Started taking my two lads when they were 4 and they are now both proper fans who travel the country following the team. In the early days it was best to get there close to kick off so there was no time for boredom but they were both fully into the football in no time at all.

McIntyre has released his goodbye message on Instagram and Twitter. I stay on social media to keep up to date, but I must say I hate the football fans on there. Calling him Judas etc., when he's been a servant in our toughest times and has secured an excellent move for his career while he is a new ...

I believe they are safe standing seats rather than unavailable. A number of people, me included, are waiting for more central blocks to go on sale. Seems a bit odd putting the worst seats on sale first for those with most points but shouldn’t be an issue with 2,000 tickets available.

The other problem with a boycott is that a lack of money in will just hurt the staff for more missed payments, points deductions for us, maybe more redundancies, and might cause a successful winding up order. I suspect this is what the club statement is referring to with regard to impact on staff. ...

Banned from football puts the selling process in the hands of the administrator, best offer wins taking into account the creditors. Dai's dept is mainly to himself so really Admin is the best outcome at the moment, which is why certain parties are holding back and not getting into a bidding scenari...

If there is genuine thought between the asset stripping plan, noting I don't think Dai ever has a plan, it would be to sell all players and academy prospects you can extract money from and sell Bearwood separately to the club. Then you try to get what you can for a shell of a L2 club plus the SCL, ...

Boycott is completely meaningless. 90+% of fans have already paid for their tickets. With regard to the impact of abandonment, It depends on what you think the Dai mindset is. Now his Prem dream has gone I don’t think he gives a monkeys about the football team. He just wants to asset strip which is...

Would rather people boycotted games than got another one abandoned. The protest was losing support the longer it went on and doing it again and again would make the fanbase more and more fractious Boycott is completely meaningless. 90+% of fans have already paid for their tickets. With regard to th...

I know I've kind of already made this point in my responses to others but I think it needs emphasising. Reading Football Club is on the verge of extinction. It's not just about the possibility of us falling into league two because of points deductions, there's a very real possibility the club won't...

I understand the frustration but feel that pushing the abandonment was against the best interests of the team (given how they've regained form). We now risk (at worst) a points deduction, fine and being behind closed doors or (at best) playing the fixture again but at a time when Dai has sold off t...

Cheltenham were very well organised as you might expect with a proven manager at this level. High line, sweeper keeper and every pass was a forward pass mainly into full back areas from where they won the second ball and put it into our box. Could easily have been 6-0 before we scored and credit to ...

Complete shambles. Regardless of how many tickets we take the simple insurance policy against chaos / discontent is the points system. Whoever came up with this method of sale is probably standing in a dark room facing the wall at this precise moment. Or writing their resignation letter...

Paul Ince has only "improved" us back to the level we were at for the first 3rd of the season in that we would finish 17th in both periods based on points per game. Based on the middle section form we would be relegated. On the one hand you have to give him credit for the change in momentu...

When I was watching Cheltenham Town players bust a gut today it really hit home. Their players won’t be on a fraction most of our lot are on but they worked their hearts out to close down and press the opposition. Then I see the highlights of today’s latest capitulation with opposition players in a...

In some ways the nightmare is to stay up, lose some of our better players, yet still be under spending restrictions and be unable to replace them. The thought of us having to play a full championship season with a team not much better than the one we put out at Kidderminster is frightening. Much be...

Does anyone know 1. Do Reading F.C have an HR department and internal code I’d conduct ? 2. Can public statements about current / ongoing employees such as this one be made under employment law without consequences ? My knowledge in this field is limited but I wonder if this leaves the club open to...

Some of our “fans” also managed to produce a performance of epic proportions. Flare man has already been mentioned but the clown that launched a 6ft by 3ft advertising board down the terrace into the back of another fans head at half time was probably the star of the show. Not the best of days for R...

If a pay rise clause in Rino's contract was true then hopefully the sale of just one player, be it Puscas or Rafael for example, would be enough to see us able to meet that as well as ensure we can keep Holmes signed on as well. This is pretty much how I see it playing out. I would expect some play...
