Snowflake Royal ST: Les Ferdinand (Yakubu, Long, Dixon?)

Sean Goater..... He has a day named after him for Goats sake!
Robin Friday - has a book written about him

Snowflake Royal

Crusader Royal Fran Kirby, Mary Earps and Farah Williams must be considerations

Women's team would really be a separate conversation to the men's team.

Doesn't need to be considering it would literally be those three names. Waste of a new thread.

Daley Thompson (reserves)
Sir Matt Busby (played for Reading as a guest during WW2)
George Best (1984 friendly, Reading v New Zealand)
Tommy Burns (played in the reserves due to a shortage of available players)

There's believed to be a bid on the table from a consortium of former players; assume Smee still around as who else has the money/financial contacts who played for us? Let's wait and see if they pass the medical, we don't want to get a new owner with a dodgy hip :roll: Wasn't the hip injury a firew...

Not ideal, but maybe better than a 3pm KO You could always take her for valentines, kill two birds with one stone so to speak No chance, I go there for peace and quiet not to...

If the allegation proves to be true would that make any difference?.... I'm guessing if it was true he wasn't very good at it to have only got as far as league one.

I always liked Hughesy and thought he did well when he played left-back for a few games. His problem was that he was a decent all-rounder but not outstanding in one position, so got shifted all over the place to cover. I was pretty young at the time, but I seem to remember he was one of the key pla...

Does this mean we need to sign an assistant kit man on loan as cover for 6 games or will someone have to "play" out of position? I wonder what he said, if he said the referee was bent that could have meant corrupt, although he admitted the charge so either he said something else or calling...

Although eventually we get frustrated with effort over lack of talent. See Andy Hughes I think part of the problem with Andy Hughes was that he was played out of position a lot. although I don't think he knew what his best position was and was happy to play where and how the manager needed him. Whe...

We have American owners, in fact Rob Coughig is listed on the internet as being a Republican (doesn't necessarily makes him pro-Trump). Interesting times. Given the spotlight on anything or anyone connected to the USA at the current time. Goodwill can soon disappear to be replaced by outright negat...

Just wondering if this Greenland takeover/invasion/purchase talk and the tariff war and unconfirmed suggestion that Europe may sell their bonds and crash the Dollar...

Does anyone actually have any questions for him or have something they would like more information on, If so have you tried to contact him... Maybe you expect him to be a mind reader or browse this message board daily? Send an email to him, maybe contact STAR as I imagine they have open channels of ...

So.,.. other than this thread, what's the best way to follow the Womens team? They seem to be so far down the leagues it doesn't get reported and the official site isn't that great.

Richardson Out - Reading fans love a good moan and he isn't giving us enough to moan about what with winning games and climbing the table.
The club are not helping at all, they've introduced Pukka Pies so we can't even moan about the catering.

I suspect there was £3.75m held back from the sale of the club and this may be owed to the former owner but not yet payable, This being an agreed way to secure that debt..... financially speaking, would we rather he just send £3.75m to the former owner now and have no money available to run the club...

He's achieved nothing since he came here. Could you just delete the thread please Forbes. The last thing we need is an easy place to troll or encourage shit posting about Richardson every time a result doesn't go perfectly. I disagree, it's best to keep it all on one thread as it's easier to ignore...

A good read.

Everytime I head DoF mentioned, I wonder what Nicky Hammond's up to... probably still selling rubbish players for millions to Derby or Sunderland and buying star players for peanuts.... I'd welcome him back if he could pull a few more rabbits out of the hat.
