Reading FC have announced a long-term partnership with Coca-Cola. The football club has revealed a new partnership with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners who join as the club’s official soft drinks partner. Through this collaboration Coca-Cola’s varied beverage range—including Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zer...

From my own experience a lot of Reading fans who go to Saturday games live some way from the ground. Around where I sit there are 4 from Didcot and one from Honiton another lives near Brentford's ground so any evening games are far from easy. I grew up two roads away from Elm Park and, possibly bec...

I recognise folk will struggle to make any game played at 19:00 on any weekday evening, as people have to get back from work, etc. - made worse if you don't live in Reading specifically. That said, we managed to get 2,517 against Arsenal U21s and 1,560 against Charlton in 2023-24 (deducting away fa...

Only 1.247 (246 away) fans there tonight, making it our lowest Mad Stad crowd ever. Previous record was 1.561 against Leyton Orient in this competition back in December 1999. Given how much people claim to care about the continued existence of a club when it is about to disappear, and will sing Rea...

Haha

Oh dear. I've read an entire tilehurstend blog about one player and thought they were someone else due to thinking i had opened up a BBC article on burns instead.

Oh well.

22 years old. Burns hasn't scored a goal in 63 appearance.

How is this loan signing better than Wareham or WiFi or Bodin?

Confirmed Craig gone to the Orient £££££££ I wasn't aware Orient had £££££. Stockport and Wycombe yes, but do we need to add another historically smaller club to the list? It does confuse a bit; you'd think these mid sized towns/suburbs in London and Manchester with giant clubs on their doorstep wi...

Mbengue feels like a big loss - a key part of the squad both on and off pitch. We tried to keep and he decided to take a different challenge. Wareham never felt like he was quite good enough, bet he scores against us next season. I think in L1 Wareham was good enough, with room to improve due to hi...

Agree that the shade of blue on the shirt looks different to the colour of the shorts/socks Also, read on Twitter earlier that ladies teams prefer dark shorts so they wouldn't have gone with white and guess you want both men's and women's kits the same I'm not convinced for one moment that the wome...

I think it's great. A nod to our history. But white shorts would work better. The effect of the pattern is to lose to the vibrancy of the blue in the shirt - so the shorts look like they are a different shade. Agree that the shade of blue on the shirt looks different to the colour of the shorts/soc...

It will become an iconic kit in 10 years time, but not convinced the bands are dark enough. I would have pushed for blue shirt where the white bands were made by a white floral pattern on top of the blue, rather than a blue pattern on top of white. Doesn't it all just look a bit too white? Nah, tha...

The Walthamstow William Morris kits have sold like you wouldnt believe round my neck of the woods, perhaps they are trying to tap into the more fashion conscious hipsters of Reading.

Weird how someone can crash a very fast car with no one else around in normal driving conditions on a straight road and we don't here a peep about a conviction for careless / reckless driving. You should probably raise that with the Essex Constabulary if you're that worried about it mate. Just an o...

*GOOD NEWS ALERT* Michail Antonio back on the pitch already (85th minute sub for Jamaica last night). Fantastic news. I can remember quite clearly hearing about it, seeing the photos of his car and thinking he may well not survive. To see him back playing again is great and I hope West Ham give him...

I'm lost. Is Mbengue joining a new club? The speculation has been that Mbengue will reject us in favour of somebody higher up the league. Ian is suggesting he won't make it through a medical, should he try to go down that route. All of which is, of course, speculation... Oh ok. I was replying to so...

Fair chance he won’t get through a medical if that is the case surely.

Why would Mbengue have a medical?

All players have a medical signing to a new club.

I'm lost. Is Mbengue joining a new club?

Does this suggest Strickland won't be moving to first choice..... Which saddens me..... Or that Mbengue is defo off. Mbengue played the final third of the season with a heavily strapped knee, and if you watched him in the prep for corners he was constantly stretching his knee out and rubbing it. I ...
