Looks like short trip to Reading next year

Reading are close to MK Dons as a franchise team. Scrap their historic nickname of the "biscuitmen" to call themselves Royals. Spent most of the time getting ****e crowds around 6-8,000 at that bloody awful Elm Park ground. Madjeski is weird too.

Their ground is nice, but terrible to get in and out of and absolutely no pubs anywhere near it.

So yeah Biscuitboys, bring it on.

 

As a young man in Berkshire in the fifties most of the people I know who went to watch football watched Chelsea, Spurs or Arsenal. They might go and watch Reading if their favourite team was away from home. I was busy playing football so although I followed Reading's fortunes I was never a paying supporter. It was only after I had moved to Hampshire and stopped playing football around 1970 that I went to watch the Saints.

As a boy my dad always referred to them as the Biscuit Boys and they were always a mid table third division team.

I am not sure how they can be described as a franchise as their roots have always been in West Berkshire.

Having said all tht Mrs Godders is very happy tonight as her home town team have been promoted. She has a big smile on her face and keeps nudging me and winking so this may be my last post tonight lads.

 

Ah what a shame. 80% plastics in the Reading end. Loving giving it back on Facebook so the so called 'fans' now. Feel sorry for the genuine fans but one team had to lose.

Poor defending at fault for all of the goals, Kishanishvili (sp?) had an absolute nightmare game.

 

Biscuit boys, eh! Crumbs.

 

That pun was hard to Digest[ive].

 

Isn't there someone on their transfer list called Gari Baldi? Doesn't that just take the biscuit?

 

I remember are games against them a few years ago, they were belters. More of them to come i hope!

 

They're just crackers.

 

Another win at the Mad Stad then

 

Wouldn't mind Matt Mills.

Reading will still be good next year, especially if they replace Shane Long well

 

With so many dead cert 6 pointers in the Championship,they might as well give us the trophy now

 

Just watched a bit on Sky about Swansea..uplifting story. Nearly out of business and saved by fans, now in the Premier League. Shows that our dreams (and NC's) are achievable. Sometimes you have to hit bottom to bounce back.

 

oh ...jesus

I know why not have every team south of Oxford as our Rivals if your think Reading is a rival!

 

All teams in the Championship are now our rivals in the race for the promised land, but I know what you mean, Kingsland, we don't have any decent chants for the Biscuit Boys. I mean how can you get angry about a biscuit (unless your son eats the last custard cream just 5 mins after the shop shuts and refuses to get in the car and replace them..but that's another story.)

Kingsland. It was tongue in cheek, I was quoting St Godders who no longer considers Pompey our rivals.

 

I gathered that ... LOL

 

going to Reading is not such a little trip for me, but it is just 20 minutes up the road from Dad, so will definately be on that one.
