I seem to remember The Cube doing a report to find the grave of the founder of Reading FC about 10 years ago and he had a hard time trying to find it. No surprise that the people wanting to fix the grave couldn't find it. And there's the curious question - who owns the grave?
I hope we can fix the grave headstone.
The grave of our founder

This is the responsibility of the relatives. let them sought it out.
'greed, and IMO it would be crass to turn it into a tourist spot for Reading fans.

They'll need to find it first!
BTW, TB - the word you want is "sort".

Interpret it anyway you like.
On the other hand they could try and embalm him and build a Lenin style mausoleum and have 24 hour sentry guards?
Nah couple quid to do it up a bit isn't a lot to ask. A decent grave for the founder wouldn't be crass.

Are their any remaining relatives to contact?
I certainly don't see anything wrong with investigating the position and at least fixing the grave up a bit.
Oh and I hardly think tonnes of RFC fans are suddenly going to camp out beside the grave or pile along every day trampling over the cemetery.
