My first season as a Royals supporter was our last in the old Division 4. Since then wee have all seen highs and lows, the joy and despair.
Beating Plymouth 4-3 being 3-0 down at home with 21 minutes to go. Losing 6-0 at Walsall having travelled both ways in a blizzard. Andy Rogers swallowing his tongue in the win at the Vetch. Trevor Senior scoring 2 own goals at home against then bottom Darlington. The Simod Cup final - coming back from 1-0 down to lift the trophy. The first game at Mad Stad at home to Luton. The away game at Leicester that secured this day has come around. We are lucky as supporters in that we have had all the emotions possible in following Reading, unlike the established Premiership clubs whose supporters are after blood every time they fail to beat the bottom club with a convincing performance. Our day is here, and I for one am going to really enjoy this season whatever the outcome.
Be loud, be heard, but most importantly, this is a great club - be proud.
