tmesis Hendo tmesis What is this weird obsession we seem to have with behind closed doors/training ground friendlies?
Added cost of running an open stadium during preseason? Not only for us, but for the team(s) we are playing against.
Ah, that explains why no other teams play friendlies against teams at their stadiums when they go on tour.
Also it maybe due to not knowing what division Reading would be in therefore impacting where any tour would be and therefore also not being able to set the opposition until quite late. BBC Berks still provided coverage of the games that were behind closed doors last summer so hopefully they might pick one of them up this summer.
Agree it’s a bit of poor show from the club though.
Wonder what the “glamour” home friendly will be on 28th July? Bournemouth/Brighton or nothing?
