The Battle of Y26

[Jobbo no.11]

Although a poor atmosphere (nothing to chear about at all) i was happy to see how easily the tangos now give up when trying to make people sit down. 2 or 3 minutes of half hearted "lads sit down" and then they gave up. All good news in that respect!

Was a good period of noise in the 2nd half.

Yeah did like that, as soon as there is any sign of them coming up the noise increased. And have to agree a lot down to the fella under the screen!

Proper battle in Y26 today. Some thuggish-looking speccy bloke who looked old enough to know better lamped some youngish lad who looked a bit of a thicko. Stewards seemed to do a good job intervening as a load of finger pointing ensued. Was superb entertainment at the end of a gr8 win, so my thanks to all concerned.

Saw the aftermath - as the steward sat the older guy with glasses down he kept saying something about being pushed first...

Gotta LOL at home fans having a bundle in the stands - priceless..

The old guy is a oxf*rd prick! Punching one of your own fans is oxf*rd pathetic ... That old speccy oxf*rd should be banned for life

by the sounds of it (from the twitter feed) he will be. the young lad that waded in to defend his mate took a punch to the eye and has to make a statement tomorrow morning at 8am. the football club will ban the offender, no doubt about that.

Gutted i went down early so i could have a piss before getting the bus!

What happened with the old guy on the stairs about 5 minutes before the end by the way?

You gotta laugh at the stewards, no f*****g clue about the ground regulations. I was told off by a steward on Saturday for having a can of Coke. I accept that I shouldn't have had it but I kinda had to laugh at him for telling me "it was against ground regulations" whilst at the same time holding a bottle with a cap on it, which is also against ground regulations. A case of do as I say but not what I do.

C**t

TBF, when I go to Reading games I feel like twatting about 99% of our support.

Exactly. If he sat in Y26 then he probably deserved it anyway.

STOP SNITCHING

The stewards deserve a lot of credit in Y25 and Y26. They have met the fans halfway and do their job with a smile on their face. They have to be seen to tell you to sit and then they walk back down, often saying hello to a few fans on the way who clearly get on with them.

I think it helps too that we see the same old faces rather than different stewards each week. You build a bit of a rapport with them then.

Are you in there tomorrow in your normal seats FL?

No mate. Row X and more in line with the 18 yard box tomorrow, rather than my season ticket seats for next season where we've been the last few games in front of you and BenReading.

Forest I'm two rows in front of you and a few to your left; and then we ended up in the upper west for Palace.

Looking forward to next season in the usual seats though. Came up trumps there!
