Dirk Gently Promotion is a possibility. Not a realistic one, but it certainly is a possibility.

Sun TzuVictor MeldrewMid Sussex Royal It could all be worse - one pre season an old chairman (Frank Waller I think) wouldn't shell out £7K for Alan Devonshire from Slough Town - instead he decked out the director's box and re-tarmacked the directors car park.
I suppose everything is relative.
At the current time Dev might be a £7 million footballer and we have just spent £7 million on infrastructure.
Nothing changes much.
That's up there in the RB class of skewing things !
How about ' That tightwad has just blown £40 million on a penthouse flat (with football stadium attached) yet won't even fork out £2 million for Tommy Smith'. He's killing this club.....

rhroyal I don't know why people are surprised by high attendances. We averaged over 17,000 in 04/05. No matter how much the successful times are over now, it was inevitable that 2 years in the Premiership would in fact pull some true fans in. Just because you jump on the bandwagon in the good times, it doesn't mean you'll instantly jump off at the first opportunity.

Excellent point. One of my mates really got into Reading in the first prem season and hasn't missed a home game in 2 years, and has gone to a fair few away ones as well. He's as good a fan as any I know.

If you feel ripped off for us finishing 8th in the Prem then there is no hope for you at all.

Poorly run club, LOL@ the notion we've been well run over the years if we find ourselves heavily in debt and having to sell almost our entire first team squad to survive. When makes it better is we spent the least amount for a promoted team to the prem in the last 10 years or so, tell me how that adds up? WeLOLLOL ROFLun club.
Used to look forward to Reading, simply can't be arsed now. No affiliation to the players, chairman who has asset stripped us, clueless management and one of the grounds with the worst atmospheres in British football.
Rugby league looks a good game, might go and follow that.

We are doing a southampton, bradford and leeds without even investing in the team. how ironic is that? For years RT'Gs would go on about not breaking the bank investing in players. Well, we didn't - yet are are in absolute free fall like those aforementioned clubs, how do you explain that one? We cut the cloth at the expense of most of the quality we had in the squad and as a result we are playing the worst football since the bullivant era and look odds on for relegation. Well run club.
