You could still go along and support your local non-league team aswell I would have thought when RFC don't have a game.

It is not as if you would be going to watch another league team. In a similar way I occasionally go and watch Colwyn Bay games in the Unibond...

that was always my logic as I settled into my seat at the Kassam...

Good to know that Wantage people might be going to Reading these days. When I was growing up there as a boy there were about three of us Reading fans while everyone else went to Swindon or Oxford (who were fairly new to the Football League then).
I got a lot of stick at school in those days as we were a poor team and Swindon and Oxford were having their moments of relative glory.
I guess I'm laughing now.
