Feedback from the players is that the atmosphere in all areas of the ground has greatly improved in recent months. Regarding C1871, the players feel the noise can be improved even more so if the fans stand closer to the pitch, so with that in mind, the C1871 flag/banner has been moved to the top of ...

Cracking result for Boro last night. Hopefully Villa can do the same tonight with Rotherham.

We can expect anything from Norwich this evening. It’s all about the local ‘derby’ with Brentford this Saturday. Cannot wait!!

There is going to be a huge shake up this summer, which ever League we’re in. Some ‘big’ names will be heading away to reduce the wage bill and to provide the manager with funds to improve the squad. The Oliveira fee that’s reportedly been agreed won’t be cheap, neither will his wages be. He’ll be a...

We have some real numpties on here. The bottom line is the club endorse it. Having been in there all season I can say without any shadow of doubt that I am enjoying going to games again. I can stand without some pleb telling me to sit down, I can move around, and have a sing song and oxf*rd smile a...

To be perfectly honest I can barely hear C1871 during games. Bar a few times when that drum they have becomes audible. I've always said they'd be better in amongst the fans winning hearts and minds and they have therefore created their own problems a little bit by isolating themselves in that part ...

Literally the worst idea I have ever heard. Reading supporters doing what they always do, living on past glories. The group of people behind Club 1871 have by their own admission never even stood in the South Bank. They cannot and will not comendeer the name. Those behind the initiative might not h...

Sounds like Derby owners are considering doing what our owners have by selling the stadium to themselves to beat FFP.

Bolton not the only club with the same issues regarding paying staff and players. Bury, Macclesfield and Oxford all in the same boat. Tiger is doing a marvellous job at Oxford, God bless him!

The Enfield Royal71 I think Club1871 will be better received by the masses if we are allowed to take weapons and alcohol in that part of the stadium.

Been itching to try my new chinese flamethrower and flares out.

By the sounds and looks of it, Y25/Y26 need your help more.

Deal agreed with Norwich, and it sounds like terms with the player won’t be a problem. That deal I would imagine will be the bulk of our transfer budget in terms of perm deals.

Once the South Stand initiative took off it was always going to become another Y25/26, despite the idea being to be 100% team focused. At the end of the day we all want extra noise and in that respect it’s been a success and continues to grow. There is already sifficient netting between the away fan...

Tickets selling well in general for Saturday's visit of PNE, and the South Stand at around 400 thus far. Preston expecting around 1800 as well.

paultheroyal Brilliant how this initiative has really grown and from what I have heard the likelihood that's is here to stay with added incentives to move to the south stand from next season. Well done all.

This is most certainly the case. Nigel Howe is a big supporter of the initiative!

NewCorkSeth His contract is up this summer.. would you take him back?

Nope.

Nigel Howe is very supportive of this initiative and it would be a big surprise if it didn’t continue next season. All indications thus far are that it will continue.

Ground FiLOLLOLed up. If the attendance is much more than 18k Ill be shocked. Once again you have spectacuarly missed the point Ian. The people who are going in the South are there because Y24/25/26 are full, probably with Leeds supporters. They therefore have no option to sit in the south, they ar...

The numbers will increase in the South Stand as with all stands when results/performances improve. There really is no need for any negativity towards the initiative as we all want the same thing, and that is a better atmosphere inside the ground. @DolanStand works with their supporters to improve th...

I'm guessing that if the club went into liquidation or administration the ground would be protected??? STAR saw to it that the Madejski Stadium was registered as a Community Asset and therefore protected, however what that means when the football club relinquishes ownership of it I don't know. All ...

If we stay up then we’ll exercise the option to sign Oliveira and that will swallow the bulk of the budget. Jose has been told to look at 4-5 academy grads to bring through, and Southwood is the likeliest number one next season if he takes his chance in pre-season. AJ is free to leave, Mannone won’t...

They were great against Rotherham and made for the best atmosphere for a while. Is there anyway to get a ticket in there if you're not a season ticket holder? Any member card holder can purchase a ticket in the South Stand, whilst any STH can also move their seat to the South for a game whenever th...
