     Reading's forwards spent more time on the grass than Cheech & Chong.

     

    Old school reference there - like it!

    Was the first time the Miners benefit gig in 84 at Trinity with Brilliant Corners and Redskins?

    true fact - i have in my possession a Fender telecaster guitar owned by Chris from the Redskins and given to him by Joe Strummer.

     and all those really naff Hammer Horror films.

    talking of. I stumbled on 'The Devil rides out' last night when scrolling through TV - hilarious now, but a classic hammer Horror back in the day.

  4. Matty James

     

    he has quietly held the MF together and done an amazing job. we have missed him horribly these last two games.

    Scott of course is a delight to watch, and Vyner and pring have both come on in leaps and bounds (thank god)

  5. they were impressive last night in the way they harried and hassled and in those two front guys they have a potent outlet.

    We've seen a few clubs actually go up with this urgent, frantic pressing game (Leeds, Brentford)  and it's not entirely out the question that they might make a promotion via the play off's, but those teams were more solidly developed IMO

     

    if they did I would enjoy reading about them getting torn a new a.rsehole on a weekly basis.... :)

    Not sure if this has been posted on the forum before, but I saw this great photo on FB, taken from the flats before the Dolman was built. My great grandmother used to live in the flats and my dad said he remembered his uncles watching games from their balcony (but my dad claimed he always went in the ground to watch). 

    I used to love those floodlights. 

    Mods - any chance there could be a separate section for people to post old pics like this? There are threads with them every now and then and it would be good if they were all in one place. I find them fascinating.

    we sold those floodlights to Wigan FC i recall.

    Isn’t this all down to us using FeverPitch as our marketing partner? they have been doing our marketing videos for a while now and the first time I noticed this font (how could you not?) was the video they did for the new kit launch

    Check out the creative director 

    ah, yes..... and all paid for by dad no doubt.

     

  8. So the Media team seem to using a new font for onscreen purposes - some horrible serif font that should be not allowed out.

    admittedly it's not Comic Sans, but IMHO it doesn't work as the ascenders / verticals are too thin

    when we got taught typography (all the way back in hot metal days !!) and then when i did TV graphics work, we always avoided fonts where the verticals were too thin as they tend to disappear visually.

    Optima was our 'go to' for a slightly serifed font. but this one (which i think is 'Jazmin ' regular) is effing horrible, and doesn't mix at all when used with other fonts - which they do.

     

    as they used to say - "if in doubt, Gill throughout"

    Bit annoying the replica kit I bought my son for this season is already obsolete in February. 

    This.

    my view is the club should offer at least a discounted price to people who bought the Hummel kit this season. They knew this deal was coming, it's really not right to be still selling the old kit without making an announcement.

    it's not hard to do a trade in deal.
