Was right behind Kelvin’s goal - a beauty of a curler!!! Those are the special moments we are fans for. Yep same - could see from the second he hit it where it was going Big fan of Kelv. Bizarre some of the nonsense writing him off on Twitter (yep realise that’s Twitter) etc. stuff he needs to lear...
Referee comically inept. Where do they find them? 2 of the worst decisions I’ve seen on a football field since Bodin getting sent off instead of Davies. Not to mention the 4th, who twice got in the way of players trying to take quick throws. That corner which he gave to us as a GK was unbelievable....
I completely agree with Stranded. We are a club that is still technically on the brink of liquidation so for me any new owners that can prove they have enough funds to keep us going for at least another 18 to 24 months get a big thumbs up from me. Yeah don't get me wrong - at this stage, anything i...
I really appreciate what SCL and other sponsors have done this year, but it does allow more procrastination. 7 days ago, my working assumption was we'd either have exclusivity and funding, or we'd be in arrears with HMRC which would mean 2 points deducted and a step closer to the endgame. Turns out...
You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems intent to make it, it really is in his best interests to sell. Agree wit...
The current stadium is in dire state of repair; leaking roofs, rust, brick work crumbling, drab concrete interior, etc; thus is going to require a good level of investment. Location has always been its achilles heel, but not sure the stadium is as bad as that. 26 years old and yep, a new lick of pa...
I'm not sure there's a site big enough to build a new stadium in the town centre. It's not just the footprint of the stadium that you have to consider so it's a complete non starter IMO. Quite. Think the only possibility is demolishing the Broad Street Mall and entirely reworking that end of Broad ...
Yes this is quite correct. Perhaps if the management had known what are they were doing and hadn't been playing random number formations this club might have been on the fringes of the play offs now. Apparently Reading would be 8th in the table if the season had started 20 games ago. Much as I thin...
Howe thinks deal may be concluded in May after the season ends - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68626876 Just hope we are still in L1. It does kind of feel that we haven’t really gone anywhere much in the last few months despite all the excitement over the weekend Were still waiting for dai t...
Reading FC's annual report is interesting in this regard: Number of players = 39. Number of "football management and coaching staff" = 74 Clubs needs mulitple coaches and managers for every one of their age groups. They need scouts for scouting transfer targets. They need scouts and analy...
Problem is that there are so many ex-pros and relatively few other football jobs. I assume that 74 covers all age groups. Obviously this and the fact that these jobs are generally pretty enjoyable jobs means that the pay is pretty poor. Doubt the average academy coach is on much more than minimum w...
It would stress me a bit, but some people on here are saying its worse for footballers than a nurse working in the NHS, which is patent nonsense. Furthermore, the career of a footballer sets them nicely up for coaching roles in football, punditry, being an agent, working behind the scenes in a form...
I still don't see why people have a grudge with Wycombe. Dai put up part of the club for sale. You can't blame Wycombe for being interested. Anyone who has an issue with the actual Wycombe team or fans over this need to have a word with themselves. Expect any Wycombe fans with any sense were pretty...
Just guesswork that it could potentially baulk the sale, nobody outside of the clubs knows, stop panicking. It’s a bit more than guesswork. It’s there in writing that it was for RFC use and Wycombe have said it’s on hold It may still go through of course but there’s obviously concern that it may we...
