Re: Quiz: Every Reading player ever

Similarly, if you're going for Uwe Hartenberger, you get bonuses Harts and Hartes (see also Kerry Dixon and Dominic Samuel)

NB Tom Dollery - one single game for us in the 1930s. Better known as a cricket County Championship winning captain of Warwickshire CCC. Have that one on me.

Re: Quiz: Every Reading player ever

Using the Heritage Numbers list, I've put together a quiz where you have to name every player who's played for Reading: link . I can't imagine anyone will get all 1,507 players (especially as the maximum time I could provide was an hour). Would be interesting to see how well people do with this tho...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (h)

Strange game. Couldn't believe how poor S'age were in first half. Plusses Enjoyed Wing playing further forward. Kyerewaa's best game of the season (out of those I've been to anyway) Pereira excellent when needed The two centre backs look excellent Williams (R) looked handy when he came on Abrefa fin...

Re: Randell Williams and Andy Rinomhota

Is Williams a left back? If so, that'd be a good signing.

Would be good to see Rino back too.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Actually thought we played pretty well. Gave Northampton very little and we were the better side by a margin Elliott did ok, CBs good, front 3 all contributed and nice to have some physicality up there. Thought Kelvin was good and caused a lot of problems All subs did well bar the hapless Kyeweera ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Just got home. We bossed that, they came for a 0-0, were well organised and well coached but offered precious little attacking threat so it was all about whether we could get the one goal we needed (or not). We looked much better with Williams in the team, and even better when Yiadom came on. I can ...

For any St James Park newbies, the indoor Centre Spot fanzone is excellent.

Re: FA Cup 2025-26

Franconian Royal Just no banana skin, please.

Apart from that Slough, please

Last time we had Slough away in the FA Cup, we went into injury time a mere 3-1 ahead and managed to hold on for a 3-3 draw.

And there was a gigantic punch-up in the car park afterwards.
