Coppells parking space

[Elm Park Old Boy]

I'm miles away in London (with kids to look after). But well done to everyone who goes down there. I think this is a fantastic idea.

It makes me proud - in a way one of the most disappointing aspects of this season is the way the Premier League has taken some of the gloss off what felt a unique club. There was a Reading way (dignity, spirit, optimism) that contrasted for example with the shoddiness and lack of class of Mourinho's Chelsea in October 07. We seem to have lost that a bit.

But this is right up there - fans demonstrating to keep the manager after relegation rather than a knee jerk 'Coppell/Board out' response. It's class!

And it's the right thing to do. We'll not get anyone better and the change will destabilise the club too much. I'd rather lose any player than Coppell.

Well done guys - absolutely brilliant!

How many have made it?

250+
Plenty of reporters and cameras......big up to the perpetrators

well done everyone was awesome!
the most frustrating thing when managers have left before was not being able to do anything, at least now we can and have!

That was superb. Well done every single person who showed support to this event. I have a load of photos. Me and AbovetheI were both interviewed for 210FM and 107FM so listen out for any features on there. Not sure which TV crews were there but it was a great effort by all.

[CholseyRoyal]

An incredible effort by all those who attended considering the first post on this thread went out at 17:42 yesterday barely 24 hours before the event!

Fanman, AbovetheI, top nobbing. I could only nip down and leave a shirt with some writing on. Didn't recognise any faces through the masses but what a turn out.

Good stuff. At least he'll know tomorrow just how much we think of him!

Love you all xxx

Back from the post.

Awesome effort and a real feel good factor. You know those times when you do something selfless just to make another person feel good? Stuff that money can't buy.

Just took one of my artwork as I'm sure some better quality pictures will be here very soon.
