Turnball ACs
Turnball ACs at your service. My head went totally and I dread to think what I'd have done to the tw*t stewards had they not backed off. I was fuming, that poor kid weas simply being bullied.

Congratulations. It needed to be done and you were the man for it.

On a personal note, as a kid I always dreamed of seeing Reading play in the top flight and for the club to play a major cup tie at Wembley. I will lap up the experience on the day and hope for a committed performance from the players to make us proud.


What does life have left for you now you've achieved this dream?

My biggest disappointment from the game, is that we didn't respond to the Yorkshire chants with our own Berkshire chant.

Would've sounded the same

Better we chanted "One is from Windsor, actually, old chap."

I was practicing quietly to see how it would sound. Decided that a committed chant of "Berkshire! Berkshire! Berkshire!" would be unlikely to catch on. Shame though - out county is nor worse (or better) than theirs.

None of them can hold a candle to Felix Bowness.

NB, the first part of that sentence should in no way be taken as a reference to the Bradford fire.

Didn't we respond to the Yorkshire chants with "Southerners, southerners, southerners" or did I mishear? If so I probably looked a right twat since I joined in.
