Ah. A bit earlier than I had thought. It was summer of 1976, just after we got promoted from Div 4 and not long after H&P shut down. There was a competition and fans sent in suggestions. Manager Charlie Hurley was the judge (!) and picked the Royals. The club then sold silk scarves at the start...
That is good news Yep good news. Eddie on twitter said last week 3 year deal was sorted and the only delay was Tmac being on hols in Portugal. Low was saying as recently as Monday the situation was stalemate. He's useless, no contacts at all, and never says anything positive, why is a Portsmouth fa...
getreading reporting tmac has signed a new deal. woohoo That is good news Yep good news. Eddie on twitter said last week 3 year deal was sorted and the only delay was Tmac being on hols in Portugal. Low was saying as recently as Monday the situation was stalemate. He's useless, no contacts at all, ...
So - on the basis of what Eze, Bellingham, Watkins and Benrama were sold for last summer, what would we get for Olise assuming the £8m clause isn't in place. I get all have done well this season and proved decent signings but all were unproven at top level when sold last summer and I'm convinced Oli...
My son supports Arsenal. We left Reading when he was 4 and have been in Sussex for 20+ years. I am not one of those that says you have to follow your old man's club, you make your own decisions in life. Quite honestly, I'd rather he supported them than Brighton which is the nearest professional club...
So not that I would insult many of the old Reading fans out there but, I know nothing of Percy Freeman but considering he played for us when we were a lower league side and how much football has progressed since then, I feel pretty confident saying that Meite is substantially better. As an older fa...
Chatting to a couple of the players on Sat, and they're expecting him to still be here next season. Which, unless he signs a new contract, is pretty bad news. Either they get him to sign a new contract or they sell him, there's no middle ground here. If they keep hold of him in some vain attempt to...
Bolton was worst by a mile, pretty much due to what's been said and at the time it did feel like our once in a lifetime shot at the top tier had gone. FWIW I think we would have played at Elm Park if we'd won as I believe there was a three year grace period to get the necessary number of seats insta...
From Lincoln City LNER Train of Fame Bio: Percy Freeman Percy Freeman He played as Number 9 through David Herd’s management of Lincoln City, but when Graham Taylor took over as manager, Percy was sold to Reading for a reported £11,500. Percy then returned to City two years later having had a mixed ...
windermereROYAL Kamil Grosicki released by West brom, he did well at Hull, wide player too. wouldn't mind him here. And Charlie Austin but I suspect he is QPR bound.
he must have been on a short contract, only signed Jan last year. Agree, would be an excellent signing, destroyed us up there once
Actually made a bit of a profit on Bacuna which certainly improves that signing a bit But yes a pretty dreadful set of signings that Clement’s weren’t great either - what was it - Yiadom - yes very good, Meyler, Baldock. Anyone else? Last two prob cost a pretty big whack as well Pretty sure we'd be...
I hate to be ageist (especially at my age) but we should not be considering anyone over 30 for big wages (and Taylor is going to expect big wages). And yes, I know that Jimmy Quinn and Ian Harte are the exceptions that prove the rule Doubt Harte was on big wages seeing as he signed for us from Leag...
