Sutekh The writing was on one side and it was blank on the other. Fans were holding up either side rather than all the same side, that and the poor attendance didn't really make the most of things but no doubt they'll try again v Crawley (who play in red usually) on the 19th.


Indeed

Underwhelming from where I sat

Unsurprisingly small bits of paper/plastic didn't look good in a half empty stadium.

Fair enough for trying something, and it probably wasn't less effective than anything more visilually striking, because I don't see anything being effective.

Maybe an organised social media bombardment to get Reading FC trending globally at a time where the target audience will take note, if that's China then the time difference needs to be taken into account.

It just needs fans to all post tweets on Twitter/X at the same time every day with the same hashtag, It won't cost anything and all fans can get involved if they have the internet.

I mean, Twitter is banned in China, so probably not the best idea.

Not if you have a VPN, or buy your Chinese SIM before arriving in China via the Nomad App :wink:

Even if it wasn't the Chinese would give as much of a shit about RFC as we gave about Renhe

Love to have Benny Hill run onto the pitch as a protest and then get chased around the pitch in speeded up slow motion by stewards, police officers, players, nurses, strippers, an old man waving a walking stick, the PA announcer, A bald man, Morris Dancers, a bird watcher, a group of marathon runners, some racially inappropriate stereotype characters, a vicar, a northerner with a flat cap and a whippet, a blind person with a guide dog (maybe going off in the wrong direction for comic effect) etc etc.

Not sure I fully understand how the other assets play a part in all this but couldn’t the protests target the car park or hotel rather than the games?

May as well target Costco or B&Q as Dai doesn’t own the hotel or car park.

Ah. Well, where did all the beef come from regarding the car park (with the Reading saga it’s difficult follow what is fact and fiction, considering the former is often stranger than the latter).

I imagine some of the potential buyers see the carpark as an asset upon which they can build something, make bucket loads of money and then sell off what's left of the actual football club, not realising that the former Thai owners did just this but presumably playing the long game waiting until the economy picks up and the things they build will actually make money rather than build it now and have it just cost the money.

I could imagine there being all sorts of complications around access rights - hotel users have to access via car park owned land, club needs use of the car park, hotel shares facilities with the club etc etc etc. depending on who owns what the Thai’s may have a ransom over both club and hotel in terms of access.
