Reading4eva I understand that Reading are set to become a parent club of Crewe Alexandra. This will allow Readings youth players to be loaned to Crewe without cost to the Cheshire club. Likewise Reading will be able to take first option on any players Crewe are set to sell.
I understand this has been born out of Adkins roots
I hope this is true and you are not just pulling our pissers. It would be an excellent move for the development of our youth and Crewe have proven over many years, that they are very good at developing excellent young players.
Our youngster would get more football league exposure, quickening their development and learning first hand what it means to play a proper hard fought, competitive game of football, rather than just the academy games.
Personally, I will have my fingers crossed. It would turn out to more useful than what the Galatasary link has done so far.
