Reading (a)

Can't recall that game - based down here in London it is not one I would have seen. The replay was the Tuesday as I recall after the great 2-1 league win over West Ham with goals by Fuller and Healy. The match at Reading was bizarre - we were so superior initially we should have been about 5-0 up after 70 minutes but only had a single goal advantage can't remember who scored it. But then they made a substitution or two that changed the whole dynamic of the game and we ended up hanging on with a shot by them rolling just the wrong side of he post - from their point of view - in the last minute. Had it gone to extra time we would probably not have progressed.

It was indeed the Tuesday after the West Ham win Ernest but we were two up prior to a late consolation by Goater.

Thank the Lord I’m busy this time around so I don’t have to endure another defeat there.

Despite it being almost certainly the worst away ground to go to in the league we're definitely going. First league away game for 18 months. Mansfield away Tuesday as well. By a week on Sunday I'll probably be calling for another lockdown.

We seem to lose every time I go!

Think theres many with that record.

personally been 6 times and yet to see us win. A massive 1 point gained in those matches

Yes you are right two up but I have forgotten the details. Still should have been out of sight.

Seems like a lifetime since we got to watch us lose there again

Tickets on sale today. At least it’s only £20 too. Not bad value for the disappointment

£13!

When an adult, a young adult and 2 kids can go for the same price of a single adult at some stadiums it’s hard to fault reading’s away policy, more clubs need to buck their ideas

It's nothing to do with away policy.

It is same price as for home fans. As the rules require.

You’re right Justin.

Only time I’ve been there and we won 2-1.

A cracker from Cresswell and Big George put us 2-0 up before Goater scored late on.

May sort some boring talk out on here

I watched England win 7-1 there in the sixties!
Alright, it was their old ground and it was England schoolboys 😉

Elm Park? Saw North End lose 6-0 once. Was a young Lonergan in goal? Ghastly ground then / and pretty featureless now

Been to Reading once, lost 6-0 at Elm Park how's that for a lose ratio!

I was there too and its the only time !!!

We won last season so lets just ban fans and it will be 3 points again!

Lonners would have been about six at the time. He was young when he made his debut but.....

You’re thinking of Kelly I suspect Twickers.

Trevor Senior got the match ball iirc.
