Preview;
I'll add team news and a preview from the official if it goes up tomorrow...otherwise I am too heartbroken after the equaliser on Saturday to think much more about football. Just wanted the thread up to start discussion...give you a chance to point out previous 'player who played for both' that I have missed.

Enjoy those who are making the trip, and I hope everyone has a great Christmas.
 
Nice one Dave, thanks for all your hard work in doing the matchday threads this year. <applause> <applause> <applause>

Jamie Cureton is another who played for both, I think Michael Meaker did as well.

I can't make this game due to a family gathering. Which is a shame as I've only ever seen us win at The Madejski on the four occasions I've been there.

Duck the family gathering 9s....We need you :grin::grin:
 
I've just seen that Paddington Station is closed on Boxing day. This will make it awkward for any R's trying to get to the game from London ...

Yep and no SWR at all. Not expecting many to bother even with it not being a huge distance. Will be there but can’t say I’m looking forward to it <cracker>

Still no team news on the official. Hope everyone has had a great Christmas.

Late fitness tests for Manning who had twelve pints of Guinness yesterday and Chair who was up all night playing Fortnite after eating two tubs of Celebrations.

Going to the pub in an hour. The potential future Mrs West WindsR is excited for her first away game for some reason. I haven’t the heart to tell her how cold and awful it will be.
 
Bloody Sky.....should be following game now, instead another 3 hours to wait whilst the 3 o'clock games are at half time....

Anyway..

Brentford 2-0 Swansea
Barnsley 0-1 baggies
Luton 2-1 Fulham
Hull 0-1 forest

Some of the scores...
