Reading Fans

[Pridders]

Ok I am a Reading fan, well a plastic one really and I don't mind that. I was a season ticket holder for 05/06 and 07/08 but now quite frankly I have better things to do at weekends. Something I noticed though when going to the games and have always noticed when seeing footage on tv etc... Reading fans they are just...well... dull... They either look like geeky students or over weight, real ale swelling bearded old men. You never get that passion like you see with Liverpool, United, Spurs, Chelski or big clubs like Newcastle. Those fans just seem "more up for it" you can see it in their eyes. I would love to follow a big 4 club to be part of that passion and belief, I just cant though as I follow Reading and always will, just wish it had the same energy as some other clubs.

apart from reading fans being generally a bunch of wronguns
i see no difference between them and other groups of fans of similarly sized/successful clubs

Don't judge by looks alone.

Reading fans have a sporting spirituality and an inner beauty that you don't find amongst the victory-obsessed, hate-filled club-shop-fodder of the big city outfits.

I like to think.

I've yet to spot a good looking man at a Reading game. But I'm also yet to spot anyone who isn't fat, ugly or bearded at any other ground or on televised matches. And that's just the women.

There's one next to you. Oh and actually a couple just across the aisle from me. They're not actually a couple I don't think, but you know what I mean.

The atmosphere after the 3 points on Saturday was impressive.

What a load of bollocks.

You've obviously been looking the other way as I've passed by.

[Sir Rodney Effing]

What is it with Reading fans?

Wake up and smell the Simmonds / Courage!

We have a history of putting ourselves down (irony noted I suppose I have to point out...)

But...

I meant.. to finally get a victory.

[Royal Lady]

I should point out, of course, that I wasn't including Schards, as I'm not looking out for him. He is, of course, the best looking fan imo.

I think you're biased................

[Royal Lady]

OUTWITH Schards, I've yet to see a hunky, good looking football fan anywhere. Except Hugo, but I don't see him very often though.

If you go to Stamford Bridge, Emirates or Old Trafford, it's full of tourists with bags full from the club shops, and out with their cameras & phones as soon as anything moves!
