Re: On this day

And we scored all three goals!! Lucky,lucky Arsenull. Yes I was there in the Town end - great day Think Stuart Morgan headed a superb own goal from a corner for the winner? Was the equaliser Barrie Wagstaff at the Town end ? The other own goal was John Harley Dick Habbin cant remember that - was it...

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

Interesting* thread on how Dai may be absolutely financially screwed: https://twitter.com/mikeygow/status/1750249299739377877 And that this may help the sale as he is likely to need some cash, quickly. There is a negative spin available, that ultimately he won't focus on the sale of a football club...

Re: Away followings

Looked on Transfer Mkt yesterday - we have 5th highest home average 5th highest capacity and 17th in terms of percentage full.

Half the grounds in League 1 cannot accommodate our current home average

We are a big club in L1

Re: MATCHWATCH : MK Dons (h)

Aldershot home or away will do. Glad there are still some on here that remember the rivalry between us and as someone from Yateley who got the train from Sandhurst back in the day, there's some great memories of our meetings. Blimey - I used to do the long walk from Yateley to Sandhust 1971 - 77 pr...

Re: Watney Cup

I was there, having seen my first ever game towards the end of the season before against Luton 0-1. I seem to remember the Watney Cup was a pre season competition for teams who scored the most goals in their respective divisions the season before. Of course Reading went on to be relegated in the upc...

Re: Loyalty Points

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

I think it's worth remembering that in that time our midfield has also been consistently shit offering little protection. Plus Holmes spent much of 20/21 at RB, not CB, and McIntyre has bounced around in and out of the team at CB, LB, LWB and DM. They struggle when they're run at on the break, or b...

As The Dust Settles - The Sombre Thread

Circle of life and all that. Supporter since 1970 - at the Wigan game I wondered if that would be my last ever Championship match as a Royal. We have had a fairly uneventful history since 1920 - and endless time in Div 3 bar a 4 year spell in th 20s in Div 2 then relegation to Div 4 1971 (I think it...

We watch the same match - we see a different game Enjoyed the game, thought we held our own against a better team. Sheffield didn't deserve to lose, we didn't deserve to win. Reckon their manager would've been ok with a point. Got the impression our guys didn't want to be shown up by the oppostion w...

Re: Do you want Ince as our manager next season.

Not for me. Hired to keep us up and will succeed - just, now with the deduction. Big thanks for that well done and thanks for coming out of retirement to help. Generally inexperienced and demonstrated some good characteristics but overall limited, Certainly not up to the job of moving us forward IMO...
