Another option, slightly closer is the SARA charity shop at the stadium end of Bennet Road. You can be back to the car and away before the buses have left the stadium. Costs a tenner but does get full quite early. Probably need to get there at least 30 mins before KO.

We need another big crowd for this one repeat the kids offer let’s get another 20000 crowd so important for the players I read somewhere that there was a raffle yesterday involving the various schools in attendance where there were prizes of blocks of 50 free tickets for the Wigan game so with this...

What a relief. I had a real concern that yesterday was going to be the first of the actual final steps into relegation and the end of the Madejski era, in that the 106 record would go. In particular it would also vindicate Warnock's view of Burnley being the best team he'd ever seen at this level, ...

I remember we went on a pre-season tour to South Korea to increase our fan base there. We did have Son playing for us at the time which helped. You mean Seol presumably That's a real shame, a 14 year old HMS would have been brilliant - and we'd have been able to gain a few quid from selling him SKH...

He's already had a yellow card - are you suggesting more ? Yes needs to be retrospective action for Robertson. Mitrovic shoved a ref, Robertson was going to grab the lino and indeed did start to grab his arm. Needs to be looked at and a ban issued. The PL have got a great chance here to stamping th...

Anyone know what that fan said to Carroll afterwards to rile him up? It was really difficult to know how to respond to that. It wasn’t worthy of booing, as the performance was ok. But the 2nd half performance was not good enough, partly due to the players being knackered. So I didn’t think it was w...

But both of them are Phoenix clubs after the old entity went bust. So they're effectively new clubs on the way up rather than old clubs on the way down. This prompted me to look up Scarborough (Mrs is from there and we may retire to that part of the world in the next year or so). Can't believe it w...

Chester & Darlington both in the 6th tier. But both of them are Phoenix clubs after the old entity went bust. So they're effectively new clubs on the way up rather than old clubs on the way down. This prompted me to look up Scarborough (Mrs is from there and we may retire to that part of the wo...

Following on from the Muratti Vase thread I came across this little gem the other day

Oops, not international football General Football thread

NathStPaul His appointment will be mocked but he will 100% keep them up.

With their run in I believe Viera would have done the same. They play all the teams in and around them plus Spurs of the "top" teams.

Whilst out and about yesterday I caught a bit of the Adrian Chiles radio show on 5 Live. He was doing a piece on games you have never watched again and there was a call from a Reading fan (maybe a ‘nobber?) regarding the 95 PO final immediately followed by a Bolton fan. If you can bear to dredge up ...

Seen red cards given for that sort of challenge. Ref bottled it.

Commentator on MOTD tonight for the Fulham Forest game pre match.

Fulham have been struggling in front of goal lately, no goals in the past 3 games and no wins during this run. Really!

First game 1969 but did not bother with ST in the Elm Park Days, played local park football so only went early/late season and midweek games. Used to blag my way in for the odd half game if we had a 2pm ko at Prossie Park. Got my first season ticket "off plan" from the protakabin on the bu...

The PL Cup last 16 draw has been done and the Royals U21’s have been drawn away to Arsenal U21’s. The match is being played at Meadow Park Boreham Wood on Friday February 3rd KO 7pm. Is the record against Arsenal at academy level as awful as it is at first team level? I recall a game at Cantley a g...
