Dear 72 Bus

As a first step of introducing ourselves to the supporters of Reading Football Club, I want to thank you as a season ticket holder for your unequivocal support of this magnificent institution.

It is fair to say that without your support, both financially and emotionally, this club of yours might well have ceased to exist. In spite of it all, your continued support allowed the club to continue and showcase a quality product on the pitch, both at first team level and Academy, and keep hold of a group of highly qualified and dedicated staff both on the pitch and off.

Your loyalty will be remembered.

In the next week, we will begin to put forward our plans for the Club. I think you will find that we are ambitious but governed by our commitment to honesty, transparency, and financial sustainability.

Without getting too far ahead of myself, I think you will find that the steps we will take over the next few weeks and thereafter are guided by the question of whether it adds value to the Club, the experience, and its supporters.

Todd, Amy, Missy, and I look forward to meeting you in person - and we're excited for the journey ahead!

Most importantly - Up the Ding!

That is rather excellent. Plenty of people management training there methinks. Next they should employ SJM as finance officer!

I still think it would be great if Rob (or one of his minions) got an account on here and talk to us Nobbers directly

That is absolute class from the new owners. Love he calls it "your club."

What we all want: ambition, within our means, focused on the fans.

There will be some bumps along the way, but for right now, you'd have to be a right Eeyore to not be optimistic and excited.

The accounts to June 2024 published recently showed large sums owing to group undertakings
We've so far seen little about the finances of the takeover
Wonder what the current balance sheet looks like...

I got the ST Email...

wasn't sure it was actually from RC until I re-read it in my head with a dog barking in the background and then it sounded authentic...

Nice letter. Gives a warm fuzzy feeling when you read it.

It'd be a huge task, but I would love to see a complete timeline of events in the Dai ownership. For those of us who weren't alive or old enough to understand events of the Thames Valley Royals era, this has been the period of greatest uncertainty in the club's collective memory. While a lot of it is fresh right now, give it a couple of years and I reckon some of the specifics of just how mad it got may be forgotten. Would be nice to have a complete overview with all of the events of the last 18 months (Bearwoodgate, Chiron, Banning Order, Bowengate etc etc) in the context of Dai's overall ownership and our league results.
