An update from STAR, Club 1871, Elm Park Royals, The Tilehurst End, and Proud Royals at a really worrying time for our Club.

The central recommendation of the Fan Led Review – the creation of an independent regulator – has been endorsed. STAR contributed to the Football Supporters Association (...

Les Chappell Les is in and picked up his award last September. Pat Earles not so much. Nice one.

Les is in and picked up his award last September. Pat Earles not so much.

Meeting now arranged with club for next month (Jan 2023) on club response to Fan Led Review.

Meeting with club on Fan Led Review now arranged for next month.

STAR met with Reading FC on 26 October to discuss a number of the most recent and pressing issues brought to us by members and non members alike.

Thanks to those who answered. We're working on the analysis and expect to give feedback later.

This is now closing on Thursday 29th - please have your say.

A great last induction event and a good turn out despite the M4 chaos. Good to see Lawrie Sanchez, Les Chappell, Mark McGhee, Ron Grant, and George Harris's widow there in person to receive their awards and a nice video link with Dylan Kerr, who obviously still has a soft spot for the club. Due to ...
