Schards#2 Madejski has set out his stall to be a financially viable Championship/Div 1 team. Any success beyond that will be a pleasant surprise to him. If you're happy with that paucity of ambition, good luck to you.

Yeah - damn that Madejski, I wish he had the sort of ambition that Peter Risdale had at Leeds.

Big Foot No one is calling for boom or bust tactics like Leeds had and I'd be the first to speak up if we were paying the like of Seth Johnson £37k a week!
But it doesn't take Carol Vorderman to work out that we've brought in a phenonemal amount of dough since 05/06 - including now as we're in our last season of parachute payments - and where has it been invested ? Nice new media centre which will be great for the local hacks to use when crowds dip below 10k again!!

You know, when people pull off the leeds united comment it proves they don't know much about football.
Leeds were a champions league team who made champions league signings with money they banked on getting by sustaining their status at the top.
However, they somehow got relegated and obviously the debt and money they banked on getting screwed them.
Reading however are plummeting quicker than leeds did and have spent NO MONEY and are nowhere near being in debt, its quite priceless really and rather ironic you use them as an example.

Big Foot I've not heard of any single Reading fan - however long they've been going the match - say "I want us to go on a Man City style spending spree" or similar.
Are you not frustrated with the lack of investment shown?
Does it not get to you that this club has blown the chance we had of establishing ourselves amongst the footballing elite?
We will be lucky to taste the PL again within 5 years under the current ownership.

MeMeMe Mr Mad is clearly peeved at not finding a buyer and is embarking on an asset stripping excercise. Not investing, clearly doing things on the cheap, his cheapness has peeved off Watford and now we have lost Tommy Smith.

Big Foot Those days are long gone at this club I'm afraid
Their attitude towards the fans since we went up has been appalling and the ground and "matchday environment" now is awful![]()
"Please beware of flying footballs"![]()
"Back the boys and make some noise"![]()
Over-zelous stewarding
All round sanitation of the match

Agreed on all counts.
The "Back the boys" scream at the beginning of the 2nd half was a new low point. And those f*cking stewards..........

I am concerned at the lack of investment. However, my problem is with the intense over-reaction that seems to have errupted.
I would love to see Reading in the top flight again, but it is not the be all and end all for me. I would just rather get back to having fun watching football - I long more for the lower league days when us fans had a sense of perspective than I do for the plastic populated prem years.
