1871 - the ultimate Reading FC website

Face In The Crowd

This competition is not going to work out as I planned, particularly with the ban on cameras inside Madejski Stadium. This section will soon disappear, to be replaced with a frequently asked questions page.

A couple to get you started:

Q: I see Reading are playing on a Friday night against team X. Does that mean we are on Sky?
A: No. Reading are never on Sky. The match has been moved due to either a clash with international matches, police advice or to allow some egg-chasers to use a pitch to which they have no right.

Q: Why do Reading need a third kit?
A: It's known as a marketing trick to exploit the fans. End of story. The kit looks nice, though.

Q: Why did Jamie Cureton only cost £250,000?
A: Difficult one. His contract wasn't up for three years, he obviously isn't injured and Bristol Rovers are so used to selling players that they obviously know how to get large fees for them. I think it's just some sort of cosmic realignment to make up for the years and years of Reading paying large fees for useless players.

Q: Why did Paul Brayson cost as much as £100,000?
A: Difficult one. I think it's because we were had. 48 games as a centre-forward, 1 goal.

Q: What's the best way to deal with squatters?
A: Force them into liquidation. It worked with Richmond and the current egg-chasing lot will follow soon (especially if they continue to get 2,000 for home games).
