Re: Charlie Savage to Wrexham

Obviously. The football was often a bit dull and doomed long term, but there was lots to enjoy. It is only "obviously" if all you care about is the end result. The football was dull and uninspiring. I can personally say there were plenty of games I did not enjoy that season. Does this mak...

Re: Charlie Savage to Wrexham

Ungrateful prick. Anyone saying they barely enjoyed any games finishing second is a massive arse Did you enjoy our 2016/17 campaign when we finished 3rd in the league? Obviously. The football was often a bit dull and doomed long term, but there was lots to enjoy. It is only "obviously" if...

Re: Charlie Savage to Wrexham

I wouldn't like him to go, especially to Wrexham, but the reality is that a decent offer plus the player expressing a desire to leave, equals losing that player. However I am sure his dad will counsel him wisely. Next season he will be one of the first names on the team sheet and we could have a ve...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Shrewsbury Town (a)

It really would be Netflix worthy (at least for us) and one of the most unbelievable and surprising seasons of our entire history. And add in some extra spice if we end up playing Wycombe just after Couhig completes the takeover. I was thinking this, imagine a Reading v Wycombe playoff final not lo...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

If it's done next week, does Lincoln get a 20k+ attendance? Heavily odds on the answer is no. I saw this mentioned on Twitter too. That formal confirmation of the sale and the end of Dai would surely mean we MUST sell out the ground. I'd love to see it, a huge celebration and also worthy of attenda...

Re: Man down -SCIAG

Such sad, sad news to hear. I am really sorry for your loss CR. I know there is nothing anyone can say to help you, but as I am sure you can see from the response to this thread, people care. I hope that will at least provide some comfort. Please take care of yourself, as difficult as that must seem...

Re: Blackpool ( A ) Tuesday 1st April

Anyone know if you will be able to pay on the day for this? Had a look on Reading's website but couldn't see anything. Live just down the road so was going to pop along for this one. Might be worth giving the ticket office a call. Yeah, probably the best thing to do, rather than being lazy and hopi...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

How long will the EFL let this drag on? Thinking about the implications for the whole league if we are expelled, there is no way realistically it can go on beyond the final day of the season. Assuming we don't reach the playoffs, our status still has major repercussions for League 1 (relegation - h...

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

To be fair, this is in line with what many of us suspect(ed). The transfer stuff confirms that we've done alright this window, I think, and that it wasn't random chance we got that outcome. Didn't they say this after the Couhig deal collapsed? Pretty much. Or if they didn't certainly others here di...

Re: Rumour - Sam Smith to Huddersfield

So i guess its being reported that a couple of significant barricades towards the sale of the club have been lifted so something must be going on behind the scenes whoever that may be. I would also like to thing that if things are progressing that the said party would be communicating to the player...

Re: Rumour - Sam Smith to Huddersfield

He’s a northerner so would probably feel at home He’s from Lancashire (least Manchester was always in Lancashire before they started inventing those stupid urban conglomerations up there). So probably not overly keen on feeling at home in Yorkshire. It’s all north, can’t be that different. It’s not...

Re: Bindon to be sold

This is my take on it. Take the money. As much as it means Dai won't be forced to sell, it means we can survive to the end of the season at least on the money with no points deduction. Rueben and the academy are just becoming a pure talent culturing machine. To the point, eventually young talent wil...

Big difference in league positions and form. Grow up.

Sure there must be worse ones than that (the Darlington double back in 1985/86 perhaps?)? Another thread poll needed maybe....

Rougier and Hunter vs Walsall.

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

I'd argue virtually nothing in your post directly improves revenue. And between 1 and 2 fifths actually harms it. On this point, I'd like to argue to the contrary. I took my two step children to their first Reading game yesterday (age 6 and 9). They have never shown an interest to watch a match wit...
