royalp-we Another game goes by where both Tom Holmes and Tom McIntyre look solid and now fully integrated to this team. A team chasing playoffs/promotion, no less.
How good does does it feel to have not one, but two former STH’s line up regularly for us?!
Have we ever had this many true Reading supporters in the line up? In my years supporting I can’t recall many (any).

Sutekh Yes, shame they weren’t up to it playing the likes of Millwall and Wycombe though.

SCIAG Simon Cox and Jake Taylor were playing together for a spell under Adkins. Was Obita also in the side then?
Danny Loader and Jake Cooper were also big Reading fans. Seems like we have some “rule of two” thing going on- Taylor played with Cox, who played with Obita, who played with Cooper, who left before Loader broke through, and Loader and Obita left before McIntyre and Holmes really established themselves.
What about Liam Kelly? I should know, but I don’t think of him as a Reading fan the way I would think of Cooper or Stacey.
Going back a bit, you’d have the likes of Adie Williams and Neil Webb. Lawrie Sanchez maybe? Hayden Mullins came to us fairly late in his career.

Clearly they're determined whereas the rest of us are content to just listen to the radio/watch ifollow because we can't use our ST'sroyalp-we How good does does it feel to have not one, but two former STH’s line up regularly for us?!

That’s just a load of random names of players who might be a bit local ! Obita is from Oxford, Cooper from Ascot, Kelly from Basingstoke and Williams from Bracknell and not sure there was much about them being actual fans. In fact IIRC Adie was a Watford fan.
Webb May have been a genuine fan given the family ties.
Loader never seemed to have much connection, never heard the sort of interviews that the Tom’s give where you can tell they are playing for ‘their’ club.
The Tom’s are proper, been coming to games before they were even linked to the club, fans and don’t think any of the names above were that.
