RG30 Stockport (A) rearranged for Tuesday, 29th October.


Isn't October ludicrously packed full of games?

Yes, 8 games (7 league, 1 BSM cup) in 29 days - 1 game roughly every 3.5 days or so:

01 - Burton (h)
05 - Rotherham (a)
08 - Cheltenham (a)
12 - Barnsley (a)
19 - Crawley (h)
22 - Exeter (a)
26 - Bristol R (h)
29 - Stockport (a)

That lot is followed by the FA Cup 1st round on the weekend of 1/2/3/4 November before a trip to the Lamex on 9th.

Note though that it is highly likely that the Barnsley game will be postponed for more international drivel. Which will mean another dreadful Tuesday/Wednesday night trip to Yorkshire at some point.

Really glad the games come thick and fast just as the entire club feels empty and doomed

Barnsley moved.

Actually back in UK for Exeter (a). Stockport (a) sadly too deep into the week to attend.

Anyone know if tonight's game at Stockport is on the red button?

Thanks. I was being lazy, on the (correct) assumption someone here would already know.

On the Reading FC YouTube channel, I noticed they posted an Access All Areas video for the Crawley game yesterday, even though we'd obviously already played twice since that game.

First one they've posted this season though, anyone know why they stopped doing them? I've been meaning to ask on here as I really enjoyed those last season.

Also we used to get a post match interview with the manager and usually one with one of the players as well. Be nice to see them back as they were a good little insight and helped the connection with the fans.

Not a lot of point in including a post match interview if they’re going to wait 2 weeks to post the item on the OS though.

Last season the post match interviews would usually be on the Youtube channel within an hour or two of full time. Even before the match highlights which for some reason they don't seem to put on there till after midnight. Access All Areas videos would usually be posted sometime the next day.

Dunno about best, but about £10 for a match pass on Royals TV unless something has changed.

Just signed in from sunny Rehovot.

on another note

01 - Burton (h) W
05 - Rotherham (a) L
08 - Cheltenham (a) PP
12 - Barnsley (a) PP
19 - Crawley (h) W
22 - Exeter (a) W
26 - Bristol R (h) W
29 - Stockport (a) tonight

which makes November ... 7 games

02 Fleetwood (h) FAC
05 Cheltenham (a) EFLT
09 Stevenage (a)
12 Newport (h) EFLT
16 Shrewsbury (h) - likely rearranged
23 Peterboro' (a)
26 - Barnsley (a)

Guess it will end up less onerous as the two EFL Trophy games will likely be weaker squads.

No Surprise that home games against Wrexham in January and Birmingham in February are 12.30pm KO’s
Wrexham date is FA Cup 3rd round so could get postponed.

No surprise but it'll kill the attendances, might be more away fans than home!

Plus I hate 12:30 KOs

Should imagine both away fans will sell out, but reckon minimum of 12,000 to 13,000 will attend.

Royals and Racers Wrexham date is FA Cup 3rd round so could get postponed.


I'd convinced myself this was the preceding Saturday, considering our 2nd round draw this is very likely* to be postponed, seems like a crazy choice

I thought that was the case too, as it's usually the first weekend of January. Seems not to be the case this year though: https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/round-dates

Round Four is also a week later than it usually is. Perhaps an effect of not having to worry about replays?
