C'mon you Royals!


After a hard fought physical battle with Wolves at the Mad Stad and then a tough 0 - 0 draw at Loftus Rd with QPR, we are still occupying second place in the Championship table.

Both games were marred by rough weather conditions and absolutely awful pitches particularly at the Mad Stad, How long can we continue to watch the level of winter football imposed on us due to the damage caused by the egg chasers? It could well cost us promotion, pay them and get them "off our land" :-)

Now, Loftus Road for our £30 ticket we got an absolutely awful restricted view seat on the left of the top tier. When booking or on the ticket the words "restricted view" of course fail to appear!!

We had a youngster with us who was very disappointed to be unable to see most of one goal...

The stewarding was some of the most ineffective and aggressive that I have experienced in some years, that's when they are not standing in the way of an already restricted view!

Beer was being consumed in plain sight of the pitch, but the stewards ands particularly the "Response Team" (bouncers??) were more interested in throwing out fans who were standing to try and watch the game from their restricted view seats and very aggressive with it!

This was not confined to Reading fans however, as we could see the same happening to QPR fans in various parts of the stadium. "Customers" are obviously not too important at Loftus Rd?

Ah well at least we didn't lose, QPR look a pretty good side and I think will be there or there abouts come the end of the season.
