perhaps fans should let Mr Doyle know what they really think of him, and his methods! clive.doyle@btinternet.com

Clive Doyle was (er, apparently) knocking away fans up and down the Tilehurst Road for years during the 70s and 80s, so he's got a fucking nerve reprimanding some fleece wearing gimpton for standing up and singing blue army.

Melonhead's response seems fair to me

If you are standing and not interfering with anyone's view then everyone's happy
If the person behind me was sitting i would check with them and sit down if obscuring their view

In Y25/26 those who stand are not bothered by the stewards (these days) presumably because noone else is complaining.

If someone complains you don't have a leg to stand on!

[WoodleyRoyal]

if you cant stand for 90 minutes don't go to football.

[WoodleyRoyal]

the seats are only there for punts who like to drink magma hot bovril at half time and to read their f*cking programme

[bcubed]

not sure of your point in relation to the rest of the thread but what about old people? Dont let them in if they havent got the stamina to stand?

Is it half term?

So anybody with a bad back should not go to football?

There's a difference between being paid to do it and doing it on an amateur basis.
I may be due a whoosh, but Mr Doyle is a retired senior police officer who for many years was the TVP Match Commander for Reading games and presumably was a PC in the good old days of free form football violence.

[Hoop Blah]

Think there's a difference in the Clive's there as well.

Clive Doyle is the Safety Office and not the same as Clive 'Big Clive' Goddard.

Yeah! And what the fcuk with all the wheelchairs? Ramps everywhere, holding everyone up, taking up too much space. Fcuks sake, it's not like they even understand what is going on - just leave em at home, save the money and everyone else the hassle.

As you were.

And what about the little kids (and anyone vertically challenged) who can't see even if they do stand up?

The kids should be out playing football and the vertically challenged should be travelling with the circus freak show where they belong.

[Mr.Swainey]

Our support hasn't been the same since LWJ viciously attacked that steward.

Club apology to two supporters

Statement following full review

Following the ejection of two supporters from the Y19 section of Madejski Stadium last Saturday, Ray Booth, Stadium Manager, and Jackie Evans, HR & Customer Service Manager/ Supporter Liaison Officer, carried out a full review of the circumstances surrounding the course of action that was taken that afternoon. Although there was evidence of foul language being used, it was not to such an extent that would normally result in supporters being asked to leave.

Ray and Jackie personally met the two supporters this evening and apologised for the wrong course of action being taken on the club’s part. Accepting the apology, the supporters have in turn asked that we pass on their apologies to anyone within that area of the stadium whom they may have offended with the use of their language.

We look forward to hearing the two fans cheering the players on at Madejski Stadium in the future and we have also invited them to be part of a continual review of our matchday procedures. We are pleased that STAR, Supporters Trust at Reading, have also agreed to play a part in the review.

As we said in our previous statement on Monday, we actually hope that Saturday’s course of events act as a catalyst for more noise at Madejski Stadium. We all want to lift the atmosphere at home and when fans get on their feet and encourage those around them, it really makes such a difference. Ultimately, we truly believe our fans can use Saturday as the springboard for something special.

Big Clive retired from stewarding years ago after he broke his leg.

Play group doesn't have a half term but they do get out early and have time on their hands.

Good evening Herr Goebbels and welcome to the 21st century.
