Reading

On the whole, you get decent people everywhere.
You get wankers everywhere too.


Whereabouts in Reading were you born?

Royal Berks. Lived near Thatcham, so that's not Reading, but when I moved back a few years ago, I lived just off Whitley Street, and hated every single minute of it. Just the general atmosphere in town was nasty. And that's having lived in Brighton, Liverpool, Portsmouth and all parts of London inbetween. Reading's by far the nastiest place I've lived.

West Ham.

and Orient

and Orient

I don't count Orient, because every time we play them our fans are greeted at the tube by.....West Ham!

- although Reading is indeed a hole. Not a big fan of gun crime and that sort of thing so Bournemouth is far better.

Ah, but what a tube. Bit of aggro, one quick push and you're on the A12 below. Marvellous danger to the public.

Reading is a complete shithole. Have to go there for uni and I hate the place.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

I do tend to avoid Whitley like the plague though.

Believe me, I did avoid Whitley like the plague. But Whitley St, where I lived, was only a ten minute walk from the Oracle. So glad to be back in London.

I've lived in Caversham for almost 9 years, and I've never had any problems in any part of Reading, or thought of it to be particularly unpleasant.

What the f*** is wrong with whitly/wood

Nothing wrong with reading whats so ever,its much improved end of,10 years ago here,well you all know what it was like then pure shite.

Being that im a regualar living in whitley,and a member of its community need i say more.

Stop blabbing on about reading and its downsides,its modern has loads of good paid jobs,and some good pubs.

People say beggers bla bla bla,but brighton has much more violent beggers than reading,thats a fact.It really isn't that bad here seriously.I do love living here for many reasons.

I love brighton and reading



O yeah whitley street ha ha ha,well what can you say

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Maybe Mr Shit likes living in a shit hole Whatever you say Turd, I still hate the f***ing place with a vengeance.

Oxford road and cemetrary junction are the shite parts of reading

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

The return to the Madjeski is only a couple of days away. Thought I might resurrect this CLASSIC thread that saw the birth of the "intimidating atmosphere".

 

[Simster]

What are you trying to imply?
Football fans come from a cross section of society, and to have a go at a Reading fan for being 'thick' is beyond belief.
You think all Brighton fans have Master's Degrees?

We've had opposition managers and fans commenting on an intimidating atmosphere at the Madejski within the last few weeks, so it seems that what you know about the atmosphere in the Madejski could be written on the back of a raffle ticket.

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

I think you described the intimidating atmosphere as:

READING READING RAH RAH!

Something like that isn't it?

You need a bit of drum action as well...

 

[Parson Henry]

Bong Bong Bong - Royal Army - Bong Bong Bong - Royal Army

DEAFENING!!!

 

[Uncle Buck]

Bong Bong Bong - Royal Army - Bong Bong Bong - Royal Army

DEAFENING!!!

Slightly nerve wracking as well.

Now throw in a couple of brass instruments, a spakey mascot, silly wigs, painted faces and off you go.

 

[Parson Henry]

Pointing at our players and singing to the tune of Go West......

He's good Stevie sign that one..He's good Stevie sign that one...

 

[Ex Shelton Seagull]

Knock it off you two. Just SEEING the atmosphere written down on a messageboard is traumatising enough.

That mascot running towards you, well I would rather spend the afternoon in the pub with Pete Canning, than go through an intimidating experiece like that...
