So I'm assuming Burton will be random inflatables as usual next week being the last away game. Interesting to note that Barnet have banned Grimsby fans from bringing inflatables (so they've hired a mariarchi band instead :lol: ) but on the BBC article below, they've used an (uncredited) pic of our ...

Kebe :shock: Ok he had a debatable attitude in refusing to play and demanding a move... But when that guy was on form and on the pitch he wasn't just pace, goals and assists. He was crucial in our box in the air repelling corners, free kicks, and even the occasional off the line blockage. That is t...

I think that we still have a problem with the character in the squad. When the going is good, the likes of Williams, McCleary, McShane. Swift, Beerens, Obita, even Blackett and Gunter can be very good. I think they would possibly be at a higher level if they had the consistency. This isn't unusual i...

Huddersfield for breakfast, Brighton for lunch?

Royal Ginger I'm struggling to remember a time where the next X games weren't touted as the most important/key/season defining.

Last season and the season before that!

Newcastle's next fixtures look pretty tough to me? They will visit Brighton and then Huddersfield and then Reading in 8 days. I mean of course they have the depth to win them all but I'm starting to think about what we happened to Southampton and West Ham when we last went up. Imagine if they come t...

At the other end of the scale, Gibraltar's inclusion in Euro 2016 qualifying meant Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One North side Farsley Celtic and Welsh Premier League outfit Bala Town took a share of the revenue. Does this mean that signing the entire first XI of Gibraltar for your res...

Well he has already gained us 2 points towards a top 6 finish - arguably he might have just as big an impact on our season as Grabban and Mutch so far!

Sutekh the long awkward journey from Count Durham

Sounds about right. If this takeover doesn't happen I'd expect another one along shortly. Reading is in many ways a prime club for a foreign investor Really? I mean I really hope so. But I think the list of charitable foreign billionaires who aren't fraudsters or money launderers is a short one - a...

If they wanted, could they just walk away from the club & its debts & keep the land they transferred to another company? I don't think so. They could try but there are laws that stop you doing that sort of thing (taking assets out of an insolvent company.) Otherwise everyone would be at it!...

Might be being thick here but I don't get that argument. Even with RFC subsidising the tickets the greedy ManU barstewards got their full £45 from each ticket Reading sold. Indeed had RFC not subsidised the tickets it is likely they would have sold less and therefore ManU would have made less money...

I think its understandable from United if we didn't agree our subsidy first. If Man Utd and Reading agreed £30 a ticket, Reading would have had far less revenue from their equal share of gate receipts. At £45 a ticket, Reading got the increased share from 70,000 Man Utd fans charged full price, mean...

Presuming these are the same accounts that the Evening Post did an article on the other day, I'll ask the same question that went unanswered on there: If we lost £15m this year, how come the debt only went up by £5.3m? . In order to comply with FFP, the Thais converted some of the loans due to them...

I always think this - but then I suppose I'm generally there if it is a home game. Away games against tough opposition are more likely to be on tv... Until Bristol City we hadn't won an away midweek game for over a year, and last nights defeat means I think that we have not won in 9 attempts, with 6...

I'm surprised at the criticism of Stam. We saw in the previous seasons how boardroom uncertainty can affect the squad - its got to. Right now, if Stam doesn't know who will be here or what the plan is, then none of the players know either. Anyone who thinks we have "one set of transfer targets ...

Being on Sky I would imagine they'll do everything possible to make sure the game goes ahead to completion. http://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/well-prepared-weather-reading-qpr-snow-forecast-3514639.aspx Club seem fiercely confident that the game will go ahead. The plan to grit after t...

Surely there is no hope of getting a work permit? At 25 years old with only 1 international cap, he is not going to fit the criteria. Everton needed a work permit for his twin brother, so no EU passport floating around. A quick google shows Everton argued he was an exceptional talent. Surely that is...

Stam is literally the anti-Adkins. Adkins never said anything. After a game he'd give you the match highlights whatever he was asked and then you'd get a load of PR spin saying precisely nothing of any note. You could play Adkins bingo. The top one was "the attitude and application of the play...
