traff Is Garcia a Keith Lemon fan?


I suspect the bandage was gifted to him by Tom Ince when he left the club

MR. CYNICAL No way were 22000 there today, watched on Royals tv and the East stand was nowhere near full, loads of empty seats visible in every stand in view of the camaras

Yeah, was well short of 20k

WestYorksRoyal What's the first priority of PSFs? No injuries....


Precautionary, Burns said he felt something so off he came for the very reason that you don’t take pointless risks in these games. A scan to check whether there is anything to worry about will follow Monday …

genome Enjoyed that, thought Reading played really well. Defended well first half, took the game by the scruff in the last half hour or so. Should’ve had a penalty.

A LOT of Spurs in the home end. Also, Van de Ven is a specimen


There was always going to be loads of them in the SJM. It's not really a big deal.

But wearing Spurs merch in the home end? That's a level of arrogance I find detestable. And, frankly, typical Spurs, who I irrationally hate to an absurd degree.


Do people still wear spurs though? You’d have thought some animal rights organisation would have got a government to ban them by now.

bakerlou Just got back

Ahmed, Camara were plusses - Ahmed in particularly looks keen as mustard, I'd be starting him v Portsmouth. Garcia was ok in places too. We should have had a pen in the second half after an obvious handball that the ref must have been blinded to. O'Mahoney's foul in the first half was a straight red from my handy vantage point of the other side of the ground.

Vuskovic and Kudus caught the eye for them.

We were in the UW, it was chock-a-block full of Spurs fans. Ended up chatting to a chap about different parkruns in southern England - he seemed to think Lydiard (ie Swindon) was his favourite which I thought was a bit niche.

We're badly short up front.


It’s being addressed, Bowler is six foot.

MR. CYNICAL No way were 22000 there today, watched on Royals tv and the East stand was nowhere near full, loads of empty seats visible in every stand in view of the camaras

Yeah, was well short of 20k

Over 20,000

It was half empty at kick off, with grim traffic around the ground and big queues to get in, plus as already posted the buses weren't on time.

After about 20 minutes in it was rammed.

It emptied very quickly too, especially after the announcement that there were only three trains back to town for the rest of the day and the first of those is leaving in five minutes

Yep there were loads of people still coming in, even 30 mins after kickoff!

The train situation was a joke. If they didn't leave early they had to wait more than an hour for the next one? (if I heard correctly). And only a total of 600 capacity for the two trains that would be leaving in the hours post the end of the game!

Traffic was also a nightmare. JJ and RC are going to have to work hard with the council and police to find solutions if they really do want circa 20K fans turning up to home games. As a minimum, traffic lights might need rephasing/manual control in the hour before and hour after the game.

And then they wonder why no-one uses public transport if it can be avoided. How much intelligence does it take to organise a Saturday timetable that takes into account that there’s a football ground near one of the stations :roll:

Kudos to the Nags Head bus driver who had heard there were major delays on the Relief Road. Took us on a major diversion through town and via Whitley Street/Basingstoke Road/Bennet Road. Made KO with plenty of time.
