Couldn't disagree more. You can do the really famous stuff in two days (though, frankly, the Vatican museum is so huge that I've been twice, spent all day there both times and still didn't feel like I'd seen everything), but I've been twice for four days each and loved it both times. No such...

One of our old programme fronts, adapted for the occasion? Top stuff.

I can't see why they should be allowed to start in the Conference, even assuming they were allowed in at all. Why should a foreign club be granted a more privileged status than, for example, Chester, Halifax or Bradford Park Avenue, all former league clubs (or clubs who came out of the ashes of...

I fairness to him (and I think he's a big-mouthed tit) he'd been found 'wanting' by a Southampton board whose side are doing rather better than Reading. It doesn't necessarily follow that he'd have taken them down if they hadn't made the change - all opinions, ain't it? If it does all happen...

I noted the operative words in your other post: "The club permitted a form of "safe standing" in the back 4 rows". If the law of the land says otherwise, the club would be acting illegally in doing so. My contention was only that your two posts contained an inherent contradiction, nothing more.

Why do they keep arguing about investment in infrastructure and improvement as if they somehow offset the obligation to pay tax? Those are exigencies of maintaining supply and an ongoing necessity, not some kind of happy bonus they're throwing in from the goodness of their hearts.

then: They can't both be true, and they're not. It's ground regulations, not the law (see my earlier link on the specific legalities). If I may speak for Captain Sensible, I suspect he was referring to a nationally agreed, formalised 'safe standing' like the Germans have, rather than just the...

According to 5Live post-game on Sunday, Reading had asked formally for permission to speak to him. If that's the case I suspect the club will grant it - can't see them trying to antagonise him by standing in his way. That could be why he's been shortened so dramatically, but it doesn't...

Did you even read my post, Guy? I understand all too well that the club don't have a choice, which is why I was criticising the regulations and not the club. I do make the choice - rather than miss out on seeing my club, I obey the rules, as I said. And I am part of the campaign to get this...

Is there a legal requirement to sit in all seated stadia? http://fsf.org.uk/assets/Uploads/Legalities-of-standing.pdf

What Reading need this season is a firefighter. It may already be too late for them but they should be looking at getting somebody in solely to keep them up, then get somebody in longer-term. For that reason I can't see Poyet going there now - anybody coming in for him must surely realise he's...

Spot on. I'm already involved. Anybody can be.

I entirely sympathise with people who cannot stand easily, but the 'solution' to this 'problem' has been idiotic catch-all legislation which makes absolutely no difference to the safety inside grounds (apart from, possibly, endangering it by having people stand in seated areas when they could be...

If you've based your purchasing decision for such a large sum of money on one game, then I'm not sure why you have a season ticket to renew in the first place. I'd be renewing no matter what, as long as I could afford it - if it's not that important to you, why buy something which financially...

Very good, but how are you pronouncing that?

Can I make a plea that henceforth this game be NSC-officially remembered as the St Patrick's Day massacre? It has such a nice ring to it...

Absolutely outstanding, that panoramic. I believe the apposite term is 'marvellous scenes'.

...eventually lead to the dilution and dissipation of the Brighton rivalry, particularly if we go longer periods not playing each other. Didn't seem to make a blind bit of difference over the more than a decade we spent struggling down among the wines and spirits in League Two. It had to be put...

Good God. That kind of considered, even-handed approach has no place on this board whatsoever...
