My diehard Charlton mate had never heard of Leo Rifkin, if he was a dodgy shyster who was involved during their protracted takeover I think he'd be more well known. So I'll take that as a positive.

I was worried before the game about meeting a form team, but they clearly get results by being utter cheating oxf*rd. They gamed everything to their advantage and the weak ref fell for it every time. The whole team were are a bunch of cheats that sadly proper as a result. Not only that but they also...

He got another drop ball correct and I can only assume people don't know the rules about drop balls since they changed. What is the latest rule? I thought it was still the last team that touched the ball when play was stopped got the drop ball. He pulled it back to where the player was down - which...

I am hugely encouraged to have a goal keeper that actually makes saves. It's like something completely unexpected.

Definitely a sell out, IN @10am Tues

WE HAVE EXCLUSIVITY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I repeat THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Amazing. Lots of distance to run, Dai is a cnut, all the usual disclaimers. But this is bloody excellent news! Especially that the training ground is part of the package, that is a big commitment, especially in League One. It's...

The last time I was at Bolton, Amir Khan was in an box above us with his mates. I think Khan tried some banter behind the windows but I can't recall what. I dont' remember much about the game except for the waving of huge flags when they scored.

My ITK attempt. All bidders back off after getting pissed off by Dai and wait for our liquidation. When Dai can't pay the bills next month we get liquidated and call in the administrators. They sell to one of the consortiums for half what they offered Dai, but we are relegated following the points d...

I still think those rumours were deliberately put out by the club to stop and fan protest at the last game, following the scandalous sale of the training ground.

What’s going on? Mate just said SJM has been on Sky saying we’re about to go under and STAR have just sent an email about the March funding shortfall. Have talks fallen through? Tweet not email. I would imagine he's yanking your chain a bit on the first one. Having seen the STAR tweet it is just an...

Snowflake Royal

Greatwesternline

Snowflake Royal iirc it won an award not long after completion

Best mid-sized European sports Arena as awarded by ESPN US if I remember correctly.

That's the chappie

It's quite unusual in that the outside and concourse are above the pitch, so disabled fans can get in and be at a level to get a decent view.

Some are talking about Bearwood and the Academy being too expensive in L1 but I disagree. Surely the Academy can be a very profitable entity if you have owners with money. If it’s profitable why would you need owners with money to keep it afloat The problem is an academy is profitable based on club...

Don't worry about Reading
cos every little thing is gonna be alright

I know I should be skeptical, but this does feel like the one. Not much room for Dai to move the goalposts as the stadium needs a club with it. It seems like Pang and Dai are involved given the training ground sale, plus I trust Earnshaw not to report it without covering off this point. The main bl...

People have been crying out for us to be sustainable. Now a potential buyer is trying to buy us in a form with affordable costs, everyone is questioning it. If you buy Reading with Bearwood and everything, you need to stabilise as a Championship club quickly to make sense. Do we want owners who mak...

Reading are in advanced talks with a North American group to buy the club, Sky Sports News understands. The prospective deal would see the club change hands and their ground – Select Car Leasing Stadium – would also be sold. Just goes to show what an utter disgrace Dai is, if a deal to buy the club...

Wigan sold the training ground they bought from Bolton to Preston when they were in the poo, they still got a buyer. The club statement yesterday stating there will be an announcement in due course about alternative training arrangements, whether that`s BS on their part to take the heat out of the ...

Can someone from SBWD or STAR let us know what is going to happen to funds raised "to save the club" this month or to "pay for a staff party" before Christmas? It is not needed by the club now, so will the donors be reimbursed? They could offer to use the cash to hire portaloos ...

Mid Sussex Royal We trained in Prospect Park well into the 1980's

Football was a different game then than it is now, with Sports Science, nutrition, better levels of fitness, and better tactics. Trying to do that on a park pitch is a big ask.

Where exactly do they think Reading are going to training after it's sold? There's clearly no plan at present. Other than renting our facilities back off them all the alternatives are pretty dire for a professional team.
