We've beaten Newcastle away, Brighton home and drawn away, Leeds home and away. So far only sheff Wednesday who are our perennial bogey team have beaten us but we dominated both games and came away with nothing. Nice try matey. Despite that mightily impressive home win, I think you'll find that you...

I've been finding this thread wonderfully entertaining, not least for its confirmation of just how much our two clubs actually have in common. Humble origins recently eclipsed by a rush to nouveau riche. Decades of underachievement enlivened by occasional bursts of all-too-transient excellence. Plus...

Lux I am now progressing well into my eighties and, probably my last season ticket. Have thrown my toys out several times lately having felt let down by the Club and, once or twice, by the team performance but that's what supporting is all about. My first remembrance of football in Reading would be...

That's because, being built in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty That's surely a comedy quote? It's built next to a university campus. All you can see from the A27 is the stadium and the uni buildings, so why would you make such an arse of the design and have no decent sized stand behind the go...

Some good comments here, and I think I understand where you're coming from. On the subject of stadium design, I'm wondering how many of you walked all the way round the Amex? If so, you'd have seen that it's a totally asymmetric building, with each stand very different from its neighbour. That's bec...

Good town, good boozers, awful stadium and match day goings on. Not sure if it's any better than the Mad Stad really apart from being in a fashionable seaside city. ...although they do seem to have made an effort to make the ground different, it's still shit. Interesting. What in particular did you...

Really excellent to meet a good number of Royals fans in the away end yesterday. (Special mention to Linda and the Nag's Head crew.) I mentioned that we could do with some fresh reports on the (otherwise excellent) Football Ground Guide, which now contains much out-of-date and inaccurate information...

The club's advice for Mill Road is always to arrive an hour and a half before kick-off. Be there before 1.30 and you should be fine - and reach the stadium in time to drink more beer and watch the live game on TV. Or else, don't go into the away end yet but join the home fans in Dick's Bar. Even bet...

But of course - hopefully more than one barrel. To quote the club's general matchday brief:- The Piglet’s Pantry special pie for this game is a Cottage Pie – available in all concourse kiosks. The guest beers are Wychwood Brewery’s Dirty Tackle – available in East Stand lower, North Stand, West Stan...

The BHA website now carries a complete matchday brief for Reading fans visiting the Amex. See http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/brighton-and-hove-albion-v-reading-away-fan-information-1404452.aspx Amongst other things, it confirms that the away end guest beer for tomorrow will be Wychwood's Dir...

Thanks for the reminder; I did report those slippery floors to the club immediately after your last visit. Should be better this time. Best way to avoid any chance of sardine experiences is to stay on - for a pie and beer experience. Thousands of us do exactly that, and Royals fans will be very welc...

Just to clarify a few things for anyone coming down to the Amex on Saturday. For most away fans the easiest and best option by far is to come by train. You’ll save money by booking a return ticket to Haywards Heath or Shoreham by Sea. From there, the rest of the journey on to Brighton and the change...
