The main charachter was apparently some well known fan who makes up his own CD's with just him singing on it! Puts the Scorpians to shame....!

Garry Mann United perspective on the A33
I saw the incident at the roundabout as that was where I had arranged to meet my mate. Basically a group of reading fans were giving some young lads some abuse as they walked on the grass bank alongside the road. The abuse was fairly good natured, more like banter in fact. As they got to the roundabout about 20 to 30 men aged about 30-40 offered the young lads (aged no more than 13 to 15) out. They scattered slightlty and very briefly the Reading fans felt really hard. Then this big United fan, much older, steps forward and immediately the Reading fans are down to less than 10 as the rest scarper. He starts slugging it out with the ringleader and all the young lads charge back in and are literally running/dancing around the remaining Reading fans picking them off with single punches. Where the older Reading fans had the weight advantage the youngsters had speed and agility and used it to good effect. The Reading ringleader took a right kicking when he went down.
When the police arrived they said the united fans (now gone) had started it. The copper asked for a description and all they could say was they were wearing black. So if you are reading this unless there is CCTV you have nothing to worry about as I couldn't make out your faces either because it was dark and I also had to keep my wits about me as there were all these youngsters running around and I didn't want to be a red on red victim.
So contrary to what the Reading fans say on there site it was in this case anyway the Reading fans starting on the youngsters. They did though come off much worse.

So hang on a minute, some Reading youngsters, in your own words "giving a bit of banter" and then getting outnumbered and set upon by 20-30 much older United "fans", equates in your world to them starting it does it?
No wonder you live in Kent mate.

No the young lads were the MUFC fans. The 20 odd older blokes were RFC..... or so it is claimed.

Royal Lady Where does the coach come into then?

earley_royals Apparantly there was some abuse being directed at the coach by some Reading fans and something was perhaps thrown at the coach(?). Coach stopped and a few older United got off and started whacking everything insight, pushing people into hedges, etc.
