Re: What got you into supporting RFC?! And when you did who was your nearest team?

Generations of family on both sides are from Reading and Berkshire but there was never any interest in football, everyone was and still is into motorsport and I’m still the only one who watches football. I got into football during the World Cup in 1998 (aged 11) and after needed a club to say I supp...

Re: Stewards - "siiiiit down!!!"

I understand that one is supposed to be seated, what I don't understand is why the stewards are leaving it until the 20th minute (Barnsley) or the 35th minute (Brentford) to actually enforce it, and rudely.

Re: BFTG - Leeds

A poor performance but I don't agree it was as bad as all that. Tactics were a bit negative but there were still glimmers of some improvement from the performances of 2-3 months ago. Hopefully this result will only be a blip between now and the end of the season for what is an improving side. Person...

Re: When are West Berks Brewery back?

Re: Singing problem

I think it's important that it's the fans who are behind this rather than the club (I don't think there's anyone who wants the days of Rumblestix and clappers to return...) but to do so it's going to take a few extra people who want it to improve swallowing their pride and having a sing. It's not as...

Re: Singing problem

It's obvious that the atmosphere in the ground has become increasingly sterile over the last 2-3 years. As others have mentioned this is probably due to the frequently uninspiring football on offer, but the main reason seems to be the unwillingness of many to join in. For a large number of people in...
