CrazyInWeston Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Reading are Arsenal/Chelsea/Tottenham wanabees, no you are NOT in London **** off. Even Brentford in West London do a better job of being a unique separate side and they ARE in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I have disliked them from, certainly, the injury time loss in the early 1990s, and probably way before. F-em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 To be fair they've done very well for themselves in recent times. Just like MK Dons they want to be taken seriously but just like MK Dons they don't have any individuality and therefore, seemingly don't have an identity which they crave. Plastic fans in a plastic stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic fans in a plastic stadium. Yup. That just about sums them up. I was there for the Reading riots, at least they had a bit of character then. Now they are just bland, can’t distinguish them or their ground from a few others, but even most of the other new builds have some sort of identity. They had done well for themselves by getting into the Prem and flirting with it again, but I think they will be on a downward cycle for a few years now, and their fans know it.

Capacity of the Madejski stadium, 24,160. Capacity of Ashton Gate 27,000. Nice song, shame about the facts. As opposed to our Bristol educated singing intelligentsia who have been heard to sing the same at such places as Hillsborough, Elland Road etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concourse is tatty and the leaking roof was embarrassing. Not a patch on what we have. Not been to the masjeski for a while, but i thought the same about the riverside, stadium of light and deepdale.

ChippenhamRed Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Madejski must rank as one of the worst new builds. The definition of the soulless bowl in a business park. Dreadful dingy concourses like a level from Doom too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we first played there, it was like a new world but now others, ourselves included, have better. Bear in mind the 'TerryandJuneodrome' has to be 20 years old now.

tinman85 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Another irritating club like QPR and Palace who get 13-15K crowds unless they are doing well. All of those clubs play irritating songs after they score too. Put Palace at the top of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
