@calum_lives @kitsthefaerie Queue was evacuated after a shutdown, not to make sure it closed on time, it was testing on 2 trains on and off all evening but seemed to have issues, they did open it at around 10 mins before park closed assume on one train, hopefully will be sorted soon!

[Marc @Simps100]

@MikePea73444529 @longlaneroyal Should they have increased prices for everyone then? (Genuine question)

[Marc @Simps100]

@AdamHumphries96 @j11mmy_ Tbf the club needs a way to make extra money if we want to keep things like Bearwood / Cat 1 academy whilst in league one, I think one royal with extra perks is a pretty fair way of doing that whilst keeping the price is the same for those not interested in the extras

[Marc @Simps100]

@mrblthomas @mattwilliams100 @ReadingFC Agreed, think it’s a huge step forward with screen showing highlights again (think this was canned in the Dai years)

Agree they should start showing half time scores on the screen again, would be nice if every few mins it would cut from the live stream to showing lineups too

[Marc @Simps100]

@Kaillie55 @JosephhhWhite @JohnDzervitis @ReadingFC I’m sure club has given 1871 to away fans for cup games long before these owners come in?

[Marc @Simps100]

@PictonPedro @Houlton11 @ramy_abousetta Tbf I mostly think one royal is a good idea, personally I’ve no issue with loyalty points being awarded for attendance although not too keen on higher tiers getting more points. Do agree with squad, I think it’s better than last seasons but we definitely need some depth

[Marc @Simps100]

@stixflix06 @jonathan_lara Think Preston might of moved their cup game v Everton after they’ve done similar work to us on their pitch.. it’s not ideal though I agree it don’t look great on us but hopefully it’s in great condition ready for Luton at home..

[Marc @Simps100]

@AndyRFCCharman @ReadingFC Sounds like maybe just the heat too🤷‍♂️ agree would be interesting if they did an interview with a grounds person explaining the issues though

[Supporters’ Trust At Reading @STARReading]

Sensible decision, we can’t risk any injuries if the pitch isn’t ready. It’s been less than ideal growing conditions. We understand it is due to soil temperature rather than lack of watering. #readingfc

[Marc @Simps100]

@OriginalHo0ps @stixflix06 Star have suggested it’s more an issue with temperatures rather than watering tbf

[Marc @Simps100]

@AndyRFCCharman @ednoni I’m certain the pitch has been watered.. I hope if there is a delay the club come out with details on what the actual issue is I guess there’s probably a bit more to it!

[Marc @Simps100]

@readingfc145 @catania_rick15 @js_browny Tbf I don’t think it’s been bad so far but we definitely need more especially with Kelvin off and Marriot injured again.

[Marc @Simps100]

@AndyRFCCharman @joewilliams200 I don’t care about the fireworks either way, but the clubs still losing literally millions a year, things like that don’t touch the sides, none of us want to see the academy / training ground cut down or higher ticket prices so maximising sponsorship is surely the best solution

[Marc @Simps100]

@AndyRFCCharman @joewilliams200 But what would you do instead? Higher ticket prices? Smaller academy / training ground?

Ultimately at this level the club needs to do all it can to survive, the more income we get the more competitive we can be which is what we all want ultimately

[Marc @Simps100]

@adsavory That’s fair enough, tbf I thought the club was still losing around a million a month so don’t think we are anywhere near a month making machine, suspect it’s one where club can’t win either way

[Marc @Simps100]

@jamie_c1995 @ReadingFC @MrVegas_Casino Yeah no doubt but assume Mr Vegas offered the most money, I get why some are against it but I guess for me we are a league one club trying to run a premier league standard training ground / academy with average attendances, I guess the club can’t afford to be picky in this case

[Marc @Simps100]

@jamie_c1995 @ReadingFC @MrVegas_Casino Tbf don’t think there’s much chance of Sky Bet leagues banning betting sponsors! I get why the club are doing it, don’t think they can win, people would equally complain if ticket prices went up to cover some of the losses we have

[Marc @Simps100]

@Y21_Ding @Read1O6 @RoyalsReviewPod See your point but we do literally play in the sky bet league one.. SCL were good for us but the club needs to make as much money as it can so not against it assuming Mr vegas have made a much better offer

[Marc @Simps100]

@MattHay40492026 @ReadingFC @SC_Leasing Who ever offers the most should be on the front, that way maybe we can avoid needing to be bailed out again in future? 🤷‍♂️
