FAO READING FC BOARD AND STEWARDS AND OB!!!

[savage 4 england]

My local West Stand steward was terrible on Sunday, couldn't even get the gate thing hooked on properly. I felt like going down and fixing it on myself as it was irritating me.

You should write to John Madejski about that. DISGRACE.

[Jerry St Clair]

I had a bottle of perfume and a body spray on me,.

Gayer.

ermmm i just wanted to point out.. i noticed how discriminating the club actually is..


Myself and a friend walked around the whole stadium on sunday before game, noticed how many people were being hand searched... bags checked e.t.c

I had a bottle of perfume and a body spray on me, so was panicking having them taken of me as my favourite.. got round to Upper West enterance and not one single steward in site...


Now i know the seats are slightly more expensive and are higher up... but to single us out from everyone else is slightly out of order..

Everyone knows the West Stand is where the quiet, well spoken posh people sit and it's us loud mouth, scum that sit in the East Stand
Kick it out!!

Just before the game the announcer said that it was time for all "Loyal Royals to Stand Up and be counted" - he obviously meant to say "stand up, be counted and then kicked out"

You forgot to read the small print
* sit down and shut the oxf*rd up!

Also, why aren't you allowed to bring bottles with lids on into the stadium, I had two bottles of lucozade with me on sunday and the steward checking my bag to both the lids of which meant I had to drink them straight away.

They do this at alot of stadiums, it's to stop people using a bottle cap (of all things) as a missile.

But surely the actual bottle will be worse. And at half time you can buy bottles with lids on from the places which sell Chips anyway.

You are allowed to at the moment because bottles have not been thrown at the Madejski for the last few seasons. Some were thrown towards the CFC 'fans' and so I was told on Sunday that we are all under the threat of having all bottles decanted into cups rather than just having the tops removed. It is up to us whether we can be trusted or treated like little children, so can I ask those 'hard' people who throw things to think of the rest of us and not throw bottles.

[M4 Junction 11]

Is there any chance that the away fans can be (properly) searched for projectiles?

For the record if the away fans throw stuff at us I don't recommend throwing it back. The way the regime is at Reading F.C. at the moment the penalty for retaliating will be more severe then the original offence.

[Huntley & Palmer]

You should come into the North Stand, no such problems there. Our little area tends to stand quite a lot when any RFC player comes near the 18 yard box

Yes, and the result of that is that height-challenged people miss every bit of action within the goal and its immediate environs.

[Huntley & Palmer]

Not true, we have some altitude challenged people that sit in and around including a large number of kids under the age of 15. All seem to be happy to stand up and adopt the same idea, I sit two from an aisle so block no-one's view. It's easy if everyone co-operates and if someone had a particular problem with it then I would be more than happy to desist.

[Gloria Gooner]

Not blaming you specifically, it's just I think when I sit with Sam1Reed, the angle from the seats to the goal is such that even if I stood up when everybody else does, I would still miss everything. I have missed every goal scored that end by Reading.

[Royal Lady]

You didn't miss any on Saturday, Glo. HTH.

[Gloria Gooner]

I wasn't going to <ahem> mention that!

You missed Doyle's penalty?

so can I ask those 'hard' people who throw things to think of the rest of us and not throw bottles.

Excellent point.

We should chuck coins at them instead.

The tops are removed as if you throw a full bottle without a lid it loses impetus and volume in flight.....
At some grounds [Stoke, Watford etc] I have had bottles removed in toto.

Given that some arses were chucking stuff at Chelsea fans [and it really does not matter whether they started it] it was inevitable that things would be stricter.

Mobile phones are good and solid weapons. And it would allow those rock hard Southerners who like to boast about how well off they are to prove it by wasting large amounts of money on technologically advanced missiles....

No, phones are too light these days. If anyone can get hold of a job lot of 80s originals, bring them along on Boxing Day. They'll really hurt.

And, personally, I'd never dream of chucking anything lower than a £2 coin.

Then they can stop us taking our wallets in

If you put coins in your wallet it's a purse.
