Get Reading Reading’s official website ran a feature to allow fans to vote for an official anthem at the beginning of the campaign.
The Proclaimers’ ‘I’m gonna be (500 miles)’ came out top from a list of 10 contenders.
However, the song never caught on and it has now been binned from the club’s pre-match routine at Madejski Stadium.
They hardly gave it a chance to be fair. They played it once, not very loud and at about 2pm. The stadium was half empty and most people didn't even hear it. Even a lot of those that knew it was going to be played missed it. However it was and is a rubbish song and I for one am glad that it failed.
