This phrase is so RIDICULOUS it deserves it's own thread

[Artois]

intimidating atmosphere at the Madejski

 

[Wilka]

 

[Knightsworld]

WTF

 

[Simster]

ask Neil Warnock...

Heres a funier phrase...

Noise at the Withdean.

Nope, you're wrong. Every now and then there IS noise at Withdean but there is NEVER an intimidating atmosphere at your place.

 

[Marc]

WTF does Neil Warnock know? pretty much everybody in the league, including Sheff Utd fans, all agree the blokes a twat!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Never when Brighton are in town...
Maybe people in Reading just don't take you seriously?

Saturday night in Reading town centre, now that IS intimidating. But the Madjeski? Nah!

 

[Parson Henry]

Quite agree. We are a light hearted jovial bunch who seldom take things seriously.

You didn't take us seriously at Elm Park why at the Syrupski stadia?

On the first day many Rs (is that u or QPR?) took us seriously but then the bankroll rolled in and we lost.

Tsk Tsk we must try harder and return with a better side funded by a really rich fellow.

I was in the west stand at the mad stad for the wigan game the other week as a neutral (ish anyway) viewer.

Quite honestly the atmosphere was pathetic and I got stared at several times for explaining to the ref that he seemed to have lost touch with his mother and father and they never seemed to formalise their relationship. I know home fans are always quiet but th atmos at mad stad is NOT intimidating.

All too true sadly

I never bother with Reading town centre of an evening anymore, especially at weekends.

I watch Reading fairly often and can honestly say the noise at big Withdean games (Chesterfield, Cardiff, Swindon etc) is much louder than anything i've heard from Reading at home. I'd say the attendance at Reading is about 7000 die hards + people who just want to see a match, not support reading.

f***ing nasty place. Lost count of the number of times I'd go out in an evening and see mounted police.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Good call Artois - it's own thread is fully deserved.

Is there a definition of "intimidating" of which I am unaware ? Is there emphasis on the "timid" ?

Perhaps it is the juxtaposition of "atmosphere" that changes it's definition.

I will have to pass this over to the NSC wordsmiths.

 

[readingstockport]

Geezer got shot in the neck on Friday at cemetery junction. Died

 

[Simster]

Yeah but just imagine the WHITE HOT atmosphere at elm park for the RAUCIOUS Reading v Aldershot derby in front of nearly 5,000.

Proper passion, that was.

 

[Marc]

the ONLY time the Mad Stad is full and possibly intimidating (if you're a barman perhaps):

Even when we came to you when it was a crunch title decider and a full house there was no atmosphere from the reading fans.

 

[Man of Harveys]

I've been reading NSC for quite a few years and this is without doubt that daftest claim I have ever seen - even Twatford O's risible flights of fancy about Orient overtaking us etc. had more credibility.

To be fair, no it didn't.

Come off it, just have a little read of this again:

I think a poll is in order.

Hold on whilst I set one up.
