Half Time PizzaThe Royal Forester Reading FC has now got a website:- royals150.co.uk showing details of our history and also the events that are planned. The event that catches my eye is a match on Sat. May 21st 2022, Coppell v McDermott. Who would Hobnobbers want to see in that match? Would it be the two promotion teams (as far as possible)? Any players who played under the different managers? Any player who has put the hoops (or any Reading shirt) on? If either of the of the latter two options who would you want to see in the teams, If you like to go to the effort you may have different teams for each half. My choice would be the two promotion teams playing against each other. Another choice for you to consider is a fantasy option where you could name players too old to play, or no longer with us. Hope you enjoy selecting you team from the past.
I reckon it would be a good opportunity to reconnect with the likes of John Halls, Chris Makin, Graham Stack and Hayden Mullins.
Jobi captain
I wouldn't count on seeing John Halls.

“It didn’t work out at Reading,” he says. “I don’t know who signed me, which I think is quite common in football, but (manager) Steve Coppell didn’t take to me, and I didn’t take to him."
