jawillwill Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Sometimes when I go to the football, I like to take a good book along with me for half-time/when nothing interesting is happening (during throw-ins etc.). Does anyone else do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Ron Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Yes I regularly take an assortment of programmes dating back to the 60's to browse through....then imagine what those players in the pictures would do in the same situation as the game is in at that time.

Tom8558 Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 I take an AK-47 and try to see how many people I can get to give me there money. Maybe I read into pulp fiction a little too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Thats given me idea, I will phone up the Westwood bookshop at the end of the season and ask for a couple of books called '2 back 2 backs promotions.' & 'The slippery slope to blue square.'

Crazy Diamond Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 It's a good joke. Credit to jawillwill. But did you know that some Reading fans call the Madejski 'the Library' because it's so quiet? True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 When you say 'good book', are you talking about 'The Good Book'? Do your neighbours edge nervously away from you as halftime approaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdvdtz Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 go on then....explain The 'Reading' in the title is the verb, not the team. From the title people would figure he was talking about the game then realise he wasn't upon opening the thread. It would've been slightly amusing if there wasn't a need to explain it.
