Deathy I would name the stands after previous Reading legends.
I know money bollocks doesn't want to direct attention away from himself, and his usual excuse of sponsors, but you can work with both.
The Robin Friday [insert sponsor] South Stand for example.
One thing I hate about us since moving to that ground is we don't try and remember where we came from!
It would cost the football club nothing.

Whore Jackie Move it to within reasonable walking distance of the town centre and station, surrounded by a decent selection of pubs and takeaways. Don’t know how practical that would be in Reading.

Fairy nuff. Like I said I don't use it. Don't they have a corresponding number of disabled places to car park places? That would just be common sense to me

Deadlock Well, if we're going down the fantasy route, rotate the entire stadium by 90 degrees, so the East Stand is now the South Stand, and put the away fans in the new East so they get the sun in their eyes.
Voila - the new South Bank.

royalexile What would you do.
Me - i'd change the ugly concrete walls inside the concourse. Montage the walls with the clubs history

me too, and STAR did get a volunteer to paint a mural but the club were very much against it. Still time to raise the subject again I think. As far as I am concerned the drabber the concourse the less likely people are to treat it with repect.

T.R.O.L.I.Wycombe Royal In which case it doesn't work because as soon as you get round to the hotel you meet all the people coming round the other way (including the away fans)
But by that time, a good proportion of the people from the East and North stands are already on their way down towards the Bennet Road roundabout. I can't remember the exact reasons but I'm sure Dirk can enlighten us.

Elm PArk I agree with both of those. Also, add a concreted path from the bottom of Hurst Way (next to the service road for Comets etc) sloping up to the area next to the STAR hut, giving easier access and exiting from the ground.

starliaison In Dirk's absence -it is not just to keep home and away fans apart it is to keep home fans away from the away coaches in particular. As it takes time to walk round the away coaches should have gone by the time the flood of people from the east stand get there, and even then they will all be coming from one direction rather than converging just by the coaches. Whether that is necessary of not, that is the reasoning.

Royalshow Fully functional drum kit in all the corners,massive lasers from the roof along with a gigantic tower projecting the RFC badge all over town at night. Smoke machines in every block and slides to exist at the back off each stand.Some of my scaled back improvements anyway.
