Fan power

[friday fan]

I've followed reading for 45 years now and remember when we had the 3rd and 4th division and looking forward to cup draws to see which big name club we were playing for example the watney Cup game against Man U. when we finally got to the Pemier league I thought never in my day would I see that but I have. What has happened since Sir Steve has left has been disgraceful. You have to think for a minute why did SSC leave, he left because he knew the Chairman wanted to 'cut the cloth' = no transfer funds and selling players. He stayed after premier league relegation because he is an honest man and really thought he could get us up straight away. Sure he made some bad decisions but if he had bought in the Jan transfer window we could have survived but were the funds for his targets really available, I'm sure one day when he decides to write a book we will all know. NOW turning attention to the current situation, take a note out of the disenchanted Man U fans they formed a new club which has done well in the short time they have been in existence. We do have a second club, Reading Town. Lets imagine just for one game, everyone deserts the Royals and attends the Reading Town game, a message will be sent, the gate receipts for Reading Town would be a season boost and perhaps Madjeski might get the message that if he spirals us down to Conference level then Reading Town might be an alternative. A protest day is not a pants day or inflatables or chants it is merely supporting our alternative team ie Reading Town.

I can't believe I wasted a few seconds quickly scanning your post.

I thought this was going to be a thread on different speeds of electrical fans

I thought this thread was going to about us all going eco and using the power from that big fan that does in Green Park.

I think it's safe to say we've both been left feeling very disappointed.

Would you expect disaffected Sheffield Utd fans to go and watch Sheffield Wednesday or vice versa?

[friday fan]

to all who have responded up until now feck off u newbies

[Ferris]

[Focher]

I've no transfer funds and selling players.

So the fact that we've spent the 3rd most in 1 season (apart from our 2 premier League seasons) in the clubs history totally evades your limited mind does it?

[Barry the bird boggler]

Yes

[BR2]

I think your idea might have been more relevant before Monday's game or maybe if we lose to Coventry and don't beat Ipswich.
For the moment there does appear to be a new groundswell of support for the manager and the players because of the effort put in on Monday despite the fact that we lost yet another game.
Let's see what the next couple of weeks' games bring and test the reaction to your suggestion again.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Rodgers in, Madejski out

[Forbury Lion]

I was all set to protest and boo before Mondays game, however I thought we played well. I think I'm just bored with watching Reading play.

I agree - as long as the players continue to give 100% I will support BR and the team. It is not his fault we have sold so many of our PL standard players. I am confident he will get it right given time.

Good luck at Reading Town Friday Fan - we won't miss you.

Well in thought it would be nice to make a change, but in reality it cant work, there are far to many to give you the bulliet to shoot, but when it comes to action your left standing on your own, i think many of us are resigned to fact now that BR aint gunna change the clubs fortunes this season now and league 1 is now a very probable outcome, i am now beging to think that MJ is down sizing his business to sell the club at a lower offer without causing him massive financial losses so a steady decline without lots of cash injection is a controlled way of off loading this investment, so i cant see any large amounts of cash being released in the next transfer window,this in reality can only explain why he got BR when there where better managers jumping to join with a far better pedigree, secretly im looking forward to league 1 footy at this present time we can play there on a level pitch so to speak cos we cant even begin to compete in the Championship without a larger amount of wonga..........but then again perhaps im totaly wrong

Proof length of time as a fan has nothing to do with intelligence or understanding of our club and it's situation.

Get lost.

What a pig-ignorant response.
The bloke was setting the scene of where he has been with our club and how he now feels.
Nothing wrong with that.
