Re: Rumour - Scott Hogan

They won't get anything like that, but no harm in them looking to maximise what they do get.
What they have done though is put up the for sale signs.....

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

The core question in the article is a reasonable one to ask. Hardly original though as it's pretty much been debated on here since the summer ! The article however is really lazily written and poorly researched. We could play a little game of spot the error. How many mistakes or misrepresentations c...

Re: U23's & The Checkatrade Trophy - Wembley

Has anyone 'boycotted' this at Reading ? I just think there isn't much to attract people to watch lower division teams in a low key competition which is the 4th priority (at best). It's been good experience for our young players, and if we win another 3 games and get to Wembley it will be a nice day...

Re: Rumour - Scott Hogan

We must be one of the few clubs in the top two tiers not to have broken our transfer record in the last 9 year. But how many of those clubs have tripled their record signing in one go. I'll give you Burton who's record signing before this summer was £20,000 and who's record signing is still only in...

Re: Rumour - Scott Hogan

As good as Hogan appears to be, I'm not sure I feel comfortable with this much money being thrown around straight away. Big +1, I fundamentally object to teams in the second tier splashing £5m+ on a single player... it's bonkers. ,, I do think Hogan is an excellent player but considering the club h...

Re: Rumour - Scott Hogan

I believe that for Chinese owners their government offers significant tax breaks for football investment. Therefore £9 million is an insignificant amount when A) you are a billionaire B) you can claim it back from the biggest (or is it still the second biggest ?) economy in the world. You can argue ...

Re: Rumour - Scott Hogan

The obvious difference is the Chinese have their own money. Anton had a small amount but was reliant on finding funding from others. When he failed to do so he was stuffed. That's a huge difference.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Southampton (A) - Checkatrade Trophy Last 32

I'm sure there will be the flexibility to move the Leeds game to the Friday if we make the final.
Player availability should not be an issue. If you are involved in the first team squad that weekend that pretty much means you should not be in the U23 squad !

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a) sponsored by Hope and Dan's crazy bus

Foul throws are pretty rare, and it's usually the throwing action rather than the feet that is wrong. Such an obvious raised foot as Gunter's is bizarre !

Is he air crew or a train driver ?

It's hardly arduous getting tickets though, waited about 3 minutes in an online queue.

The internet has ruined these sort of events.

Re: Man Utd (A)

In. Payment succeeded, email received. I'd screen shot the history page just to make sure you have a record in case of problems later. Maybe leave it until later today when the frenzy has died down and if payment is not showing in your bank account ring the TO to confirm all is ok. I know that if th...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackburn Rovers (a) sponsored by Hope and Dan's crazy bus

Definite foul throw.
I guess that means we can really only count that as a draw and 1 point. Drops us a couple of places in the table.
Bit of a reality check....

Re: Man Utd (A)

The money spent on the ticket subsidy is utterly insignificant in terms of the January transfer window. I do think there is an arguement to say why not have an away season ticket priced at £20 per match to reward those who travel regularly. For the club to implement (in a token way) the Twenty's Pl...

Re: Reality Check?

How many are actual 'chances' though ?
Teams shooting from 20 yards because they can't create anything inside the box does not equal 'chances'.

We've already said we'll stick with our 20's Plenty policy for any replay. That would apply to both sets of fans.
