As ever it is down to - particularly at away games - the fans to learn the words and start singing it and KEEP IT UP at every game thereafter for a while so every one cottons on.

I'm sure the club would play it at every home game as well if THE FANS (via STAR) made it known that that is what they wanted.

Will this happen? Probably not as no-one's ever interested in kicking it off on matchdays.....

Absolutely a must.

All these other traditional clubs with apparently amazing support are more then happy to blast out a song before kick off that is song along to.

This has a special place in our hearts now, is a great metaphor for promotion, so why the hell no adopt it. Give it time and fans would pick it up.

And how nice would it be to have Reading fans singing a song for more than one verse and not at breakneck speed!?

This. Would like to watch it but RFC Player makes no sense for me as I'm usually on my phone/iPad with no flash.
Surely someone can just screen record it and upload it to Youtube?

It's ok, but I don't think it really works. It's not in the same league as previous efforts or some of the ones the fans have made. I don't think it's down beat enough to start with given it includes the POF defeat. And it isn't triumphal enough throughout and at the end. I'm not overly keen on the highlight goal clips and all the weird cuts and angles.

Top marks for trying something different. But a mediocre 6/10 for the final product.

The only thing that irritates me about it is the face that I didn't see it as an impossible dream and it disappoints me to think the club and players saw it that way. Even before the Doncaster match my focus was up the table, not down.

Lyrics are in the Special Sensational Super Souvenir Programme (back cover), so I'll be having a go at warbling it also.

It's not bad and has great sentiment, though it does look like it was put together in half an hour by a work experience kid...
