well it is obvious that wayne bridge will be put in infront of shorey as he as at a bigger club. mcclaren needs to come to one of our home games to watch shorey to see what he's like, another player though highly rated is gareth bale of southampton and he probably has more chance as he is part of t...

Stoke City's real formation date is 1873. Rotherham's claim of 1870 is also fake - there's an article about it on a fan's webpage somewhere. Basically they've just taken the date of the oldest football club in the town regardless of the fact that there was no connection to the current Rotherham Unit...

Huntley & Palmer No-one in the next six years. Shorey will be too old post Euro 2008

Anybody who travels on the Reading to Basingstoke line seen any signs of work starting.The GP website says it will be ready for 2008.Surely this means that work must have started on site?

So, to summarise, Wokingham's Tories have objected against Reading's stadium expansion. This follows on from Reading's Tories, who objected to the stadium being built in the first place.

In 1976/77, probably near the start of the season, they played a self-recorded song by two fans. It sounded like two girls singing, with the "music" provided by twanging an elastic band on a Tupperware box. The bit I can remember was the chorus, which went: We support a team called Reading...

By my reckoning, even though it's an away game where we only get 40% of the gate receipts, this match will still produce a new Reading FC receipts record!

Re: A Steward's viewpoint

However, the point people seem to miss here is that a large proportion of these away fans simply wont be coming back for the next game at the Madejski Completely irrelevant. I more-or-less agree with everything else you wrote, but until the problem of unfair treatment is sorted out you will have no...

Re: Reading on TV again

I'm not usually a fan of records that only start in 1992, but I'll make an exception here. Following Saturday's win, we are no longer bottom of the "least Premiership wins by a Premiership club ever" league. Our sixth win (in 13 games) puts us ahead of Swindon's grand total of 5 (from an ...
