I'm a Huddersfield fan who has recently moved to Maidenhead from that there London. Thrilled for both our teams to have made it to Wembley, but it does leave me with a slight travel issue! I was wondering if I could pick your brains about your recent experiences of train travel into London for your previous Wembley visits, specifically:
a) Am I being naive in thinking I'll simply be able to walk down to Maidenhead train station at say, 10am, and actually be able to fit on a London bound train without it being absolutely rammed?; and
b) What kind of reaction might I reasonably expect from those on-board if I rock up in my Town shirt? I'd love to think that there might be a handshake or two and a bit of pre-match banter, but not sure I could hand-on-heart say that that would be the experience of a Reading fan if they were travelling to the game from Huddersfield.
Thanks in advance for your help, and see you all at Wembley.

You'll be grand. Your other option would be to go from Wycombe, direct to Wembley.

About as angry as any Huddersfield fan got was one lad who announced "we're going to rip up t'pitch and plant tatties next season"

He was manager for 7 days 18 March 1998 to 25 March 1998 before being replaced with Tommy Burns, he then replaced Burns 16 September 1999 to 9 September 2003..... in hindsight, we should have appointed him instead of Burns.BerksTerrier wrote:Had a soft spot for Reading since we beat you 2-0 (I think) in 1998 during your last season at Elm Park when Pardew was in charge, maybe as caretaker initially.
