THE PONTIOUS PILATE IN THE LIFE OF BRIAN AWARD FOR MISCONCEIVED INTERACTION WITH A CROWD
Lady Sasima, one of the heads of the Thai consortium that took over Reading last year, had a special gift for the club’s fans before the first home match of the season: a new club song, written by herself! Oh how the crowd’s little faces lit up bright red as ‘They Call us The Royals’ boomed out over the sound system, accompanied on the giant screens by a video so cheesy that fans could have thrown tomatoes at it and called the whole thing a pizza topping. Earnestly the assembled dignitaries urged the home fans to sing along to lyrics such as “doesn’t matter if we learn or win, unstoppably we burn within”, but the only sounds came from the away end, where, as luck would have it, there were more than 4,000 Nasty Leeds fans, who weren’t about to pass up an opportunity to mock the risible antics of another club’s owner. When the anthem finished, Lady Sasima addressed the home crowd but her words could not be heard above the giddy chants of “what the effing hell was that?” or something. Undeterred, one of the other consortium chiefs, Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth, sought to rouse the home faithful by performing a few keepie-uppies on the pitch before booting the ball into the crowd. But he missed. And lo, the scene was perfectly set for a godawful 0-0 draw.

marlowuk Am I alone in feeling uneasy about the derision heaped upon that song by our own supporters as well as others.
