All we can do is try what we can to help. That means finding a way to help with the shortfall, Selles and the team doing what they can on the pitch and Howe, Bowen et. al bringing bids to the table. I think we will actually get to the point where Dai is presented with credible deals for what is a ve...

I presume that Reading Phoenix will apply to the Combined Counties League and therefore start out in Division 1 against the likes of Windsor, Yateley and Rising Ballers Kensington Current CCL Div 1 Table And the team thread would move to the Non-League thread under General Football Surely we'd smas...

No doubt I'll keep my eye on the result, but once again the game barely seems to matter.

But if we're a lost bet with no prestige, why not accept £20m - £30m for us instead of going a route that leaves you with nothing? It's a lost bet either way, so may as well take a consolation prize.

£5k down, £995k to go.

It needs a handful of big hitters. We'll never get there with regular fans chipping in £20 or £50 each.

Beaconsfield - Southern League Premier Division South Dover Athletic - National League South How does it compare to the Combined Counties? Combined Counties Premier is ninth tier (non-league step 5). It's home to Reading City, Wokingham & Emmbrook, and Sandhurst Town. Woodley United and Windsor...

This feels like he deliberately wants to destroy the club . I don't think that's right. If that was the case he could have just liquidated on a whim ages ago. I do think that he doesn't really care any more, and just wants to offload in the way that will maximise the money he can claw back. Well th...

They'll all be looking on at us and saying 21st may be enough this year.

If Dai had businesses sense, he'd have sold us the moment we got relegated, before shit hit the fan and arguably when our value as L1 club would have been greatest. All behaviour since then has been totally irrational and suggests he's not motivated by his finances. This has been the worry all along...

Goalkeeper Matt Rowley who has been on loan at Beaconsfield has been recalled and moved to Dover Athletic on another loan. I take it that's a level higher than what he was playing at. Good luck to him. Beaconsfield - Southern League Premier Division South Dover Athletic - National League South How ...

We can also remember he was involved in the sale to Zingarevich and the absolute shambles that was throwing money at Burns to buy rubbish from Scotland for excessive amounts whilst Madejski was busy dodging tax, if you like. You mean the part where he was the CEO for the most successful era in our ...

Yes. Let's remember who was CEO when we sold to Dai, and who stayed on under him for a while. Admittedly the suggestion is he warned Dai what would happen and was ignored so walked. The Thais sold to Dai. It was not his decision. And as for his role under him, if an organisation you care about turn...

What are you guys on? we`ve got people at the club trying their hardest to keep it afloat with next to nothing coming in from the owner, it`s a minor miracle we`ve survived this long. This. The amount of shit that gets spouted about staff at the club and Howe when they should have never let us get ...

How is a deficit that big even possible? The Athletic reported in autumn that our monthly wage budget was c. £700k and that we before we got players like Ejaria, McIntyre and Holmes off it. There must be other creditor balances due. No idea how they do this. Perhaps a push on tickets can squeeze out...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bearwood sold to a Chinese company, probably one of that Dai has a stake in. An "advanced payment" (just enough to keep the club ticking over until RFC is no more,) Dai or his cronies, then own the stadium and training ground, Illegal in this country, probab...

Well, some news that's not bad news from Earnshaw: I've been doing a bit of asking around at the club. The consensus is March should be an outlier when it comes to the shortfall. The club are working hard & are due extra income from sources that are not available to them this month Bottom line ...
