Guess how many away wins v top-flight clubs ever

[Fox Talbot]

Since there was a top-flight in English football - 124 years ago - RFC have now won 15 games on the grounds of top-flight clubs (excluding neutral venues, Simod Cup, war games etc).

It's not a lot, is it? 11 in the past decade as well!

I make it 8 in the PL (Newcastle, Derby, Boro, Bolton, Man City, Fulham, WHU, Sheff U), 4 in the FA Cup Everton 2011, Liverpool 2010, Notts Co 1902, Bolton 1901 and 3 in the League Cup QPR 2012, Leeds, 1997, Fulham 1964.

Challenge to BMD - make it 20 by the end of this season.

Given that our remaining away games this season are Stoke, Everton, Manure, Narge, Fulham and West Hoof that may be a tad hopeful. I'd be ecstatic if we could make it to 17 with a couple of draws thrown in.

Of course this does exclude cup games

[Silver Fox]

Have we really only got 6 away games left?

That's good for us I reckon

BTW you can exclude cup games all you want, I'm fairly sure we can only have 2 extra away games this season, with the semi and final both at wemberley

Saw it in the list - must've blanked it out after the 2 debacles at home this season

[Millsy]

We're all forgetting Bolton away.

[Reading4eva]

We'll draw against Stoke (there wobbling a little), beat Everton and West Ham (as we are obviously there bogey team) and might get something against Norwich and Fulham. If you presume, we draw against the final two at worst, that would be 9 points in the bag. That puts us on 28 points. Beat 3 of Southampton, Villa, Wigan, QPR and Sunderland at home, and we are home and dry.

Easy

Would I be right in thinkng that the 50,000 crowd at Newcastle is the biggest away crowd we have won in front of?

Weren't we technically the away side for the Simod Cup Final so that would surely be the biggest - I know it's a bit dubious

Very dubious as it was a nuetral venue.

Can't think of a bigger one. It may even be in the top 10 crowds ever to watch Reading, certainly in the top 20. When we lost at Newcastle in 1969 the crowd was 41,000 and I believe that was the biggest ever to watch Reading at that point in our history.

'Recent' crowds over 50,000 - from top of mind - Simod CF, 3 x play off finals, Man U away x 3, Arsenal away x 2, Newcastle away x1 ....?

Taken from Hob nob fixtures page the attendance for Newcastle this season was 49,441.
