Re: Looking forward to the 2024-25 season

The only hope I have is having a club that is still alive. With Dai still on the scene, that is not yet a foregone conclusion!

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Yes it was Only once segregation became a thing. I have been to games when the Tilehurst End was the away end (official) and where everyone was just mixed in. Some games the South Bank was pretty much the away end ! In my early days we would swap ends depending upon which way Reading were kicking. ...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Does the Magic Nubber take into account the fact that Burton play Cheltenham and also travel to Fleetwood?

One of the teams in each match must drop two or more points in each match. That means that at least least four points cannot be counted in the overall total left to play for.

Re: Record Watch 23/24

When there were two types of leagues there wasn't any semi professional teams as no player was allowed to be paid in the amateur clubs/league. There were allowed to be paid for "expenses", which I think became such a minefield that Amateur was dropped by the FA and allowed all clubs to pay...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

I don't know about no magic number malarkey. My method is to wait until the end of the season and see where we are in the table. Works every time. Not if points deductions come into play….. I'm not aware of deductions being applied retrospectively after the last game of the season. I hope I'm not w...

Re: Record Watch 23/24

If Leicester were to win all their remaining matches they will equal 106 points. If they were deducted points will they still be equal with us or will they forfeit any claim on the record.

Re: Who do we want to play next season?

I will wait for two things to happen, before I commit to an answer.

The EFL allows us to amass enough points to not be relegated,

The sale to be confirmed and Dai Yongge is a thing of the past.

Green TBF we pass the baton on at that point, albeit we're still invested supporters from the sidelines.

Which group(s) will the baton be passed onto?

Re: Have your go at being ITK

i have it on good authority, (my daughter's husband's, mother-in-law's husband told me) that the Wycombe's owner told a few mates of his in the US that Reading is up for sale and encouraged them to buy it as a bargain price.

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Did Zing pay for his 51% and did he get it back or forfeited it when that share reverted to SJM? It's something I have wondered before but never checked it out.
