RG30 New ground, preferably with a very small away end allocation so we can all have a scramble over tickets.

Truro then (if they get through)

That's a long way to go!

Not for me it's not!

Millsy If you multiply this year (2025) by when we were founded (1871) and then square root the result you interestingly get 1946*, which just so happens to be the year of our biggest ever league win (10-2 against Crystal Palace).

WestYorksRoyal Can anyone on here play CB?

Only 5'7, I'd probably struggle.

I'm 6'4 but my knees have gone....

Snowflake Royal My only prediction is that some of our traveling support should take their tenor lady with them.

Are you saying they need help with their singing?

Doing the work i couldn't be bothered to do. I was at the Vale game as well :lol: Piece of piss to look him up on Soccerbase. He looks like his confidence is shot, and as you say, no standout attributes. He's leathered a few good shots, but none of them have really got that close to going in betwee...

morganb If we're looking for a new manager, why look any further than the dad of one of the current players? It worked out really well last time...

Silver Fox Where do these super entitled people get their sense of entitlement from? We're not exactly historically successful. Were they all born after 2005 and think we deserve to be in the PL or something?

I suspect a lot of them were born after 2005......

morganb George Puscas available on a free as just been released by Bodrum

windermereROYAL When they choose Port Vale over us you have to think he prefers life up north.

This is such an arrogant, stuck up mindless thing to say

Not a bad area around Stoke and Port Vale - however, not sure I would want to live there

Brogue Plenty of interest in him but his father has advised him to stay and not chase the big bucks as that will come in the future. He told him the best place for him for the time being is here, getting first team football.

Nice to hear

Sorry to be pedantic but we aren't playing Swindon Town; we are playing Ian Holloway's Swindon Town, that new team formed when a famous ex player/manager joins a team as their manager. (see also Frank Lampard's Coventry City, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle) and which is always referred to as such i...

Sutekh So, have Reading had a spectacular transfer window or not? Or do we need to wait for the season to be over before deciding?

I think a balanced view https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2025-26-analysis-opinion-reading-fc-royals/49954/unpacking-readings-summer-2025-transfer-window

I must say I have enjoyed reading this thread. At the end of the day, football is all about opinions and I can see that many people on here disagree about a lot of aspects of Saturday's match from individual player's performances to the team performance. I can't comment personally as I was only list...

rabidbee But if O'Mahony is out on international duty, who's going to score the goals?

Marriott, Ehibhatiomhan and if Brogue is right, another striker in the pipeline.

I think that was somewhat tongue-in-cheek....

Are we any clearer on when Paudie's due back?

Out for 3 weeks 3 weeks ago so likely at least another month yet.

Apparently training on grass

More so than bench sitting or U23s here. And at this point he's looking 4th choice behind O'Connor, Burns and Williams. But you need at least 4 CBs over a season and would be good for him to stay here as an understudy and get the odd runout. O'Connor, Burns, Williams and Ferguson would make 4, plus...

Although I'd love to see Ahmed get a chance, Abrefa has been our best player, no way he loses his place. Agree. Ahmed gets at least 1 more LC game, at least 3 Trophy games and at least 1FA Cup game. Plus, any games where Abrefa gets injured, or drastically loses form. He should get a solid 10 - 15 ...

South Coast Royal

Millsy Rather have a laminectomy.

Have had one of those.

Even though I'm curious, I'm not going to google that!
