Good luck this season anyway.

You will find that most Reading fans would quite like to see Brighton do well this season, just not better than us.

Exciting times again for you all.

Thanks. I retract my stinging view on Reading's plastic population where decent awayers like you are concerned.

It's good to have you here in the Championship and even better that one of the teams you replaced was Sheff United. I know for the Clubs purposes the prem is the place to be, but in my and many other Reading fans opinion this is the best league to be in.
Good football, good crowds, going into EVERY game with a chance of getting a result and without the complete rip off that is the premier league.

Wouldn't disagree with what you are saying and I know you have been there and 'done it recently' but seems to me that, with the parachute payments which I know are supposed to assist over what 2/3 years, if you don't go straight back up, you become like the others in the Championship, ie. disadvantaged due to the carve up of the TV money which is so biased in favour of the Premiership. Needs redressing in my view ! Bugger elitism !

The trouble with getting to the prem for clubs like ours is that unless you are prepared to gamble everything you have got in a desperate bid to stay there, the chances are you won't.
It's a great experience for the fans to follow their club at all the big clubs but the lure of £65 a ticket at some places soon wears off.
Nice to have been there and done it recently but on our forum before the Wembley final a lot of our fans were saying 'if only we could come to an arrangement to enjoy the experience of a win at Wembley but let Swansea go up' says it all really.
You're a club in the up and your ambition must be the premier league and it's a great experience for our type of clubs. You'll love it when you get there but in my experience it ,makes you appreciate the championship even more.

A decent Reading fan. Really interesting to hear your views on your time in the Premiership.

I think it's easy to aspire to being in the premiership but I wonder how different an experience it will be and whether it really is so much better.

The game that you are all on about was it the one at Elm Park near bonfire night when the police refused to open the gates at the end and kept us in a little corner until somebody threw a firework under a police horse which reared up throwing the rider off. That would have been late 70s early 80s cant be exactly sure. I have nothing against Reading or the fans but do have sypathy with them because the seats at The Madjeski are facing the wrong way, if you sit on them you have to watch the football.

They were one of our fiecest rivals in the days of Robin Friday.

Although our 2nd season syndrome was as much to do with not being able to live up to our fantastic first season, the cost of it all coupled with the madness trying to get tickets was all too much.
Great in the first season but a bit of the 'been there done that' in the second.

Please please please sign Karacan up. Thought he was excellent last year in the times i saw Reading play. He may not be tall but he makes up for that with real gritt and determination. A premiership player in the making.
