And STH have had free admission to U23/18 games at the Madejski for years
What are Stoke's matchday prices (home and away fans)

Where???

It’s a football ground in south Reading......

I've never heard of this place.

I generally don't agree with firing managers unless things are absolutely dire - but even so it would be prime 'dickhead fan' to call for Pauno to go, regardless of results. If we somehow end up in a relegation fight then that will be a consequence of a weak squad, not the manager.

Chelsea use their loanees to make money - which means we would have to cover his wage and pay a fee. Neither of which we are in a great position to do.

Stoke City’s cheapest ST is very much in line with ours, £294. However they also chuck into the mix free away coach travel, and free admission to U23 fixtures and Stoke City ladies for their STH. Not a huge fan of the potters, but they have frozen their prices since 2008. Appreciate they have a big...

This is probably the one summer when the owners will cast-iron excuse for not buying players.

Yeah its not illegal and a fairly common thing that happens in life. But as people have said - the manager is supposed to be a leader, someone who commands respect. One to lead by some sort of example. Its not a great look for himself or the club. Rooney will be the butt of a lot jokes which is des...

But they will of - of course they will. We've lost McCleary, Gunter etc off the wages last year, Baldock, Aluko plus plenty of fringe players this year. Unless, and this looks increasing unlikely, we get allowed to blow out on a couple of big signings, we'll have basically about 12 experienced firs...

Personally, I don't see why the EFL can't scrutinise the financial viability of every transfer for every club and cap squad sizes. If it can impose an embargo when someone overspends then there's no reason why they can't block unsustainable spending in the first place otherwise you're just locking ...

Are we saying that managers aren't allowed to get drunk? It not a great look for a club that recently had its captain involved in a drunk drive serious crash involving other players. Nor is it a great look for a guy who has already cheated on his wife with an old prostitute. I appreciate your point...

I can't see how the wages will be anything near that now though. We gambled, like many clubs who did it successfully, and failed due to poor signings Did the cost of the new training ground come out of those losses? And yes, also the academy and women's team as well. . Yeah, people have said that t...

John Smith

Hound Could really do with losing Moore from the wage bill couldnt we?

And prob Swift and Rafael as well, though Swift would leave a big hole in the side

Yes

You're assuming that getting them off the wage bill would allow us to sign more players though.....

https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/ex-west-brom-winger-confirms-21143261 Have to say I'm pretty concerned by this if we can't even sign free agents on probably low(ish) wages. We really need to hope our academy lads are up to it. Think if they were good enough we'd have playe...

https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/19468722.reading-fc-trialists-will-not-offered-royals-deals/ Ok, this is speculation on my part, but reading between the lines of this article it sounds like the EFL might have blocked the signings. Or at least put enough restrictions in place that they couldn...

Right now though we have to consider our finances in terms of what keeps the EFL happy, rather than what is 'good business'. It could very well be the case that what we receive in transfer fee and a lower wage budget will only result in a small increase in what the EFL lets us spend. For example - w...

My instinct is that it would be much better if society changed it's mob mentality than creating laws which restrict the reporting of facts. This player has been suspended by Everton and it's only because we're out of season that it wasn't obvious who it was immediately. We should be grown up enough ...

It's basically the same, yes. First Division and PL titles are all counted as one and the same. It's technically slightly different as it's no longer over seen by the FL. But it's basically just a technicality. 106 starts getting complicated that when you factor in points per game a couple of PL te...

If he was willing to take a 1 year contract under 10k per week it would be a no brainer but I doubt it so I should not have posted it. We need 4 more for our squad as a minimum and beggars at this point cant be choosers. Yeah, that scenario would be a no-brainer for the club. But it would very much...
