RFC supporters on Radio 5 Live this Thursday evening

Last night just confirmed my theory that 90% of our fans are idiots.

This post just confirmed my theory that you are one of them

Can anyone find a link for this on iPlayer or somewhere? I can't seem to find it.

This is the first bit of the show, stops when Brian McDermott goes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28GlQ88nHU8

What Rouge said.

I'd have liked to ask Brian if he could tell the media guys that we aren't total morons and that the reason that atmosphere is shit when we aren't playing well is because it's those games when the stewards come out enforce and shut down and semblence of an atmosphere and the police are constantly sticking cameras in our faces.


Then pretend it wasn't me on here.

dont think ive ever seen a steward near me in the north stand, or the po po, and no one around me sings or shouts.
occasional syncronised hand clapping only.

and its not just shit when we are playing badly.

there were games last season, when pushing hard for promotion when no one made a murmer

I must admit I was at this last night; I opened this thread looking forward to a collective stereotypical battering from the majority of you guys & Hob Nob Anyone? didn’t let me down, it was fun.

It wasn't too bad actually. Panel were decent; never been much of a fan of Mick McCarthy in the past ("I never usually get applauded at Reading!") after daft comments he made about a certain spanner-related incident some years ago but he spoke candidly. Savage is hardly Gore Vidal but he does have passion and he knows his football, he also beautifully murked Murray - who himself hosted well - at the end. The worst panelist was Motson who has long since become a parody of himself and the Corporation should have put him out to pasture long ago and taken him off the licence fee payer's payroll.

Reading fans present? One or two interesting questions posed, some rather more banal ones too (mainly asked in that dopey-sounding Berkshire twang ) and generally despite Murray's attempts to goad them into making a chant or two they came across not too badly.....I don't know what some of you lot were expecting really; 'The Today Programme' perhaps? Particularly amused by the 'oh I knew it'd be embarassing' comments from those who coulnd't even be @rsed to listen! Tbh, the hand wringing on here about our own fans is ludicrous; I go to games as a neutral and genuinely you rarely come across many football fans anywhere who are likely to ever compete on Mastermind tbh

agree with floyd

Remind us which is the highest ground above sea level?

I'd quite like to know.

Moss Rose?

The Hawthorns.

The Hawthorns.

Opinion is divided ......

Oh really

Noone bothered to find out for sure? Surely the elevation would be on OS maps.

Everyone who has measured the elevations knows it's the Hawthorns. One person, though, who was on Mastermind and was asked this very question, begs to differ (despite actually knowing the answer).....

[Green]

Sounds pretty obscure to me, certainly not a tripLOLe moment.

I agree with Floyd too. Good post.

For me, McDermott, Roberts and our fans came accross well and I enjoyed the show. It is a complement that the BBC chose to host the show at Reading. They must like it here, which is good.

People who continually slag off our fans, I suspect if you could be magically transported to support a different football club, you would slag off their fans too. It's like Floyd said, what do you expect from football fans? I think we stack up pretty well when compared to the knuckle dragging louts of teams like Milwall and Leeds. Just sayin.

[Royal Rother]

I agree too. It was fine, not great but perfectly fine.

As usual the snivelling shitsters snuffle around for a reason to bash STAR and come up looking cheap and twattish.

Nothing new there then.

I'm rest my case with a childish reply like that.

Anyone who thinks that a sample of 100 fans, most of whom didn't even talk during the show, can confirm any sort of theory about a fanbase of 20/30k is an idiot.

[winchester_royal]

Clappers, song sheets. I'm getting to the point where I hope #readingfc get what they deserve and actually lose today

And you criticise other fans?

[Compo's Hat]

It's like trying to have a conversation with Spacey or Frimmers!

[LoyalRoyalFan]

'I'm sure we will finish in the top 8, certain of it.'

[URZZZZZZZZ]

Let me guess, the majority of people calling the audience 'mongs' sit in the East Stand?

I think the East Stand perfectly demonstrated where the mong fanbase lies today.
