Freemasons.

Hearing a match during the 2017 season may be sponsored by Berkshire Freemasons as part of some celebration thing.

Freemasonry and football have strong links apparently

and we are looking at free's.

Na it's all a conspiracy

[Forbury Lion]

Reminds me of a story overheard on the football bus, A Reading local was up in court so a bloke in the bar (The Maidens, I think) says he's a freemason and will teach him the special signs to use to get the judge to let him off in return for buying him beers all night.

The guy goes to court and he's doing all the special winks and nods to the judge as he was taught during the hearing and then the judge stops things threatens to charge him for conspiracy or something if he doesn't stop. Turns out the bloke wasn't a free mason but just saw an opportunity to get free drinks and made all the moves up and to cap it all off, I think the guy lost his case.

What's wrong with them sponsoring a game, much like a Rotary Club doing the same thing

Also, for the record, the club's shirt sponsor (BOTH home and away) until summer 2019 will be Carabao.

I used to work with a Freemason, apparently the Freemasons own loads of property around the world which is handy for holidays.

The Thai's are working on a property deal.

Coincidence?
