from Seol's country

[Hup Holland Hup]

Are they actually from these countries or are they exiled royals?

I'm a born and bred Aussie. I did what a lot of Aussies do and travelled to the UK in 1989. Got a job with Foster Wheeler and the rest as they say is history.

Good for you, I'm glad you're a Reading fan. I think a couple of foreign posters on here have actually been to Reading when they were over here for university - I think they are Hup Holland Hup and japanreading. There may be a couple of others who are the same....

Never went to university in Reading but did live and work there for almost 11 years. Great people in a reasonable nice town.

Can't say the two Dutch players employed by the club did too much to enhance the reputation of Dutch football

I'm Swedish and not an Exile. We're a few Royals in Sweden. Not 2 many active here though. C u next week!

After talking with a rather pleasent young lady employed by Reading to renew all world subscriptions, I can confirm that there are more Royals in Finland then any other country (UK excempt).

Have Nokia got business interests in the town?

Oh you Reading fans... I am Korean American and I started to follow Reading ever since Seol got sent there. The thing is, this is the first real year when I'm following professional football (WC fever has turned into full blown footie madness) and out of all the teams I could have got sucked in (i.e. ManYoo-Park Ji Sung, Tottenham-Lee Young Pyo), I'm getting sucked into Reading. This is utter madness, I've never been to Berkshire (i've been to england) all my life, hell I haven't even been to New Maldin. The closest connection to Berkshire I have is I read couple of speeches given by Warren Buffet, the chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. The other connection to Reading is that my buddy's dad comes from Reading Pennsylvannia. I am paranoid all of the sudden for no good reason at all that Reading F.C. will be relegated next season--and even so, I find myself keep getting obsessed over Reading. Why is it that I am obsessing over this guy named Sidwell or some obsure player from Sunderland, neither of whom I have never heard of (or even play) even when I was busy playing Winning Eleven 9? I find that I am obsessing over Majeski (sp?) an obscure businessmen I have never heard of, when everyone around me is following up over that other businessman in New York, George Steinbrenner.

I'm starting to daydream that this guy named Oser, whom I have never heard of before looking him up on Wiki yesterday, he would suddenly turn into Wayne Rooney.

Something about Reading reminds me of the Korean National Team. Reading F.C. has a very old history (i guess all your english football clubs do) and KNT has a long history considering Asia. Both never had shining moments, but the sudden spot light is very exciting.

My brain tells me upsets are almost nil-possible, but I find that I'm fantasizing about Reading at UEFA and beating Inter.

When will my madness end??? Good luck to all you loyal Reading fans, and whatever happens, I hope we all can see some good football (soccer to me). I have my fingers crossed that Seol will become the 20 goals scoring Seol at Anderlecht instead of the 4 goals scoring Seol at Wolverhampton.

Yep - I think you got it bad!

Welcome to being a royal.... it's character building!

Hi, another Korean fan here. I like to have a conversation about football with other fans. Seol joining Reading means that we Koreans are near guaranteed all Reading games live on TV. It will be great to talk about Reading matches with fans from Reading!

I became aware of this site because some Korean media quoted some fans' reaction to Seol's transfer on this site. Korean journalists keep an eye on this site, so watch out your language.

[moongirls]

'Seol' is not a common surname in Korea, so actually Seol Ki-Hyun is a kind of relative to me - He doesn't know me, though.

I'm so delighted to see a jersey which has my name on the back side in the one of the greatest leagues in the world. I'm definitely gonna buy it if I can buy it in Korea. Actually, I've just come back from England and I think I should have bought it there... How stupid I am!

Anyway, I do hope Reading can get a really good result in this season - at least, getting to European Cup next season!

[Forbury Lion]

Is this guy genuine?

He's posting from a South Korean ip address.

[Forbury Lion]

Have any of you South Korean's heard of a player called Jamie Cureton?

[Bucks Dave]

So the Korean media keep a watch on this site as well as Korean football fans, eh?

Well, in that case I would just like to say that I am old enough to have thoroughly enjoyed the 1966 World Cup and I remember the tremendous popularity here (especially in North East England) of North Korea.

Oh, hang on......

I'm also young enough to go quiet at the thought of moongirls pleasure at seeing her name on a players backside.

I live in London me, which isn't very interesting. But it does occur to me that if pretty much every Reading game is going to be shown in Korea next season then that makes it very likely that they'll find their way onto the likes of ppStream or SopCast..... bonus.

I'm Swedish and not an Exile. We're a few Royals in Sweden. Not 2 many active here though. C u next week!

After talking with a rather pleasent young lady employed by Reading to renew all world subscriptions, I can confirm that there are more Royals in Finland then any other country (UK excempt).

Have Nokia got business interests in the town?

Is this because (with the exception of 2004/2005) we always Finnish strongly??

Wow, welcome to all the new Korean members. It's nice to see that not only is Reading FC getting international recognition, but so is HNA?!

We're going to have to watch the xenophobia with so many yanks and Koreans joining us. - Spacey, behave! - Sounds like in Seol we now have 3 or 4 wingers capable of terrorising defences and banging in the goals. With Kitson, Lita, Doyle, Long and Cox to add to that tally I hav no worries about our ability to score.

The only question mark to remain is our ability to not concede, and our defence has been one of our strongest attributes for several years now which bodes well.

Isn't this exciting, only 12 days to go and I may even manage to get hold of a ticket! I'm getting really nervous now.

[Arch]

Actually, despite Koreans, Yanks and feyenoord fans in plenty this week the xenophobes have been conspicuous by their absence. Always the way isn't it. Plenty of mouth when they are a safe majority, but get too many oppo around and they run like SROT.
