Well, I expected that to be as naff as basically every other song written on the subject of football but I was very pleasantly surprised. You've somehow managed to capture the low-key, self-deprecating nature of Reading FC/Elm Park before the days of Rumblestix, Sea of Scarves and Pizza at half time. You've even got the droning Reading accent down to a tee. Excellent stuff, I'd love for the club to play that before a game but sadly as it contains a light-hearted reference to shooting a Robin there is more chance of Sara Jacob performing a striptease in the centre circle.

Second best ever Reading FC-related song, after this little number: http://www.myspace.com/music/player?sid=18119239&ac=now

Now that would be half-time entertainment worth seeing!

Did you mean to give the B side a plug (it's not bad) or should the link have been this?:

Spoke to BMD last night. He says that if you watch the video or listen to the song, www.soundcloud.com/liamobey/terraces, then he'll make subs to stop our imminent defeat rather than prolong it.

Yeah that was amazing. I remember the bouncewatch in Southbank. My dad was in North stand seats and he watched me go into Tilehurst. I promised I wouldn't go in the Southbank but we always managed to blag our way past that gullible steward on the access gate, managing to get back round to the Spread in time for dad. Those were the days......

liamobey This shameless post is brought to you by my desire to climb the message board so that mine and BenReadingFC's video can get 1000 views within a week. Gawd bless ya, nobbers. (God's not real)

Someone posted it on Dylan Kerr's FB - I was just about to and then spotted she beat me to it!

Thank you again for all your lovely comments. I will be debuting Terraces at 21 South Street on Saturday night, set starts around 830pm if you're up for sitting through my other jovial ditties about Reading life.

Thanks. That's probably my best song. I have a soundcloud page if you'd like to review the others?

sorry mate, not sure how it's supposed to be judged. The singing isn't very good, the guitar isn't great and it's poorly recorded....appreciate it may have been recorded on an iphone etc
