Re: MATCHWATCH : Carlisle United (h)

Reading have only once lost at home to a non league club. I was at that game possibly one of the most depressing miserable experiences l can remember as a Reading fan. Anyone else on this board remember it? Bishops Stortford 1-2!!! in the mud. Remember it well - Yes a horrible experience, we were l...

Re: 50 Not Out

Brings back memories!! My first game 73/74 season, aged 7,verses Southport or Stockport. Think won 5-1 with Mr Friday getting three. Was at Tranmere 5-0 but cannot remember that goal although standing at front of South Bank towards Tilehurst End and probably in line with him. But do remember Minty M...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stockport County (h)

I was just wondering when we last played Stockport at home? I remember watching us thrash them 6-2 in what i believe was our first home game of the 1983 season. We were on the mighty Southbank :D and i just googled the attendance and it was just over 2600!! However it wouldn't show me any of the sc...

Re: Best player you've ever seen play against us

I felt James Milner vs Newcastle Utd in October 2007 showed he was much better than all the other players on the pitch when he came on as sub that day and turned a comfortable 2-0 scoreline into a scary 2-1 victory for us. Kitson did score a wonderful goal tbh. Michael Owen was awol on the pitch .

Has Robert Fleck been mentioned yet? . Words cannot describe his time at Reading. I known TB's seven have been collectively mentioned and some individually but cannot see his name yet?

Re: Low away attendances

I've always wondered about how many we took to Oxford in 1976 (?) It was an evening game between Xmas and New Year, lost 0-1 to a late goal, snow. I was on a supporters coach, but I counted very, very few Biscuitmen on the terraces. So it was left to me to chin the Oxford scum. Was there too and co...

Re: Favourite RFC sending off

Anybody else remember the `great` Bob Hazell against Barnsley, 1986 I think ? Got a feeling it was a against Rotherham (could be wrong). Seem to recall that Terry Hurlock should have gone a few minutes later. We ended up winning 2-1 :D Hurlock is this game was quiet comical esp after hicks' injury ...
