, and given how many fans they had pre Christmas of their promotion year,

Sadly, there is some truth in that.

There is a difference between the number of fans who follow the club and the number of STH holders. Plenty of existing fans who didn't go that often will have made much more of an effort under the circumstances. Yes there will have been plenty of new fans, but that doesn't mean all of them were. I'd hazard a guess that the majority were either fans of a premier league team or had no elligiance.

No real Oxford fans would come support Reading afterall. So if no real Oxford fan would have come over to us this means Oxford want exactly the same sort of plastic they are accusing us of attracting, so being hypocritical. Not only that, but they essentially want glory hunters for conference mediocrity. Can't see that happening.

Being a little more reserved doesn't make us passionless, or plastic.

It's a bit of a clue though isn't it Sherlock.

Strangely, when Reading went up I attended a few more Oxford games.

i would say the majority supported reading, its just that previous to that we didnt need to get a season ticket as you could walk up and get tickets on the day.

No.
Passionless may = quiet/reserved
quiet/reserved =/= passionless

In the same way that all kings are men, doesn't mean that all men are kings.

Ah yes, Finerain. The sectarian thick racist that went to the US. What a miss.

B) is also wrong. Madejski isn't looking to jump ship. If he was he would easily have found a buyer at a reasonable price and got shot. He is looking to move the club onto the next level, which he can't or won't sustain on his own fortune. But that doesn't mean he'll leave us completely. He has also publicly stated, and all his actions over the years suggest he's telling the truth, that he'll only sell to the right person. Someone who has the best interests of the club and community at heart.

If the right person(s) don't come along he'll still be with us in another 5 or 10 years time. Maybe having stepped down for one of his daughters.

One thing you can be sure of is with him in Charge we won't end up owned by a dirty cock like Shinawatra in charge. Or Ken Bates. For which I'm eternally grateful.

This aged well...
