Re: Striker STILL urgently required - can we wait until January?

The loan window is shut. We can only sign then play free agents who were available in the summer window - anyone released since would not be allowed to play til January. Is that latter part the case, even if their contract has been cancelled? I would've thought that might cause the authorities lega...

Re: Striker STILL urgently required - can we wait until January?

Unambitious of me but can we not just relax and revel in some stability for a season? I haven’t enjoyed the games I’ve seen but am happy to settle in for now. I don't regard our current performances, results and position in the table as 'stability'. Nor do I think it gives reason to 'relax'. If (wh...

Re: Home ticket changes

RG30 You can still use "print at home" as an option having just put a ticket in a basket to double check.


Fingers crossed that remains the same but didn't they say they changes were effective from 13th October, so Monday coming or does that date just apply to the changed TO hours?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Mansfield Town (h)

windermereROYAL I did notice the refs first reaction was to look at the lino, if there was the GLT he wouldn`t have needed to.


I may have been imagining it but I thought he also looked at his wrist - as an EPL ref he may have forgotten that the technology didn't exist in this game!

Re: Injury watch 2025/26

On the Grass really has just become a completely meaningless phrase now hasn’t it? Be nice if journos didn’t just accept that as an answer Contact makes a bit more sense - guessing it’s still a couple of weeks min for Paudie I assume 'on the grass' means out of the gym and actually kicking a ball a...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Mansfield Town (h)

Do we have goal line technology in L1? because their shot that hit the bar looked awfully close to being over the line, the lino was in a perfect position right by the corner flag tbf. It was certainly in use against Wrexham in the cup. At least according to the commentators Apparently not in conti...

Re: Stadium

Yeah I've seen a video of the top layer of plastic getting burned off, revealing a bright colour beneath. Or whatever the scientific process is. I am sure our seats are capable of that. I think they need to get the safe standing rails sorted sooner rather than later. I can see it becoming a require...

Re: Stadium

From the Couhig Q&A : 12. Are there any plans to bring Safe standing to the SCL? Following a discussion with other Staff members earlier today, the topic of safe standing was brought up. Rob said it will be explored and looked at. It’s not just the 1871 area of the ground that could see the int...

Re: Fanatics and merchandising

Just seen a tweet about someone having a wasted journey to the Fanstore, which was closed when it should've been open. It seems that Fanatics decided they needed to do a 'minor urgent refurbishment' and a stock check/system update, which meant the Fanstore was/is closed for several days. Fair enough...

i notice in the clubs training vid ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5blM4Lc-xwU ) that Hunt suggests (1.30 mins in) to the new players that we train with more intensity than other teams and if 'they get a kick' it is just how it is here.

Re: Royals TV Match Commentary; better or worse?

I usually listen to the prematch chat on BRB, and it always cuts out for me on Sounds. Yes and often doesn't kick back in again until quite some time after the game has ended (at least that's my experience when listening as I walk away from The SCL post match. I wasn't a great fan of Dellor and oft...

Re: Fanatics and merchandising

Fanatics are getting binned off all coming back in house again imminently. If there’s a contract until 2028 it will presumably cost the club to get out early so if the club does that it’d have to be fairly sure that it’s replacement merchandising plans for the next couple of years at least recoup t...

Re: Fanatics and merchandising

Having been messed around so much in the past by Fanatics, I will not buy any club merchandise online. I still buy from the Fan Store which I realise is also run by Fanatics but the staff in there are really good and at least I know whether what I want is in stock so that I can get my hands on it i...

Re: Fanatics and merchandising

I’ve been listening to the Price of Football podcast and there’s been a couple of questions regarding merchandising: whether clubs should do their merchandising inhouse or whether it is better for them to outsource it to a third party and how much clubs make from shirt sales. Apparently clubs recei...

Re: Hunt out.

Maybe one for ex-players thread, but it looks like Parkinson could leave Wrexham without quick improvements. If Hunt did get sacked, there is a Reading legend who you would back to bring immediate improvements to the team. However, football would be "pragmatic" and if he did get us promot...
