The benefits are almost exactly the same - access to coach travel, fans forums, 10% at Megastore voucher, 20 Royalty points on your account, free Reading Matter.

G'boy.

Regular away fans like yourself might be pleased to know that STAR has successfully petitioned the club to award as many Royalty Points for attending away matches as home matches from this season. Even Bris City.

Worth the £10 membership fee, great job! Thanks

Would this be 10 points for home/away? Or 5?

Believe it's 10 for both now; haven't seen anything written down yet.

Dear STAR, when you next have a management meeting with the club can you raise the issue of the clubs kits and why it takes so long to get the things set up, revealed, made and available to buy. Many clubs of equal and lesser stature to Reading have their kits out early in the summer yet Reading are forever waiting until early July just to be able to see the design, and this season until god knows when, and even longer to be able to buy.

Just as an additional thought some clubs come up with 2 or 3 designs towards the end of a season which fans then vote on. While not necessarily binding, the result would give the club an indication of which designs would be the most popular.

As you may know I like collecting RP.

Do you know why the club have stopped giving RPs for friendly games this season?

It seems to be a traditional part of the Reading Way now and nothing we say ever on this issue ever seems to have any effect. Odd.

No.

Not even for the home friendly?

Not entirely sure on that front, haven't bought tickets for it yet. I know last year for Espanyol we did get points.

Buy me a ticket for the Bournemouth game and you can find out.

I can confirm you do get points for the home friendly.

I will join if STAR put on buses to away games that allow me to get pished at the back of the bus and wake me up when we get back to town after

[STAR Liaison]

While STAR and LWJ are on the same thread, could I ask if known hooligans are allowed on STAR coaches? What measures do STAR take to protect decent, family friendly fans from our resident 'top boy'?

I thought he got off, didn't he? Wasn't there some sort of bet about this?

A reformed character I understand and he brings an apple for the driver every trip.

It's illegal to bring alcohol, or be drunk, on a coach going to / returning from a football match, whether it's run by STAR or anyone else.

Sorry, Bobby, you'll have to make do with a Sedan chair manned by offenders doing their community service. Leave now and you should make the second half at Newcastle.

Full details now confimred and availabl on our website http://www.star-reading.org .

The competition is an incentive to join STAR early in the season as well as a chance to win a load of cash for being clever / lucky.

Non-members of STAR can also participate at a cost of £5 - they are limited to one entry only. STAR members can buy one additional (to their free) entry only for £5.

I was hoping you would have bent the rules just a little for me. I would be willing to drink my chosen beverage (most likely a can of fosters), out of another container if that would help, or wrap the can skillfully with the bag from the off licence so no one suspects anything.

Absolutely no way. It's not just the drinker that's liable to prosecution, it's also the coach driver. Serious consequences.
