Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

WE HAVE EXCLUSIVITY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I repeat THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Amazing. Lots of distance to run, Dai is a cnut, all the usual disclaimers. But this is bloody excellent news! Especially that the training ground is part of the package, that is a big commitment, especially in League One. It's...

Re: Bolton (A)

The last time I was at Bolton, Amir Khan was in an box above us with his mates. I think Khan tried some banter behind the windows but I can't recall what. I dont' remember much about the game except for the waving of huge flags when they scored.

Re: Have your go at being ITK

My ITK attempt. All bidders back off after getting pissed off by Dai and wait for our liquidation. When Dai can't pay the bills next month we get liquidated and call in the administrators. They sell to one of the consortiums for half what they offered Dai, but we are relegated following the points d...

Re: Have your go at being ITK

I still think those rumours were deliberately put out by the club to stop and fan protest at the last game, following the scandalous sale of the training ground.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

What’s going on? Mate just said SJM has been on Sky saying we’re about to go under and STAR have just sent an email about the March funding shortfall. Have talks fallen through? Tweet not email. I would imagine he's yanking your chain a bit on the first one. Having seen the STAR tweet it is just an...

Re: Anyone For Chinese?

Snowflake Royal
Greatwesternline
Snowflake Royal iirc it won an award not long after completion


Best mid-sized European sports Arena as awarded by ESPN US if I remember correctly.

That's the chappie


It's quite unusual in that the outside and concourse are above the pitch, so disabled fans can get in and be at a level to get a decent view.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Some are talking about Bearwood and the Academy being too expensive in L1 but I disagree. Surely the Academy can be a very profitable entity if you have owners with money. If it’s profitable why would you need owners with money to keep it afloat The problem is an academy is profitable based on club...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I know I should be skeptical, but this does feel like the one. Not much room for Dai to move the goalposts as the stadium needs a club with it. It seems like Pang and Dai are involved given the training ground sale, plus I trust Earnshaw not to report it without covering off this point. The main bl...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

People have been crying out for us to be sustainable. Now a potential buyer is trying to buy us in a form with affordable costs, everyone is questioning it. If you buy Reading with Bearwood and everything, you need to stabilise as a Championship club quickly to make sense. Do we want owners who mak...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Reading are in advanced talks with a North American group to buy the club, Sky Sports News understands. The prospective deal would see the club change hands and their ground – Select Car Leasing Stadium – would also be sold. Just goes to show what an utter disgrace Dai is, if a deal to buy the club...

Wigan sold the training ground they bought from Bolton to Preston when they were in the poo, they still got a buyer.

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Can someone from SBWD or STAR let us know what is going to happen to funds raised "to save the club" this month or to "pay for a staff party" before Christmas? It is not needed by the club now, so will the donors be reimbursed? They could offer to use the cash to hire portaloos ...

Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

Mid Sussex Royal We trained in Prospect Park well into the 1980's


Football was a different game then than it is now, with Sports Science, nutrition, better levels of fitness, and better tactics. Trying to do that on a park pitch is a big ask.

Re: Wycombe will be culpable.

Where exactly do they think Reading are going to training after it's sold? There's clearly no plan at present. Other than renting our facilities back off them all the alternatives are pretty dire for a professional team.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The club is nothing but a liability, with no assets except the players, most of whom leave on a free at the end of the season.

No Stadium, no car park, and now no training ground. Who's going to buy that?

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Blaming the Wycombe owner and asking people to go to Adams Park to protest. Silly move imo Did you expect them to say to Wycombe - sure come and get all our stuff at knock down prices, we're desperate. It was bound to trigger anomosity. I for one will loathe Wycombe for these actions from this poin...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Do the club own the training ground or is it another company linked to Dai? ie if he sells the training ground for £20m presumably that money goes to him not to the club. It's still up to him if he gives any of these funds to the club to complete the season. There was a useful picture someone posted...

Knowing a little bit about insolvency protocol one massive no no is hiving off assets prior to any form of insolvency process beginning. If D*I thinks he can flog Bearwood for mega money (or any money!) and then he walk away HMRC take the dimmest view known to man on people who do that. They will p...
