Roger Smee or John Madejski?

[Ian Royal]

Someone's been on the sauce and made a prat out of themselves.

So who then Ian, Smee or Madejski or better still tell me about what you know or remember about the TVR episode ?

[Pseud O'Nym]

Edited to add: FFS when the site isn't Bowdlerising me, my own bastard spellchecker is!

That would be you.

Given I was 2 I don't recall anything at all from the time the merger went ahead. And given Seahawk is from Seattle and has only been following Reading for about 5 years, it's hardly surprising he's only just picked up on some ancient history.

Wind your neck in, you're looking like a bigger div than SDR, either flavour.

Yes, I look a total prat because I forgot about a game once, well done. Now go away and take your medicine like a good little mental.

Are you thick, Without Smee no Reading football club end of, finito, bye bye, extinct
Christ, simpleton terms are needed for you aren't they

If no Smee, Maxwell would of bought Reading and merged with Oxford, who he owned and he wanted to form the "Thames Valley Royals" like a MK Don's situation. Wimbledon became no more and a fake club took there place.

Leon it's a shame you didn't live through the passion and hate of all this, if you had and were on the marches, perhaps you would of understood why we did what we did and stood up to maxwell

I'd take seahawk more seriously than somebody who doesn't know the difference between "of" and "have".

That's why your known pr1ck on here "spacecruiser" if you only argument is grammer and not able to debate the point

It is really simple though. I mean if someone asked you "have you done such and such?" would you reply "yes, I of" or "no I ofn't"? Of course you wouldn't!

But from a deslix person it's not simple

don't f*cking presume you know anything about me thanks because you know f*ck all - as a teenager in the 1980s I was well aware of what was going on with Maxwell and the tvr.

I found your thread rather nasty and aggressive for no good reason and generally ignorant.

Tamworth is the Ian Harte of this board, senile and being given the run around by the younger and more lucid.

whereas is contrast, Reading were in a pretty healthy position when Madejski took over...

Quite- almost bust again, just like 1931, 1910 to mention but two more. Absolutely fair play to Smee for standing up when he did but SJM tells the story as if RFC in 1990 were again 24 hours from closure and has led us through an era when half the League (it seems) has been in administration).

There is a long line of saviours that have kept us (or our name at least) going since 1871.

[ankeny]

I just spent some time on Reading World watching videos on the history of RFC. In my short time as a Reading fan I thought no other chairman could match the accomplishments of Sir John Madejski.
He was able to finance the building of a new, modern stadium and saw us reach the top flight for the first time. But Roger Smee was instrumental in saving the team from becoming the Thames Valley Royals and saw us win the Simod Cup at Wembley Stadium.

So who would you rate as Reading's best chairman?

Who are you? to even post this thread without even knowing who Roger Smee and how he saved Reading from TVR back in the late 80's apart from a quick google search .
If he hadn't of saved us we would of became Maxwell's "TVR" and believe me Madejski the glory hunter would not of bothered to of got involved.
Thankfully Smee saved Reading Football club's 1871 heritage and it's name which is why you have an interest in this club albeit the Bobby Convey connection.

When Smee spent out on saving Reading Football club from Maxwell preserving it’s name, thankfully at that stage Madejski stepped in but never ever forget the what Smee did for this club and Seahawk

Without Smee NO ReadingFC only Thames Valley Royals and as proved Maxwell one of the richest men in the World in those day’s had the money and bought Derby ( a huge club then ) and fecked it up.

Smee saved the "Reading Football Club" name , the Royals, Hob nob everything we are today,
Not like a "MK Don's" we are still "Reading football club" formed 1871 thanks to Smee and him alone.

Research the history more you pr1ck before posting we "please everyone Madejski is under pressure please vote for him" post and never belittle Smee (Simod) v Madejski (stadium) thread.

Fecking Americans no sense of History because they haven’t any !

Agree 100%,without Roger Smee there would be no Mr Ego

[Riseley]

The Smee camp will be chock full of old boys like me who helped the club in its darkest hour. The Sir Mad camp overloaded with youngsters who only have memories of the souless bowl that carries his name. Perhaps in twenty years wev can have another poll discussing the merits of Lord Mad versus new owner Chinese billionaire Yu Stin Ki Pu.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Would be interesting what the results of this poll will be in a couple of years when we will likely be in league one playing in front of loads of empty plastic seats with 200 away fans and 8000 home.

LOL @ the way this thread turned!!

Or if we're back in the Premier League.
