Harold
alad Ugly? Possibly, sadest without doubt.

The anorak to fan ratio is alarmingly high at Reading games.


D3ffo! More anoraks than Roy Croppers wardrobe.


And the problem with anoraks is what .... exactly? :wink:

Re: What is wrong with you lot?

This is not meant as a criticism to those of you who have been a Supporter of RFC for longer than ten years, but it is true, we have never had it this good. So unless you have been a Supporter since the team were in the old 4th Division, then you have no right to criticise the team. When the only T...

Our ability at corners

Last season we seemed to be pretty lethal form corners, well if rerunning the Champions DVD is anything to go by. In the three games played this season we've significantly out-scored the opposition on corners .... Middlesbrough 8-2 Aston Villa 6-1 Wigan 10-4 .... and yet we don't seem to been a part...

When we play Watford we will beat the Wigan record as we would have played them in all 4 tiers of English football and in Div 3(s). I thought we might do something similar with Fulham, but we actually never faced them in Div 4. Just realised we can go one better than that ... When we play Portsmouth...

You just knew I couldn't resist ... didn't you!?!

46 games attracted 20k+ at EP, from 1920 to 1997. The Mad Stad has already had 35 20k+ games fro 1998 to 2006, and just for RFC games.

Re: Record Attendance

Anyway, I note that our record attendance is the 33,042 we had against Brentford I cannot believe that many people got into Elm Park. I've been in a 16k and that seemed packed solid. Anyone been in a 20k+ EP crowd? Several. Arsenal FAC4 in 71-2, Southampton LC4 78-9 I think, Sunderland FAC4 72-3 (j...

Re: John Madjeski....

Forbury Lion
The club's debt currently stands at £10million
I suspect John Madejski is the person the club owe this £10m to.

Re: John Madjeski....

The club's debt currently stands at £10million. Never knew the club was in that amount of debt, did anyone else? If this includes the debt for building the stadium then I'd say we are in pretty good shape, as this asset is worth much more than £10m. It also means that His Madj has been paid back (o...
