I’ll take Eastbourne or Whitstable away please.

If it’s Barnsley or Bolton away, just put the ball back and say we’ve done that one already.

Looks pretty sloppy to me. Where are the six non UK football clubs older than Reading? I doubt very much we are the fourth oldest club in UK. Notts C, Forest, Wednesday, Sheffield FC, Maidenhead, Marlow, Kilmarnock for starters all earlier than us. The age breaks add up to only 86%. No way is the UK...

Very good - by most fans I don't mean most Nobbers!

I had Michael Dobson and Stephen Kelly in mind.

RG30 Fanatics are getting binned off all coming back in house again imminently.

^ This, And good. Last time I went in it had all the energy of a closing down sale.

A while back I had a go at recent-ish players with common surnames who I reckon most fans would find hard to place. Here's some:

A Smith
N Smith
B Smith
K Jones
S Brown
A Wright
B Roberts
J Young
M Dobson
J Kelly
S Kelly
J Taylor
R Scott

... against the red griffin things ...

A griffin is half eagle, half lion. They've got TWO WYVERNS - winged dragons. Against which we're putting out royals. Go, Princess Eugenie!

Plymouth exile Wifi's brother has signed a season long loan for Swinedon.

Poor sod. What was his offence?

On the bright side we were in it for 3/4 of the game and with the rub of the green could have got a draw. Elliott looked very good for half a hour. But none of the new men made a good first impression for me. Early days, but we definitely need a focal point in attack. A new Andy Carroll!?

Lincoln targeting Dorsett as if he’s Garcia!

Absolutely nonexistent as an attacking force for the first half hour.

Then got into it, not really due to our forwards. I’d replace all three at HT if I could! Certainly want to see subs before it’s 0-2.

We’re still in it though. Go !

JedMaxwell Taylor Swift was born in West Reading, PA.

Are we sensing a Sheeran / Elton / Robbie Wiiliams opportunity here? Does West Reading PA have a Battle Hospital?

RG30 4 direct train routes from Reading I counted (Exeter, Plymouth, Cardiff, Stockport).

London?

Get a bus to Leyton from Padders?!
More realistically, tube from Waterloo to Wimbledon.

No 'new' news as it were haha but just wanted to tell everyone about the time I met Bobby Convey and had a prolonged conversation with him on our favorite club: First, he is the main reason I became a fan. Back in 2005, I had just graduated from High School a few months earlier and went to a colleg...

Worth noting that Narin the Thai is out - he was only here for the car park! There's some convoluted scheme whereby the car park is shared between four different companies and RFC, in Dai's time, had a share (c25%) of one of the companies. Reading Asia Holdings, Great Shine etc ...? Redwood has said...

He’s first team ready, would have been in this season but for injury) Wing Savage Elliott (assuming fit. If not move Knibbs back) Knibbs (assuming we can’t afford three new forwards) Or Me...

Today for me was all about a full house claiming back our Reading. Good flag there and hats off to STAR and SBDW for all the work put in over the past two seasons. Didn’t think for a moment that Orient would screw up their chance. Play offs and promotion too early for our current squad. Next year is...

The Wing team goal v Wrexham for me too.

I'm struggling to recall any Reading player scoring so many goals from distance as Wing.

John Murray hit a fair few. Quinny too. But Wing must have hit a dozen in two seasons.

Orient to win quickly and easily.

Reading, meh, 1-1 maybe. Rather that than losing out on GD.

PS I'm really poor at predictions.
