I find it a bit of an "eye rolling" thing to say that "I don't have a connection with the club" when you don't even go. I had a season out and like you I just felt a disconnect. I didn't know the players, barely knew the squad, I wouldn't have recognised them in the street, etc....

I was in and around The Oracle last weekend before Wembley, and you wouldnt have known the club were a few days away from one of the biggest games in years! Works both ways IMO, thought a few shops would at least have a 'Good Luck Reading' banner in their window etc

jar95 and people wonder why are support is rubbish

You must be a NEMSA with spelling like that.

I'm actually embarrassed by that rookie mistake

and people wonder why our support is rubbish

oxf*rd all you so called plastic fans Non of you could have stepped out in front of 80+ thousand people and took one. We had OUR DEFENDERS take two penalties. Why don't you try and man up and be taking one?! Non of them are scapegoats they are 20 odd year old footballers who had the balls to get ou...

TBM Phoned the ticket office

They aren't answering any questions regarding the play off final

Someone else want to try?

Just wait and speak to somebody, that's what I done

windermereROYAL So a STH can get 2 tickets tomorrow. does that mean he can purchase his own plus a ticket for a non-member?

Think we need to be sure at the back, 5 at the back and then Evans.. then have the option to bring in Kelly for the home leg to be more creative

voted for Villa for a number of reasons, huge result after the awful game at Norwich, dominated the game and was the game I was confident we would finish in the play offs. Also a special note to the first half/hour of Barnsley away, who were 2nd (?) at the time and looking really good and we went th...

pwb Come on, give me a good reason why RFC should avoid FFC in the semi's?

I agree, we are 3rd, deserve to be 3rd and have been in the play offs since October - teams should be wanting to avoid us

Top Flight We have had higher priorities than Gunter because when you already have the best right back in the league there isn't a better right back that you can sign.

like I said, people like to blame easy targets.. I and TF will miss Gunter when he goes

Corrected for you.

Top Banter

the fact that all the previous managers havent properly tried to replace Gunter (except S. Kelly possibly) says a lot.. and Watson has played what 90 mins of first team football and you'd replace a player with 400+ appearances for that? nothing against watson, i want him to do well.. Watson's playe...

He'd quickly become the new scapegoat I think. Couldn't stop Reading conceding 2 against Leicester, or Chelsea, in the last two U23 games he played - and we all know how influential the rightback/right wing-back position is, so it was clearly his fault. :lol: In all seriousness, I wish he'd been gi...
