loyalroyal4life Interesting, has anyone ever seen a reading shirt/flag or anything related to the royals at an england match?

Seeing all those fans from millwall etc with their flags got me thinking that i cant recall anything relating to reading being seen at a game?


I swear last night there was a giant banner with the word Royals on it.. Not sure if anyone calls themselves the Royals and there was no RFC or anything like that though..

Yeah, there's this family with the surname Windsor, quite a fierce matriarch, they travel about quite a lot and have several homes in different places, a bit like gypos. Maybe it was them?

It was the RAF Royals flag that used to be deployed in the NE corner. Haven't seen it for a couple of years though.

RFCUK Slightly off topic, stumbled across Bramall Lane yesterday while driving through Sheffield to see a customer.. Bit of a shite hole to say the least..


bramall lane is a lovely stadium inside, and generates a good atmosphere too. Far better than the madejski stadium!

I was in a small hotel in Santa Barbara CA last summer, met a British couple, talked about football and..............he turned out to be a RFC STH who travels to every home game from Kent.

There's a very prominent one in footage of England v Argentina in 1998 when Sol Campbell has a goal disallowed. Just behind the goal.

Saw a Royals flag on TV whilst watching England v USA yesterday. Also, pretty sure there was a few pictures on here of a Reading flag at the 2006 World Cup.

My favourite Reading flag spot ever has to be at Tyson v Bruno - a huge Union Jack with 'Tyler's Rest Reading' painted crudely across the middle.

Lovely.
