Whore Jackie Fanzone staying open until 7.30pm for the Orient game. :shock:

Man United v Chelsea on the big screen and all the eating/drinking places open.

That will be a ghost town if we lose or the weather's rubbish.


I mentioned on the latest survey they sent me that I'd probably stop around for a pint or two after the game if there was a live band or summat on. Alas, the Tadley bus departs straight after the game.

I said in the survey I might stay around, but only if there's a viable bus service to Tilehurst available. TVP would take a dim view of me driving, as I'm not going to hang around without a few more pints.

Felt like the Fanzone could have done with some more lighting yesterday.

I was thinking the same thing as I walked through it last night.

Poster in the gents toilets in the SJM Stand.

"We are working to improve these facilities. Please be patient whilst we strive to improve your comfort break."

Maybe they should consider similar outside the turnstiles:

"We are working to improve this team. Please be patient whilst we strive to improve your matchday enjoyment."

:D

How are they going to improve the comfort break?

Will somebody be volunteering to hold it for you at the urinal while you have a conversation on the phone?
Will somebody be available for wiping purposes?

Not sure what they've done, but the sound quality of the PA system in the East Stand has got worse, not better.

The mind boggles! (pardon any perceived pun).

At the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, they have TVs in the toilets with video and commentary, so you don't miss any of the action whilst you pee! Maybe Rob intends bringing that idea across The Atlantic.

The toilets were improved, the floor and walls have been painted and it looked as if the urinal had seen it's first clean in 25 years.

You wouldn’t miss much at the moment if you want for a pee at Reading
