weybridgewanderer In all Waitrose or just those in reading I wonder??


I bloody hope it's in every store, there's a Waitrose 5 miles up the road from me in Otley. Whilst my local Morrisons is ok for most things, their slogan for fruit and veg is "Never Knowingly Fresh"

Can't see the problem with Waitrose. As others have said, a decent company with a good reputation. and better than your run of the mill shirt sponsors with the added bonus of the promise of decent food in the concourse. I'd rather spend 4 quid on a decent sandwich than 3 quid on a shitty hot dog.

At least the logo isn't in green. It looks no worse that Westcoast did, or Auto Trader for that matter.

Dissapointed it's still only a six figure sum though.

How do we know the logo's not going to be in green? There's I'd say, and I'm no mathematician, a 50/50 chance that the Waitrose logo may fall into a white hoop, in which case it will be green.

And what the fcuk is wrong with green anyway?

It can't be a 50/50 chance the logo will fall into a white hoop when there are more blue hoops that white. (based on last seasons shirt)

:wink:

Green is, well it's green. It'll look nice on a green and white hooped away kit I guess.

Royalphil What betting a new away strip will be green-ish hoops to match the sponsor colours?


Orange diagonals here we come.



And QPR will still claim to have had them first.

And this is now very confusing - I posted this on the Team borad, now I'm reading it on the Policy board.

Sarah Star Do you think there'll be offers to John Lewis employees to come and support Reading too? I have a friend who works for them who says she might come with me one day, but so far I haven't been able to persuade her.


Very possibly, JLP have a number of really good benefits for their staff.

Stranded Spacey, it's quite clearly a t-shirt.

Unless there are new rules in the CCC that it's shirts v skins next year we're pretty safe on that matter.
