Griffo Posted 16 November, 2008 Share Posted 16 November, 2008 I hope to god it's not like a lot of games where we have a big following and some are sat down and don't sing. If you are behind me and telling me to sit down next Saturday you will be told in no uncertain terms to **** off. And I shall be having a party no matter what the score as we all expect to lose.

Hi mate I would allow plenty of time to get back to the station if I was you,it could take as much as 1 and half hours to get back to the sation, we are booked on the 7.45pm back to Soton, if we get back early then in the pub.

Winchester Posted 18 November, 2008 Share Posted 18 November, 2008 It will be good to see the away end full for once this season - I remember you grouching about only getting 2,300 tickets last time you came down, and also mocking our 24,000 attendance as it was our record league crowd at the time - how times have changed eh? It will also be interesting to see whether this manifests into the local 'rivalry' that South Today would like to have us believe. I imagine that we will start with the same team that beat Sheffield United last week, on the lines of "it it ain't broke, don't mend it" principle. And this season it certainly isn't broken... As I'm sure you know, Alex Pearce has been with you for the last few weeks. Suggestions on the Reading forum are that he will be giving away some of your secrets (such as where the missing 17,000 fans are, and who has been keeping your trophy cabinet key for the last 30 years), but also what your defensive frailties are, and where you're most potent attacking (When he's on the pitch). It has also been suggested that you will know a little more about us, other than that this season we've scored 6 times as many goal as our opponents at home, and we've averaged 3 goals a game... Last time we played, as I'm sure you remember, we were a handful of matches from winning the Championship, and a 2-0 win on a Friday night at the Madejski saw us take another 3 points. I'm looking forwards to this one, what are your thoughts on it? I also think we'll win, but that might just be because I'm me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Bates Posted 18 November, 2008 Share Posted 18 November, 2008 Haven't seen it mentioned but Reading look set to hold a minutes silence/applause for 13-year old Acadamy Goalkeeper Stewart McEwan who sadly died on Saturday after a terrible canoeing accident.

Winchester Posted 18 November, 2008 Share Posted 18 November, 2008 Yes, something that's shocked everybody at the club.
