere any more. And if you think about it, how ridiculous is it to sing songs in support of a bunch of well-paid grown men you don't know

I've watched Reading home for 14 years and away for 8 (properly for only 3 though to be fair) and can think of two good home atmospheres and three good aways.

Yes will, the game against Derby was it when you told everyone around you that we were staying up and made up a result that you'd "heard on the radio".

Was that Will? If so.....you utter Pillock

Yes, yes it was.

Finger on the pulse there, Floyd.
I'm saying it started when some away ticket prices began starting with a 3.

Only one common factor at those games.

Thought you were the poster formerly known as Willz or whatever your name was?? If I'm wrong, I apologise, but you certainly sound like him.

Will95 would only have been 13 when we played Derby.

[Will95]

Yepp 12 and not there! Only ever gone to Aston Villa away by then!

[Royal Lady]

Well I apologise most profusely - every post you make I've been imagining Willz making it - so I need to get out of that habit - but let that be a warning NEVER to make up a lie at a football match!

That's alright

After the Burnley game and the divs making that up, I'll be sure not to!

Obsessed

Suppose it's my word vs your post count so you'll win every time... But harboring a vendetta for 6 years over a false allegation (how do you suppose I managed to listen to fm radio over your bleating?) puts you squarely in the category of "Embarassing fan" does it not?


I sincerely hope you take this bitterness to your impending grave.

What a charming young man you've turned out to be.... Did you search your name to find these posts?

You most certainly did tell people an incorrect score to make us think we were staying up - I saw you turn around and tell people.

Whatevs - you may have realised by now I don't care!!

Fair play, I'm only a year older than you. I've done 35 in total but only seen RFC play at I think 26 of those grounds. When was your first game?

Well on the way to doing the 92 anyway

First game was Reading-Gillingham back in 2000. Done 49 away, Wembley and home (MadStad) with Reading and England home and Switzerland away with them in September. Not that interesting tbh.

Another one to add to your posse Will
