Libertine It is just past 4:00 AM here...just got back from Boston. Went to meet a mate of mine, who is from over there but happens to be here on business, and the person who is most responsible for me being a supporter of this great club...and btw he's totally bumming he can't be there right now tossing back pints at the Purple Turtle with you. There were 3 of us planning on meeting up with him on April 21st for drinks to say "hi" while he was here. It had been planned for 4 months and it just happened to be the night that Reading clinched the title. So toasts were raised and I belted out a few hearty "C'MON URZZZZZZZZ" in the bar. The Bostonites didn't know what to make of it but who cares about them.

And we just wanted to make sure you knew we were both there with you in spirit... :wink:



Top work! 8)

I didn't know Will Wheaton was a Reading fan... he's a bit rougher without the make-up artists of TBBT. :wink:

RoyalBlue Maybe they should stick it on display on a separate vehicle leading the parade and then officially present it at the Mad Stad?

I have to say I think that is a very good idea.

An alternative is to hand it over at the start of the parade, with a formal presentation at the stadium. Even that has problems, because the Football League's presentation podium doesn't really lend itself to working in the round. Which is why a presentation in front of just one end in Birmingham would have worked so well.

Looking at the last parade, there would have been 80,000 people who saw the bus go by but didn't get to the stadium. Odds are it will be similar this time, and those people deserve to see the silverware.

And as a complete bonus ending to a great weekend, just found 66 quid in my Skybet account...had genuinely forgotten I had just 3 quid each way on us to win the league at 16/1 back in August! :D :D

Can't imagine how I forgot really after our amazing start to the season...! :oops:
Pays for the inflatables anyway!

royalexile Cracking scenes in the Walkabout. Great rendition of Bill Oddie though no beer was flying around. Amazing.


Walkabout Was amazing. I did get covered in beer and don't remember how I got home.



Missed out on celebrating in 2006 so this was special.
Total takeover of the place, chants drowning out any music from the dj. Hen night party looked pretty bemused - they left sharpish.
Never sung we're the left side, we're the right side of the pub before!
All absolute quality, followed by good night in the Turtle :D

Even English April showers can't quell Jimmy Kebe's elation at Reading's spectacular promotion:

Has been a staple chant of mine since Southampton and was heard a lot in 05/06. Possibly my favourite promotion related chant EVER.
