... My one criticism of NH was that when the time came to push on in 2007 he couldn't really think big enough - but that's also something to be held against SJM , especially as there wasn't the money to do what they needed due to the latter's publishing and property failures. Would actually say tha...

Reading 0 QPR 0 in 2013 was an awful performance given both teams needed a win to keep any hope of safety alive Reading 1 Burton 2 on our 500th game at the Mad Stad in front of a bumper crowd after a big build up 1-1 against 8 man Yeovil in 2014 Wolves 3 - 0 Reading in 2018 under Jaap Stam was awful...

Would appear from the plans it will be rather more difficult to expand the stadium in the future?

There was nothing wrong with the atmosphere pre-C1871. The same people who made noise in Y26 just moved over. But with a worse view. And a significant cost to the club to reconfigure the away end. It was a vanity project nothing more as evidenced by the attention seeking fella who runs it throwing a...

RoyalsTV site hardly covering itself in glory either, no line ups given, no stats provided - I know it’s only a PSF but surely they should be “selling it” to those few punters that tune in, in the hope they come back sometime? Those who hounded Tim, Ady and Mick out got what they wanted. Passionate...

The decision to extend Yiadom’ss contract looks more baffling by the day. Unless its a pay as you play deal

I don’t mind going into bat in defence of our Tim He is probably the entire Venn diagram of sports journalists with commentary experience who are also lifelong Reading fans Would you rather a Jamie Theakston type Heart Radio focus group approved presenter from out of town?

Now those “legal technicalities” make a lot more sense Completion meant: Redwood Stadium had to purchase the SCL from Prestige Fortune Asia, a deal requiring specialist counsel in its own right (BVI domiciled company) Redwood Investments had to purchase c. £200m worth of debt from Renhe Sports Manag...

Worth noting that Narin the Thai is out - he was only here for the car park! There's some convoluted scheme whereby the car park is shared between four different companies and RFC, in Dai's time, had a share (c25%) of one of the companies. Reading Asia Holdings, Great Shine etc ...? Redwood has sai...

Never understood the point of C1871. You could have achieved the same thing by putting a drum in Y26. Instead the club incurred significant cost to A) relocate away fans B) reduce away allocation.

Derby had 27,000 home fans for their Friday night game. Just a side note. That was one of the worst performances I can remember for a long long time. It was dire and shockingly poor. Blackpool were better than I expected tbf. 0-3 loss is kind for Reading, on another day it could have been double th...

Marek Matejovsky got 30 mins against Sparta Prague at the weekend

I don't get the naysayers. If the punishment is going to be as bad for the club/Dai as you're all saying, then he would be well advised to dispose of it as quickly as possible to avoid a repeat, which is exactly what we want...

Reading that submission, there is no way the EFL can disqualify Dai after the breach of the order, as the Wigan owners breached it twice and weren't even threatened with disqualification, and there are no precedents for the EFL to shut a club down (regardless of the more wild interpretations expres...
