Stuka then Mr. Zorbas for chips.

Perhaps that's why so many fights are spawned outside - by flying grub

I sometimes pop into the Nags before the game, out of interest how much is the bus ticket, and where is the pickup point from the stadium?

9:15: Take sons to Taekwondo
10:30: Take sons to tennis
12:00: Take sons for swimming lessons
13:30: Do lunch for sons
14:00: Do homework with eldest son (7)
14:45: Take sons to park/parties etc
15:00 - 17:00 : try and catch snippets on Reading player, wish I lived near enough to Reading to get Radio Berks as player is rubbish, get bollocked for looking at phone too much. Try not to resent children whilst looking back with fondness to my old season ticket.
Rest of night: Wish my sons showed some interest in football as agreement is for whole family to have season tickets once more once they actually give a shit.

It's that or not see my sons on one of the only 2 days I get quality time with them. Please let them start to like football as I won't give that up regularly despite my protestations.

Catch the plane from Amsterdam Schiphol, arrive in Reading via Heathrow T5 Heathrow-Reading raillink coach. Bite to eat with my folks, jump on the bike and cycle to the ground about 30 mins away, watch Reading win/lose/draw, cycle back, and if I don't stay in Reading the weekend, lift back to Heathrow and back in Holland before it gets too dark. Not so simples.

Betfair accumulator, coffee, stick the kids in front of some crap film, pack the missus off into town to spend my money, follow via radio/twitter/SSN as don't live anywhere near Reading anymore.

Last away game I got to was Blackpool two years ago. Driving back to Chester I stopped somewhere near Preston Brook and inexplicably threw up all over the car park of the Spar. I suspect it was a heady combo of shit coffee and a Balti pie I had at the ground.

bobby1413 Sounds good. Would the whole pub stop in disgust if I went in and ordered lager?


I think you'd be alright, I was even with someone who ordered a bottle of Corona in there once.

I tend to stick to the Stowfy P when I'm in the Nags, although it's been a while.

Notice we are playing at home.

Avoid going into Reading.

Check score throughout the day.

Celebrate if we are winning/get grumpy if we aren't.

Yes every home game bar a few (plus the odd Play off Final)- I missed about 4 home games last year.
