Re: why don't more people from Ethnic Minorities support Reading?

Asians generally prefer cricket. I see a few at home games though.

Many fans just support a club who their parents took them to when they were kids. Not many first generation immigrants like football generally. That's my hunch anyway.

Re: Predictions for this weekend

ILoveMoonPig I'm really not feeling hopeful ahead of this at all. I can either see Orient going 1-0 up early on and us just playing out a dull draw with a resigned but satisfied crowd, or I can see Orient drawing and us losing 1-0 late on.


That'd be such a Reading FC thing to do

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

PieEater Post match we headed down to King St, a night out in Bristol is so much better than Reading.


Probably far less chavs as well

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

8) Looking forward to Burnley v2 where we beat Barnsley and word spreads that Orient have drawn to Huddersfield, only to find out after the pitch invasion that they scored a last minute winner. We should never ever be having a pitch invasion for making the playoffs. That's a very tinpot thing to do,...

Should be announced within a few days. Couhig's team are flying in this week. Waited 4 years until this day! Wanted Dai out for so long. https://media.tenor.com/Jw__TQchV5gAAAAC/fingers-crossed.gif The stadium will be rocking on Saturday if it is done. Regardless of what happens on the pitch and le...

Re: Opposition fans back from the game - 24/25 page 225 onwards

Aging fan base? That’s a new one on me! True dinosaurs, then. Shame, I always found Rovers fans to be more grounded and approachable than the City lot who, even thirty years ago, were obsessed with the notion their club was a sleeping giant that was just a couple of signings away from top flight fo...

Re: Promotion thread 2024/25

If we do indeed miss out on the playoffs I hope the players get a huge number of fans stay at the end for the lap of honour. The players have done a terrific job to take it to the wire. Whilst disappointing of course, Noel Hunt has done a decent job making them tighten up away from home which was a ...

Apparently Couhig is on BA224 flight from New Orleans to Heathrow later. Anyone fancy being the new bush watch person tomorrow? :? Is there actually any reason for him to be flying in - this just feels like a Twitter rumour to me. If the deal is done bar signatures, it will be with the lawyers and ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bristol Rovers (a)

This will be an interesting one. Bristol Rovers need 3 points so will have to come at us and that could play into our hands. As long as our defence holds firm I fancy us to pick them off.

Extended-Phenotype Anyone else remotely concerned that if we do secure a top 6 finish, Dai will drag this out further to see if we get promoted?


Yes I think that's his intention

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

Blackpool weren't that great. It was just a typical midweek away performance from us. Did you travel from Cambridge? Any of the 270 away fans could see we weren't really in the contest at all Anyone with any sort of decent view of the game and half a brain, whether there or watching remotely, could...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

Whatever socialist or marxist views if we do get taken over and survive we are a big pull for this league and want the club to survive.

If we do survive and get taken over we should be aiming for promotion as one of the top clubs in the league

It's because Blackpool are defending exceptionally well. No it's not it's because lefties don't know what they're talking about when they're not at the game and are armchair bores.
