I have to work with several Reading season tickets holders and they were so pleased when we were relegated.
Apparently BHA had sent a fax to Brentford before their promotion game the season before suggesting that we wanted Brentford to win and for them to go up instead of Reading.
I have had to suffer loads of stick since we went down and have returned it in spades since Pardew went but that appears to be coming back to haunt me.
At the end of the day it's about money, they have lots, we have none. They are buying success just like Chelsea, and now they will be buying our manager.
Reading really have been a problem for us in recent years (though perhaps strangely not on the pitch!) and my dislike/hatred of them is growing all the time.
after seeing that greasy haired **** of a chairman on there spouting how West Ham have stolen their manager and how livid he was and now he wants to steal ours.the whole Sidwell saga got me well steamed up now this.who next Leon Knight?.i really do fuckin hate them.
Part of the problem with Palace is that a Palace supporter may move out of south London and move in right next door to you. The same thing is happening with people from Reading.
palace i hate, but they are our rivals. its banter and part of history.
reading i really feel hate for now though, almost uncontrolable rage. i hate everything about them. what they stand for, the fact they have a sugar daddy. the fact that meridan tried to claim they were champs 2 years ago.
