earleyroyal There was a small minority of fat, bald foul-mouthed bitter old men and young chavs trying to look hard by telling a group of about 4 Reading fans to oxf*rd off from a safe distance in a large crowd, as usual with almost any club including ours. There were also a lot of knowledgeable, friendly and good-humoured people - would we have sold out every home game despite being stuffed in our first Prem season, and gone down laughing? I doubt it - their celebrations on winning a corner made me laugh, and although the taunting when Fulham scored was unnecessary and infantile, so is most of the stuff that gets thrown between fans. We sung 'how shit must you be', 'worst team in history' and so on, why shouldn't they laugh when we're doing badly?
In short it was a normal game with normal fans, just because of the higher stakes for us and frustration from Derby fans at their team's crap performances boiling over that it looked worse.

biscuitsrus Derby fans were very poor. It is funny that they were awarded "player of the season" says it all really. Shit fans, worse team!
I heard many pundits bigging Derby fans up this season but I was very disappointed with the lack of atmosphere that they generated.
I too spoke to some nice individuals outside the ground and in the pub which makes up for it somewhat but collectively a poor crowd.

willz_royal Never in my (admittedly short) lifetime have i witnessed such a rude, obnoxious, basically horrible bunch of fans. They should be ashamed, but chances are they arn't. The amount of abuse flung at us was incredible when fulham scored. If they had put that much effort into supporting, maybe they would fair better on the park.

Nothing like a good pot kettle and black statement.

I seem to remember the Reading Faithful informing Wolves fans of a certain football score that was crucial to them and which was going against them during a game at Elm Park some time back.

Barnsley springs to mind - think it might have been the 96/97 season during the 2-1 home victory where Archie scored his late double.
