HOW MANY PLAY OFF FINALS YOU BEEN

[Silver Fox]

Brentford v The alex - Wemblers
'ding v Wallsall - Millenniers

[Royal Lady]

This is my third and I'm a great believer in THIRD TIME LUCKY.

[Row Z Royal]

This will be my third. But my second each for Reading and Swansea.

[Alan Partridge]

4 so far, after this weekend 6.

Currently reads

Reading 3 Bolton 4
Reading 2 Walsall 3
Torquay 0 Colchester 1
Torquay 2 Cambridge 0

Not a great record.

My 3rd after 95 and 01 hopefully not the same outcome

[Terminal Boardom]

I was working abroad in 2001 so had to make do with an internet cafe. Got completely oxf*rd that night and didnt get home until 5am. 1995 is still firmly etched in my memory banks.

My advice? Take Tuesday off work regardless of the outcome. You will need it to comprehend the events of the previous day.

[royalp-we]

My 2nd after 2001. A very teary 12 year old in the back of a transit heading back down the M4.

Hopefully a different outcome 10 years on, this time we've opted for a minibus.

[Royal Prince]

This will be my third.

Can't remember much about '95 other than walking down Wembley Way, and eating lemon bon bons on the tube ride home!

Cardiff 2001, I was in my teens so I remember it well. I remember the feeling of injustice as the minority of the fans walked out of the stadium happy, while our fantastic support was left feeling deflated. Luckily Brentford put any heartache I had from that final to rest!

2011 will hopefully be one to remember for the right reasons. The last two occasions were great days out, but my love for the club has grown so much since then. Add into the mix that I used to live in Swansea and as such there is no other club I'd rather beat in the final, but equally the fear of loosing to them is too much to comprehend!

P.s I'm really nervous about this one! My dad picked up my match tickets yesterday and text me to say he'd got them, but I still had to take a detour past home last night just to make sure they were really there!

[Gordons Cumming]

I missed the game. I was working as a fixed odds Donkey from the back of a 1946 Citroen flat bed. Went to the Dynamo Plopov game in 92' at the PotatoStadt Arena in Gilkesgrad though...

Hobnob humour at it's best.

[East Stand Ste]

Both of the previous ones......will miss this one due to a terribly timed holiday! Will be in pub though!

You going to miss this game my god it the biggest game ever in reading history

i know! truly gutted!! still, i take consolation in having my season ticket back after a 3 year absense of not having one! same seat too!

[Ian Royal]

I saw the 1991 play-off final against FC Albanie at the Stade Melodramatique in Cannes.

They were selling Simmonds bitter in champagne flutes at the Boules Bar.

Reading lost 4-1 and I picked up eighty grand in Swiss francs from the fixed-odds donkey sellers round the back by the Citroen dealers.

Anyone else remember this?

Yous posts are just superb.

'greed, even though I've been on the end of at least one.

Great. Hopefully we can meat up and do a programme swap.

My dearest Ian. Now you have made me feel quite guilty with your magnanimity and good humour. (I hope you know I was only gently chiding you for the possibility of excessive spreadsheet use and not being cruel. Love, your namesake x).

[Optimist]

I was only 4 in 95 and didnt start coming to watch Reading til 97. Couldnt go in 01 as I was on holiday. So Monday will be my first.

[B14 Royal]

Third for me. The '95 final was my 2nd ever match. Was 6 years old, could hardly see anything of the game though!

[Ian Royal]

I've never been any play off finals, I've always been a person.

Herring, I'm quite easy to rile on here if you push the right buttons, but it takes a hell of a lot to make me hold a grudge, no one as quality as you could piss me off for long.

Power to the Ians

[The Doctor]

3rd time lucky for us lot. we threw the other 2 away. HOpefully putting that right today and winning a big day out for once. i'd love it for the look on my dads face alone.

[Amongst the sheep]

This will be the 3rd with Reading. Also went to Swindon vs Leicester which ended 4-3 in 1993. So always loads of goals. Also went to the Simod Cup truimph 4-1.

[taipeiroyal]

My third and yet again as my name implies, a trip from Taiwan to see the game.
I actually came back just before the Leeds away game in anticipation of an exciting run in only to watch some rather tedious stuff up until the two games against Cardiff which were amazing.....I fly back on Tuesday!
(No I'm not Taiwanese...grew up in Crowthorne!)

C'mon you royals!!!

Love your grammatical subtlety Ian.

No riling from me young man.

We are at peace.

Other Ian.
