Wikipedia I know but this doesn't list us as having had to apply for re-election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-election_(Football_League)#Third_Division_North_and_South


It's correct. It was only ever the bottom two in each of Div 3 S and Div 3 N. When Div 4 came about in 1958-9 it was then the bottom four who had to re-apply.


Correct, Reading have never had to apply for re-election to Division 3S or Division 4 (or even Division 3N) as those divisions did not exist in season 1920-21. That season Reading were competing in Division 3.


Top football pedantry! And even when playing in Division 3 in 1920-21 Reading still didn't have to apply for re-election.

Jackson Corner 1920-21 our 50th anniversary we finished 3rd from bottom of division 3 South and I believe this was the only time the club has had to appeal for re election, fortunately in those days it was bit of a closed shop so the bottom 3 survived.
1970-71 season our 100th anniversary we were relegated from the third to the 4th Division on goal difference.
2021 150 years :(


We’ve never had to apply for re-election. It was only the bottom two in Div 3S who needed to.

Well I did Check on wiki And the table for div four
that season had the bottom three highlighted and said the bottom 3 applied re election. Although I have read a few books on the history of RFC and I don’t recall seeing anything about applying for re election.

John Smith We 100% won't be relegated this season and anyone to suggest so simply is not a supporter.


Of course I don’t want to see us get relegated and technically our anniversaries are the season after it was just meant as a bit of fun. Having said that I am worried there maybe a hangover from last season, not to mention our thread bear squad is a worry especially if we start picking up injuries to senior players.
And not to mention we have looked rank in our pre season games let’s just hope we see something positive from the Palace game.

Whether or not Reading actually applied, the club finished in the positions that would normally “qualify” them for having to do so. However, because of the plans to admit the leading northern clubs into the football league that summer, the process was presumably “suspended” for season 1920-21 so no clubs were ever in danger of expulsion from the FL that year (which more than likely explains the poor position :lol: 8) ).

More footy pedantry: Reading got relegated in 70/71 on goal average. Goal difference was not introduced to the Football League until 1975.

Meites power and strength up top, Olises goals and assists and Richards at left back will be big misses, however, our strongest line up should be to good to avoid relegation, even though i truly do not believe in to good to go down!!
Azeez might be good enough as cover for Meite and Olise but i dont see him having the 15-20 goals that the pair scored between them last season.
My biggest concern would be cover for any injuries which will happen!! and our two most injury prone players are probably our most influential.
These next three weeks or so in the free market are critical in how our season will pan out. If we can aquire a few shrewd signings as cover i believe mid table will be comfortable. If no one comes in then i believe we could be in trouble, especially if Swift and Joao pick up injuries.

If I remember correctly, one of the good thing about free agents (other than being free!) is that you can sign them outside the transfer window. Traditionally,, the bad thing is that by the time the window slams shut all the good one will have been snapped up but perhaps that will be less true this year?

Not checked but I'd imagine we'd still have been relegated on goal diff....we took some heavy beatings that season

Yes, would not have made a difference. Conceded 85 that season. Oof. Conceded 77 the season before, but Jack Mansell's forward line scored for fun (87). The goals dried up and the outcome was inevitable.

At least Mansell stuck to his promise to take us out of Div 3 :lol:
