Re: Ex Royals

The tabloids would suggest ‘top bloke’ is a bit of a stretch.

Excellent bit of business. Going to be hard pressed to top that during the off season. Delighted.

Re: Jamie Gittens to Arsenal - are we entitled to compensation?

RFC Latest @RFCLatest · 15h If this transfer goes through we will receive part of a 5% solidarity payment for having Jamie Bynoe-Gittens at the club between the ages of 12-23. Would receive some of the €2.5m for his time at #ReadingFC :shock: Things have changed. Under Dai the club would have just ...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

Yes of course, but whilst you’re in high demand as Pereira and his associates know he is, there will be an open discourse and you will know you can bide your time. The club won’t upset the negotiation with a stroppy deadline nor will they sign a lesser keeper when the Pereira deal is still on the ta...

Re: Squad for 2025-2026

If I were out of contract but considering signing I’d leave it as late as possible up until pre-season to test my market. There’s not really any incentive for the likes of Pereira to sign early unless it looked like someone was going to get signed in your place.

Re: On this day......

The sliding doors moment when Karacan hit the post adds some mustard to Swansea for me vs Huddersfield when both teams should have lost as the game was so bad.

Re: Stadium Matchday Upgrade

Hope 5G reception improves. So frustrating. 5G would be an investment decision by the network providers, not the club. And frankly, the cost benefit case would never pay off to install infrastructure to cope with 10,000 simultaneous network connections 30 times per year for a few hours. Wi-fi upgra...

Re: Speculation - Nathan Lowe

I would imagine he’s going to be getting playing time with Stoke. I’d be surprised if he’s going out on loan unless he struggles early doors.

Re: Where we going next season then?

Been a while since we’ve played Doncaster. I reckon it’s 10 years ish, when we were both in the Champ? Alex Pearce step-over game perhaps?

Re: Are Reading fans unfairly critical of black players?

It goes the other way too, when praised black players in many sports are more likely to be described as athletic or strong and less likely to be described as *insert sport* intelligent than their white counterparts.

The bias is there even when people aren’t trying to be horrible.

Best will in the world the Stadium can be left as it is. It’s drab on the concourses and has its issues but it’s still an excellent league 1 stadium that can take way more atrophy before it becomes a problem.

Re: Early expectations for next season

I think we’ll finish a little worse than this year. Improvements at striker and fullback won’t be able to make up for the loss of Bindon and Pereira.
