    We could make a killing if we let them all pre-order a flatbread.

    Already probably the biggest amount they have ever brought to us, without possibly bringing 1800 if they sell the second batch of 900.

    Got to be by far their biggest ever following to us, as I can only ever remember below a thousand usually? Oh and someone from our media department please praise the Reading media department tomorrow for the gorgeous photo they have used. Lovely to see they haven't gone down the usual route clubs take of picturing our rotting west stand. The photo shows just how good our ground is, how much land we have and how good our outdoor facilities are :)

    Its definitely a better photo than most use and not surprising they are bringing double their usual following. Massive game nailed on draw

    Always enjoyed a trip to Reading, more so Elm Park mind , cracking ground that was!
    Madejski stadium is nice, but no character, like most new builds.
    Ours is crap lol

    Madejski is a crap away day. Much prefer Elm Park back in the day but that’s probably cos I’m an old git!

    I enjoyed Elm Park as well. Proper old style football ground and an easy walk from the town centre

    I loved our 3 nill win at Elm Park in the early 90s as my first ever away match. To this day it's the only ground I have been to where the coach parked so close to the turnstile you could jump off the coach and reach it.

    Went to Elm Park three times. 3 defeats. 1-0, 7-0, 3-2. The new ground once (as a birthday treat!) was -32 degrees and I had our lass with me. Drew 0-0. Like winning the World Cup………she thought otherwise.

    I should bloody hope they're bringing a few up, 5 points ahead and at a ground they never lose at - we'd probably have double that down there.

    Elm Park .... the day in 1996/7 (???) when we won towards the end of our promotion season.
    And wasnt that the same day that Wolves failed to win which really boosted our chance of promotion?
    Great day out.

    It was Easter Monday 1997. This was the day when we truly believed the dream was happening. The Reds were going up. The sun was beating down on Elm Park when we beat Reading 2.1, then found out Wolves had come from 2.0 to grab a draw, but even that couldn't put a dampener on our spirits. 4 points clear of Wolves with a game in hand, the rest is history my friends...... :):)
