Inevitabilities for Saturday

[Ashfordroyal]

When Marcus under no pressure boots a clearance in to the West Stand, the bloke behind me will shout:
"Oh come on! Your a professional footballer!"
His 8 year old daughter will say "why does he do that daddy"
Shaking his head continuously he`ll say:
"I dont know, I just dont know"

76.
Reading fans - we support our local team
United fans - you support a load of shit

Reading fans think in silence for 5 minutes while United sing he plays on the left etc

5 minutes of silence from Reading fans later

Reading fans - you only live around the corner
United fans - you've only come to see United

If you think about it all football fans are embarrassing:

I mean thousands of grown men/women paying shedloads of money to travel around the country to watch 22 men kick a bag of air around a park.

Not only that but they sing about how much they love these blokes who they've never met and have little to nothing in common with and then look to take the mick out of another set of men/women for doing the same thing but for a team that wear another colour shirt.

Shit. Good point. I'll stay at home tomorrow and remove channel 405 from my favourites too. Crap. What will I do with my Saturday afternoons?

Actually it's ok, that's not me at all. I don't take the mick out of any other set of men/women for supporting a different team. Unless it's eeds. Or Mi wa .

Maybe so if that's the way you want to look at it.
Come on though, our fans are piss poor, some clubs have the same problem but all games of other teams I've been to I've left thinking that our fans are a tad on the crap side. Never mind.

80. Plenty of really loud support for Reading for about 5 minutes then as realisation dawns that Man U are already 2 up, silence for the rest of the game (apart from that freaky moment towards the end when we get a corner).

81. Despite defeat a good Reading performance will occur, all things considered, and SC will be further convinced that we don't need any more signings and break off any current negotiations.

82. Arsenal won't loan us any players for tomorrow's game.

83. The bloke behind me will go on and on and on about how cr*p Lita and Sonko have been this season despite neither of them playing.

84. We'll all be run over in the car park as the club yet again fails to prevent traffic leaving the ground at the same time as pedestrians.

85. It'll piddle down all afternoon and everyone around the ground in Rows A-K will get soaked.

86. 10% of the East Stand will arrive after kick off and, while they get to their seats, block the view of those who can manage to arrive on time during those few minutes we're "still in the game".

87. We will keep a clean sheet.



Nurse, nurse, more medication..........

Row J, and I've never been soaked there.

Damn. That's done it for tomorrow then.

The point is though, it really doesn't matter does it.? So why waste part of life comparing groups of fans?

[who are ya?]

It does though doesn't it, really.

[Stranded]

Why does it?

[who are ya?]

Because I'm sure you would much rather watch your football on saturdays in a ground famous for it's atmosphere, with passionate fans who actually have decent chants. If you would then it matters, if not then I'll move on quietly..

[Silver Fox]

To someone so self conscious that they can be embarassed by their fellow fans I'm sure it matters a lot

[who are ya?]

Not really, it's just frustrating more than anything. It's the main thing I've always taken shit for about being a Reading fan but I can't actually disagree.
I like the whole culture that football brings so it does get to me yeah, it would be different if I was the type of fan who sits in the ground an hour before kick off ticking who's playing in the programme, never letting out anything more than a polite clap.

[Stranded]

Fair enough, football for me is about a day out with my mates, a few beers and the game.

I enjoy it the way I enjoy it and couldn't care less what the rest of the fans in the ground are doing/not doing or what they think of me.

i agree completely but having like minded fans together in the same area where they can stand and sing and help create a really good atmosphere and really get behind the team...well thats the worst idea i have ever heard!

[brendywendy]

dont worry about the other fans
all we can do is shout sing and clap as loudly as we can and hope it spreads


i have had some great days at the madejski though, this and last season too
great atmosphere when we can be arsed, even if all the songs are of the "insert club name here" variety

where have all those witty intelligent imaginative chant-singing fans we used to have at elm park gone to?

88. Reading shirters will give the biggun to a coach of United fans, the coach will pull over and the lads will get off and give the Shirters a slap.

Once shirters are on floor thwy will be left alone.
