Didn't notice much different to be honest. Apart from downgrades. Massive queue for the outside bar. Stood in it for 10 mins before giving up and going inside. Beer choice inside very limited. No ales but John Smiths available :| Toilets look the same, sound sounds the same, screen looks the same. T...

If you buy 7 tickets for the same game is that sufficient to earn you a free one? Not if I'm reading it right. How it works: For every match ticket purchased (one per fixture), you'll receive a stamp. The sentence is open to interpretation but I'd say you only get one stamp regardless. I've just bo...

Bought the new home kit for my 5 year old's birthday. Looks good in the flesh.
My oldest boy will probably want the orange one for his in a couple of month's time. Alas, he is now into adult sizes
Going on Saturday so we can see what he thinks.

1 year anniversary just passed 160k passengers used the station in the last year. Much more than expected. I come into Reading from Basingstoke a couple of times a week & the station has got steadily busier as the year has gone on Just done a planner to see costs as like the idea of the train. ...

It's wholly impractical, but it does make me think there should be an independent match doctor and physio, rather than ones for each club, who do medical and injury assessments, and can tell the ref when they think someone is faking, to earn them a post match sanction (post match so it can be prope...

I'm disappointed in Fran Kirby not speaking up for her home town - she has the profile to get this higher up the news agenda and we have seen that Dai and Pang don't like to make the news. Also Earps who really developed with us. I don't expect them to become full on campaigners, but they could at ...

I decided that I actually liked the tempo and the cut and thrust of yesterday's game. Some of the challenges and the lack of rolling about and the referee letting the fact that it's contact sport made it feel a bit like a 90s England game. Yes, we need a way to deliver in the final third but I liked...

As it's a gift for your daughter you could get your knitting needles out to make it more special. I've still got the one my mum knitted me in the 70's. :oops: I still wear my blue and white knitted bobble hat that my mum/nan knitted me about 40 years ago. Don't need a new scarf. Still got my (now a...

How to follow the game ⋅ Listen to Radio 5 Live and/or a myriad of other radio stations for score flashes ⋅ Ring/text a mate for updates ⋅ Use an RoyalTV subscription ⋅ BBC Radio Berkshire (FM : 104.4, 104.1 or 95.4 depending where you are in the area) I thin...

I took my lad when he was 5 (almost 6). We went with my mum (lifelong fan) and he had a great time. The last ten minutes I could sense he was waning but we've been going on/off ever since and he's now 12. We get the bus in, have a pint before (he'll get chips or some such), shout and sing then get t...

I got a notification through from my Sky Sports app.

Cheers m8.
It's no longer in the buy tickets section so I trust you

So we think this one's off?

When can we expect official confirmation?

That's what I was thinking. Surely would have to be made official any day now but wouldn't expect anything less than the club being the last to announce it. Are we certain it will be moved? Do we have enough international players? Or do Oxford? Was planning on taking my boy and 6 of his mates to th...

CountryRoyal What is it with Reading and skying pens? Did no one show them Wembley 2017?

Safe to say that no-one would make anyone re-watch that drivel.

traff I thought their #5 had been plucked straight from the spanish archery squad.

El Bow?

Hound Oliver Arsblaster? Really?

Thought I was reading Viz for a moment there!

Had to check Google myself.
Arsblaster is better.

Nice write up as always, Sutekh.

My lad is already in league one mode. Just in the garden now banging them in against Port Vale. He's Andy Caroll atm....bless. Do you have to stand at one end of the garden and launch aimless hoofs (hooves? hoovi?) in his general direction? Hoofs would be correct, but it’s informal anyway. I do but...
