The 'Royals'isation of Reading FC

[Reading4eva]

It would still be Reading to me. They can stick Americanisation up their ass!

What were they gonna call Leicester once? Leicester Fosse wasn't it? What the fook does that mean!

hang on a minute-

when brian didnt sign anyone it was his fault
now atkins hasnt, its antons fault?

No, Anton's fault both times.

i see the internet as a single entity.
i argue with it, it argues back.
i forgot it is in fact made up from lots of different people

The word is 'arse.'

Jokes on you, I'm Anton.

You are fricking kidding me?!

[Geekins]

I consider myself a Republican so I've always disliked the nickname. At the end of the day, though, it doesn't really matter that much...


Plus the 'Come on you Royals' is easier than 'Come on you Biscuitmen'

Only if you're straight.

In the grand scheme of things, I couldn't give a shit.

"Royals' and Reading have been linked in my head for years.

That explains the user name.

Having just heard Hull City are being rebranded Hull City Tigers. Would you like Reading FC to become Reading Royals?

If AZ (who I still fear has a megalomaniacal streak) or any other faceless foreign owner fancies changing the name of our club then they'll no longer be able to rely on my season ticket money any more.

That would be the club's original name, m8.

I hate all this changing of names and identities/colour of strips etc etc We've always been RFC and i dont want to add, take away or even oxf*rd divide our name to anything but RFC.

RRFC? No thanks.

Reading City

Reading Royals sounds stupid given the 2 names are pretty much synonymous

[floyd__streete]

Royals - such a naff nickname. I wasn't around in 1974(?) when this monstrosity was adopted. Woooo, we're the County Town of the Royal County of Berkshire - what a spurious reason for a nickname, the Queen wouldn't let her Corgi's crap in this hole of a town, less so want to be associated with it in any way.

Reading City

Reading Town would be more accurate. Hasn't been granted city status as far as I'm aware...
