Ups and Downs OK, just to clarify; a plastic in this case is someone who only joined up during the latter half of our promotion winning season. A typical plastic is the sort of person who shuffles nervously in their seat and thinks to themselves "At home listening to the radio." when oppostition fans sing "Where were you when you were shit?"
Ordinarily you would also be a plastic if you were over the age of 14 (the age at which it is still just about acceptable to support an unrelated Premiership club) and didn't support the club when they were in the lower leagues, only coming along occasionally when they made it into the Championship, but the rules have been relaxed here.

Ups and DownsbrendywendyAnyone else whose under any doubts of their plasticity want to be judged?
yes, judge me , judge me!
i used to go with my mates to elm park for a few years about 5 games a year, finally culminating in the final season there where i went the majority of the home games and the odd away game
my mates stopped going soon after but in the intervening seasons at the madstad i continued to plough a lonely furrow on my own in the east stand-going to between 5-15 games every year
i felt compelled to buy a 1/2 ST in the championship season, as it was no longer going to be possible to walk up on the day and get a seat due to all the plastics
OK, going to the most of the games in the last season at Elm Park works in your favour. We were utterly dump that year and got relegated. But 5-15 games a year in the following seasons is a bit suspect. However, i don't buy into the glory hunting accuisations because we were f*cking dump then as well, so: NOT PLASTIC

You are 1 of 2 things.
1) A very fine fisherman, showing fishing skills beyond your young age
Or more likely
2) an absolute fcuking retard

Cripple Creek Been a Reading fan for 35 years and if I did not live in Oz would go and watch them just as enthusiastically in the Championship as I would have anywhere else (I left the UK about two weeks before the Premiership started and have never seen a prem match in my life). I just love the team and that's my thing but I have no problem with fans who choose not to stick around - it's a personal thing, live and let live and all that.
In fact, I find people who have a hang up about so-called "plastics" far more irritating in their pomposity than people who started supporting the club once they fancied the idea of watching Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal etc.
People who slag off "plastics" sound like the proverbial Monty Python Four Yorkshiremen IMHO.

Ups and Downs Ha ha! I took my daughter to 6 or 7 games last year and we lost every single one of them. It started as a bit of a joke to begin with but towards the end of the season I was in two minds to take her to the Fulham and Spurs games. I did though and we lost. I blame her too.

RichieBowman What a great topic to have on the website are you plastic!! A number of fans of other clubs are pleased to see us relegated due to having plastic fans and what do we do but have a message board asking people if they are plastic how wonderful. I am sure fans from other clubs will read this and laugh theirs heads off!!! Now that we are relegated if we did have plastic fans they can get lost and return to doing what ever they were doing before. Support the club through thick and thin and not because we were winning championships and being promoted.

RTFC DrummerRoyalshowRTFC Drummer I f you sit in the West, South, middle and corner of north east stand, and the left side of North Stand then you are a PLASTIC FAN.
Thats a nice sweeping generalization by a 'gibbon' that obviously doesn't know a thing about football or being a 'proper supporter'.Having a ghey drum does not make you a "proper fan" nor will it bring you any respect from the rest of the football community.Drums do not equal atmosphere and the sooner you realize that the better.Not everyone that sings at away games sits in y25 btw and its not the holy grail you make it out to be.I'm sure there is quite a spread around the ground,but due to the people they sit with they do not always express themselves as vocally as others.I'm sure some people in the west have had a season ticket since the mad stad opened,but in your eyes that plastic?Fair enough you are not a glory hunter though
Drums at football are GAY
In response to your comment I know a lot about football as I played for many clubs for example Theale Tigers, Prospect Colts, Churchend Rovers and one game for Reading Youth. I played in goal for both Prospect, Churchend and the one game for Reading Youth and then changed to play on pitch up front for prospect, midfield/striker for Theale and defender for Rovers. When did I say a drum makes you a proper fan? Well never so shhhhhhhhhhhhh. I get respect from the players so your wrong again ha ha. Drums do not equal the atmospher but it helps to create one and gets everyone singing to the beat. Its probably the North and East stand fans who go to away games. I believe when you go and see a footy games you should show the passion and desire to get behind the team and not sit down having a picinic (West Stand). If you are just going to sit down and not sing you might aswell watch the game on the internet, on TV or listen to it on the radio. You need to chant and sing like pompey fans as when visiting teams go there they now they are in for a battle as the crowd never stop chanting.
PS To many plastics at Reading and not enough chanting no matter what the score is.
