Re: TAKEOVER CONFIRMED TO HAVE NOT YET HAPPENED BUT MIGHT SOON

Hope I'm wrong, but should not under-estimate how much offence overseas investors from the East may take. Public humiliations, ranging from the very public and various protests and fines from the EFL etc will have hurt, and it would not surprise me if Dai is thinking about that as he negotiates the ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Have a great memory if seeing Olise and Bellingham in the same pitch, in Reading' win at Birmingham just before covid, in what was one of their best performances that year. If Reading had been run properly probably could have see an additional £20m in the coffers, with extras for Olise and something...

Re: Season Tickets 24/25

Not renewed for second season running. Was unable to to midweeks over last decade as live over 2 hours each way. Attended less than 10 games a season during that period, so my days of subsidising the club have stopped for now. Always found a seat when needed. If Dai goes and we go back up may recons...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The US investors will always want to make money, and that means aiming for the top league. Interesting to listen to the US Bournemouth owner last night on his plans, and the Birmingham City expansion plans. We already have the stadium, but needs more use. Buy the land around the ground from the Thai...

Re: How early have you taken your children to a game and it be ok?

I've known friends who gave taken their younger kids to games. One was freaked by the roar of the crowd when we scored, and has been put off since. Another has been a few times but is bored by having to sit in a seat for 90 mins. Maybe with friends could be different, and of course the concourse foo...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (h)

Did the tennis ball protest change momentum away from Reading - Sky suggested they did? Do you think we'll get a stadium ban; would think EFL will be considering this as the protests happen evey game now?

Re: CONFIMRED - Paul Ince sacked

We went down as a result of the owners failure to manage the club properly, and the 6 point penalty applied in April was the killer. We all saw the shoulders drop, on and off the pitch. Players that we got were here because no one else wanted them and the defence was woeful. We flattered to deceive ...

Re: transfer deadline day thread

Thing is Holmes has struggled over the last 3 years, shown to be very short on pace and tactical nouse. Individually not his fault we were relegated, but part of a consistently leaky defence. As others have said, maybe deeper than just form, but hopefully back and improved when he re-emerges to push...

Re: HMRC Winding up petition/order

Given up with Dai. Once bitten......... Bad management of finances and cashflow is inexcusable and has damaged the Reading brand. Will take a long time to recover. After 20 years as a ST holder have not renewed. Will go occasionally and chose the games whilst we remain in 3rd tier. I'll choose how I...
