Yeah, congratulations Reading on having a stadium half empty and only sell out by attracting local fans of top 4 clubs to go and watch you when things start to go well. Congratulations on having a support consisting of saps and shirters. Congratulations on having the worst support in the football league. Congratulations on having a drum and a trumpet and congratulations on being so very tinpot.

I think a final at Wembley is much more likely to attract fans of that ilk with half of them not being regulars at all. Your support is like that constantly though. But you knew that anyway.

Impressive run they've had and fair play for that. Nice short trip next season too.

 

And very practical too, flight Lyon-Heathrow,Railair bus to the Madj,takes just about 4.5 hours from home.Did it this season,

stayed at my old aunt's in Wimbledon afterwards.Cheapest Saints watching trip for years.Think I had plenty left from £200 which is good cos I can go more often then.

I don't mind reading...another team in the region doing well....will replace a northern club in the prem no doubt.

 

what I find interesting is how they will do in the prem...against half decent sides in the NPC, they have to put up a real rear guard action and concede 20 chances at least per game and hit teams on the break

 

that tactic will get you murdered in the prem....no doubt Brian Mc-d is a good manager so I will assume he will alter this tactic or it will be thanks for coming and down again

What region?

 

Reading is 45miles away. The only reason people can try and suggest that they are a 'local' club is because there are so few professional clubs of any significant stature in the South of England. I don't see any reason why people in Southampton should think that Reading's promotion is indirectly beneficial to us which is what you're implying.

How come you know so much about our support? I know literally nothing about your fans, but then I would only visit SMS once a year, max. Mind you, having the "worst" support in the League only gave a handful of our fans the chance to celebrate 3 shots and 3 goals at your gaffe, together with spotting approx. two-thirds of your support wearing stripey shirts in another of your cup-finals. How many do you normally get, then? 15k? 16k? I don't know, I've never looked it up.

Its indirectly beneficial to me to drive 45 miles to Reading next year instead of a flight, train and hotel to Middlesbrough.

Entirely true. I'll agree with that one!

Never seen more tw*ttish support, it appears to be a regular end of season ritual?

Sure, every club has morons, but that's just ridiculous.

Club size doesn't matter, they've had a great season where it matters, on the pitch. Good luck to them next season and I hope we join them soon.

 

I was truly stunned by how hostile a minority of their fans were in Southampton last Friday. What the f@@k was that about!? In my opinion it's good to see another relatively local side do well.

I'd think that there would be a net diminution of the average mileage to reach away games next season.

Newcastle would be the furthest,Reading the closest and then there's somewhere from 4 to 6 London games instead of this year's 3.

 

No doubt the OS will work it out for us when the compo of next year's EPL is known.

seems that way

 

if brum/west ham go up...with saints and reading...that will replace wolves and (IMO) bolton and blackburn

 

So,

 

Reading

west ham/brum

QPR

Arsenal

Chelsea

Spurs

Fulham

WBA

Villa

 

 

then a tad further stoke

In fact it would be quite interesting to actually calculate the real cost of a PL season and a NPC season to a ST holder fan who

goes to 5 or 6 away games on a regular basis.Although the PL is bound to cost more ticket wise I'm not so sure that those who go to a lot of far flung away games will be much more out of pocket and I'd think that those who go to virtually every game might even save a couple of quid.

Wooooooooosh

Not woosh, it was just a stupid comparison. What is the link between not going to an away game at the other end of the country and not going to a home game? Surely the comparison should be made with Coventry next week

I expect they watched 'The Football Factory' on the morning of the game, then put on their Stone Island and thought about getting proper naughty.

 

Did they use the phrase 'mugged off' a lot?

there is a forum with more idiots than ours?! wow

A different kind of idiot. They seem more like the Tim Nice But Dim types, whereas we have more of the Breivik types.
