Rob followed me last night on twitter and we’ve been chatting over PM. We are working on a face to face where I can put some of this stuff to him. Less Louisiana days and more grass roots days…

Car parking. Car park six been closed a few games this season because they have been unable to negotiate a price with the owner. Loss of paper tickets Ticket office reduced hours and unable to book tickets over the phone The club shop has amazingly got worse since it came back to being in house. Sub...

so whats going on with Rushesha then. not in the first team, not in the u21's, not injured, not loaned out.

Most fans who are staying away will be blissfully unaware of how well the team is/isn't playing and probably only mildly aware of the league position - why? because they are floating fans - our hardcore is probably around what we are seeing now. The key difference is people are less likely to spend...

This is the first year for 10 years or so that I haven’t been sitting in the ED stand. Has it always looked so empty? Does feel something isn’t working there with the family stand - it’s not ticket prices because they are very cheap. Are the club interacting well enough with local kids and schools ...

Unfortunately, LR will be judged by RC on points accumulated this season and not entertainment rating.... i think tickets sold will also have a bearing. Serious Question: do League One managers have explicit KPIs linked to Tickets Sold? I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if that was the case, given how ...

It does feel that the biggest driver is the division we’re in, then perceived standing within the league then actual standing within the league. It’s mildly interesting that there’s a bump on actual promotion campaigns vs near misses (00-01 vs 01-02 where the gap is 1 position) but also 10-11 vs 11...

Marcel Washington lined up against Reading u21 tonight playing for arsenal. He’s the son of Ryan Bertrand

Brogue: You mentioned average attendances elsewhere - do you have the numbers to hand by any chance? this seasons average is 11,495... so far. only two seasons had fewer people through the door in the last 27 years (since we moved to the SCL). 1999 we had an average 11262 which we are close to losi...

It's a results business for Leam to justify his methods to the owner. For fans who attend to be entertained, it's not a results business. If all you care about is points accumulated, is football really for you? Rugby has more points in a game. Football is and has always been about being excited and...

Football is an entertainment industry. I, like many others, spend a lot of money to go watch my football team to have some fun. Meet with my friends, have a couple of drinks, sing some songs, shout at the ref, and celebrate goals. I don’t expect to win every week. I don’t expect us to play well ever...

2027

And I’ll add I fcuking called this from day 1 . Said he wasn’t the right person to take us forward and was called everything under the sun. Well now look. Lots of fans are turning. People are calling for his head. Fans are staying away. I’m not saying this to gloat I’ve been a Reading fc fan for 35...

Apart from this one, you don't like him do you Wooderz? :lol: Honestly Spizz I can’t stand the pcunt. Other than being an utterly shit manager there is something else about him that I can’t quite put my finger on. The way he talks, the way he looks, just sends shivers down me. I actually hate the m...

My memory fades (obviously, a man of my age etc :lol: ) But what was your take on some of our previous appointments?, Stam, Sir Steve, Pince etc, at least one of which had a horrendous start to work from and was less than successful in his early days. Nothing to see here. Pretty much supported all ...

Richardson being absolutely destroyed on twitter by local media. Ady Recording on bbc berks after Richardson interview https://x.com/rfclatest/status/2025264251971977670?s=46 Rami Still can't believe that interview... Leam Richardson emphasised that Reading did not have a second-half 'demise' and sa...

Should never have been appointed. Some people just don't want to hear the truth Yep. But fans are now waking up at last. It was the same when I started the pauno out thread everyone got on my back but I was right. I could spot it a mile off. Same with this appointment. From day one I knew it wouldn...

Just seen the highlights and their goal. Wtaf was that? Where was the defence - like any of them? Horrific. Had assumed it was some set piece or something How many teams regularly make substitutions on the back 4. We do it every game. Taking ward and Williams off in the last 20 mins means we have t...
