5/2/1972, Reading 1 Arsenal 2 FAC. Is this like the Robin Friday game where more Reading fans than the entire population of the UK claim to have been there to witness that goal, scored before they were born and the subsequent celebration which involved knocking a policeman's helmet off and then mak...
i would say that if we win the toss we chose that way because it has always been done. If the opposition wins the toss it's playing towards their fans in the second half.
IF Dai is serious about selling the club, why would he (or Pang) bother to put in a sell on clause? It would be of no use to him, would it? Sell players on the cheap for just enough to keep the club ticking over and stuff the club is more likely to be in his thoughts.

Interesting* titbit from that there Twitter from last night. A Shrewbury Town Podcast posted that they were aware of a Scandinavian consortium, which includes a number of "ultra high net worth individuals" who have been looking to purchase a L1 club to "invest heavily into". Thi...
Apparently money has been put together for a hotel for this one: https://twitter.com/james_e1871/status/1748042573057245446 I'm assuming the players/staff are paying for it themselves, but that's a positive at least. The last point is worrying if not surprising, no money for the wages or HMRC. Anot...
Statement on club website, Mr Dai has agreed to sell the club at the earliest opportunity and has engaged lawyers to assist in the disposal etc.. Can someone upload the statement? Does this mean he will be selling or is it just another delaying tactic? Has last weeks protest and the following covera...
Can't the EFL give Dai an ultimation? Sell by the end of the season including show you are actively trying to sell or you'll be disqualified from owning reading No, because the Independent Commission decide sanctions. And even if they do, he can just ignore them. And according to him, and Dayong Pa...
I do think it's important that attempted abandonments don't become the 'new tennis balls' default protest, tried at every game now. There's been huge media attention, and it's clear from the EFL statement that they intend to do everything they can to force him out. Further abandonments wouldn't ach...
Judging by the posts on here, it seems as though the protest did get a lot of awareness out there than previous protests have done. One question I have, can the EFL say that at the end of this season the club is expelled from the League, unless the club is sold to another owner? Hopefully they can, ...
Thanks ozzygull, we can only hope our recovery, if we have one, is as spectacular as yours. I enjoy reading your posts, always trying to raise our spirits and encourage us to keep at it.
I just knew you would be the first to repond, with you usual negative view on most (if not all) new threads. There is a perfectly good thread in place about yesterday's protest. You just want attention. I've heard it all now! You calling someone else an attention seeker. Talk about a pot calling a ...
Did this really require a new thread? I just knew you would be the first to repond, with you usual negative view on most (if not all) new threads.

The objective of yesterday's protest was to gain publicity. Did it, in your view work? Where was it "in the news" or where it wasn't. On the plus side on the BBC's website it it on the football section front page with a link to a lengthy article. On the minus side it was not on the Main Ne...
