Re: Pre Season games 2025/6

We won't get relegated, yes their are some good teams in this division and a few throwing around good money to try and buy their way to the top just like Birmingham did however, their are also a fair few weak and mediocre teams in this league!! We need to bolster our attacking line and now we know t...

Re: Probable transfer nonsense - Knibbs leaving

After todays performance we'll need to spend every bit of that money as our attack has been dismal all preseason with very little attacking intent or even shots on goal!!

Re: Pre Season games 2025/6

Any ideas of tickets sold for tomorrows game against Pompey? Should be more desirable the the Swansea games we used to get every final pre season!
Would expect a fair few traveling from the South coast so maybe anywhere from 6,000 to 9,000?

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Abraham Kanu going on season-long loan at Forest Green Rovers. Good move for him but leaves us short of cover at CB and so I assume we are going to add at least one more experienced player there. Liam Fraser our new Canadian signing from yesterday can also play CB if needed as well as his main posi...

Re: Liam Fraser

Trying to get some knowledge from this side of the pond in Canada. Most say he's dependable, solid, physically strong and a good organizer! he will not be your star player but is a "Steady Eddie" in the team and a good squad player to have. I'm fine with a squad player as we need depth and...

Re: Spurs friendly

Overall thought we did ok against far superior opponents whose team of stars worth 100s of millions against our team who only have just been able to sign players again since like forever :D , Kudus alone cost them 55 mil however after watching his second half cameo he looks pretty special. The first...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Bowler should be an excellent player at this level, not sure if he is left or right wing but should give us an extra dimension up top and a significant upgrade on big kelvin or Chem Campbell. Would like to see a big unit of a forward added as a plan B as a target man for these crosses into the box, ...

Re: Spurs friendly

Finally a break from playing Swansea as our showcase pre season friendly!!! where we struggled to get 4,000 fans in the stadium. The Portsmouth friendly is pretty good also :D I remember hosting Newcastle Utd a while back 2-2 draw i think and pretty sure we had nearly 18,000 in for that game so ther...

Re: Pre Season games 2025/6

Watched the game on Royals TV, thought we looked pretty solid first half with them coming closest with a header against the bar. Second half was a bit of a borefest due to 11 changes from each side. Fair result overall. Both our keepers didn't have much to do so hard to judge really. Our biggest tas...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Loving that we're building the squad with young hungry players who seem to have bags of potential!! My only slight concern would be getting these new guys to gel together ready for what is a pretty tough set of fixtures over the first month and a bit!! The midfield should be fine with no new faces b...

Re: Fixtures 2025/26

One of my favorite memories as a Reading fan was the Plymouth game! we got battered for 60mins and then one goal changed the whole game. Amazing atmosphere in the South Bank for the last 30mins :D :D :D 100%. Never gone home from a game so pissed wet through, with the biggest smile on my chops. I s...

Re: Fixtures 2025/26

Plymouth away on a Boxing Day is pretty disgusting. Long trip to do I remember a Christmas away visit to Plymouth in 87. Gail force wind and horizontal rain blown into our faces for 90 minutes. We won 3-1. A repeat would be nice. As an aside, I used to go up Prospect Park and play footie with the C...

Re:

Perhaps this year it should be taken in the Jazz Cafe or the bar of one of the players locals. Then they could all lounge about leaning on posts and stools and looking like male fashion catalogue models from the 1970s/1980s. Maybe on top of a huge rotating 200ft x 200ft Huntly & Palmers Biscuit...

Re: Next seasons kit choice?

Its a kit that will grow on you and to be fair it is unique and has the heritage and culture aspect nailed down :D , but in all honesty the kit could have been Pink and Yellow and modelled by Mr Blobby and i really wouldn't have cared because we have a club to support!!!! Now next years could be int...

Royal Ginger Excellent bit of business. Going to be hard pressed to top that during the off season. Delighted.


One of either Savage staying and Mbengue signing a new contract and that would be amazing!!! Both would be surreal!!!
