Yellowcoat Huntley & Palmers did play at a good non-league level some years ago as I had a friend (ex QPR junior) who drove from Harrow every week for "boot money". It was Spartan League though which was more of a force in the 60s/70s.

Stranded Has the problem been that Reading has never had one obvious lead NL club? Most clubs in the town seem to be pottering around in the Hellenic or CCL, none have gone to establish themselves at the next step. There has never been one say 1 or 2 levels higher that can attract and keep the better players in the town, so they are either spread across smaller clubs are move out of town. Clubs have fleeted with Southern League, as mentioned but none have hung around.
As a result, there are two many clubs that are much of a muchness and without a relatively hefty investment no-one has been able to break away and be that club?

Royal Rother Fwiw there are no Reading clubs in the CCL.

TBM If this "one woodley" thing reaches the vision that the bloke who set it up, wants - then we'll soon see a 15,000 all seater stadium in Woodley

Hoop Blah I don't understand the Woodley merger anyway, seemed like a really odd thing to do.

Four Of Clubs ... mind you Woodley Utd do have a current base off of Woodlands Ave that I s'pose they could try and lever upwards to something decent - not been there yet - only been used by their Reserve side in the TVL-P so far - and not at night - not too sure precisely where it is - somewhere near the UoR Sportspark beyond the old Bulmershe College site?
The Goals Centre opposite there has been able to put up a load of lights for their small sided pitches too. So there has been a bit of leeway more recently.
