What do you find most embarrassing about the club?

[madreadingfan]

Just intrigued which 3 would come top, pretty pointless thread. I would of had an option of 'All of above' but I thought that would be near the 90% mark.

I only picked "goal music" a lot of the rest of it may not be for me but they are catering for everyone.

Goal music

I am also embarrassed at being told to say URZZZ by the big screen

But I Can't say I see anything wrong at being told how pronounce Madejski properly - isn't it just good manners to say someone's name correctly?

Apart from this i went with atmosphere, has to be one of the poorest in the FL

Don't really understand this whole embarrassing thing.

We are what we are and people from other clubs can make fun of that and call us names all they want but the fact is they don't like us because we've been successful in recent years and they can't take it.

Utterly stupid threads like this are the biggest thing to be ashamed of. Are we the most insecure, self loathing set of fans in the country ?

As a contrast one of the things I like most about us (as a 'club') is the way we almost always give ex players and managers a bit of respect prematch.

It's very rare that a player who has played for us isn't given a round of applause (we seemed to miss Halford's name being read out though). Many other clubs it seems to be routine to boo anyone who has played for you and then had the cheek to move on.

I have also thought this and always think it a shame the away team is now read out long before the sides emerge so the ex player doesn't totally appreciate the sentiment. Intriguing to see if this "respect" is awarded to Mr Mills on Saturday!

As to the poll - Dont give a shiny one what what others think of us, although the goal music is cringeworthy.

But everyone does it....

Far worse IMHO are the clubs with supposed amazing tradition who now have to 'fake' the atmosphere. Yes, that's you Liverpool and West Ham... your fans could probably manage to sing your iconic club songs without you helping via the PA

Agree with this. Very disappointed with Anfield for this reason.

Anfield is very quiet, but if you are referencing YNWA, this has been played over the PA for over 50 years, it's hardly a new thing.

Didn't realise that.

Doesn't alter the fact that it sounds awful, possibly it was OK when the ground was full of scousers rather than tourists.

Aren't you contradicting yourself a bit if you're saying you're embarrassed of this thread?
