Matt is joined by Dave and Ian to discuss the 2-2 draw at Adams Park.
Yesterday I think has given us hope of a turnaround under Hunt.
And those limbs after Wings goal 🔥

A pleasure to join the lads on the pod this weekend, despite the way the season has started.
Getting increasingly worried about the trajectory of this season, which is a ridiculous thing to be saying after 3 games

Alex joins Dave & Paul to discuss the 3rd successive league defeat. Another game which raises more questions about the squad, defensive woes & invisible attacking threat

Had the privilege of presenting a Hall of Fame award on behalf of @STARReading, getting to meet the wonderful family of a true Reading legend- scorer of our first goal in the Football League, amongst many other remarkable achievements on and off the pitch #readingfc
We had the honour of meeting Joe Bailey's Family on Saturday. Joe was enrolled into the STAR Hall Of Fame in 2017 but we couldn't find a relative. Joe's grand daughter found it on the internet and we arranged to meet up. @shakefon presented the award.
JOE BAILEY
1911-1921. 201 appearances, 80 goals
Achieving an incredible scoring ratio of one goal in every two and half games there have been few players who were more popular with Reading supporters than Joe Bailey. Although named Walter he was known as Joe and was nicknamed ‘Bubbles’, he joined Reading as an amateur in 1911, but after injury ruled him out of the squad for the 1912 Stockholm Olympics he turned professional. A regular goal scorer throughout his career he forged a dynamic strike partnership with Allen Foster who tragically died in the war.
As well as scoring in every one of the club’s five successful Italian tour games in 1913, Joe was our top scorer in the club’s last season in the Southern League and also the first season in the Football League (1920-21); that included netting Reading’s first-ever League goal, against Newport County.
At the outbreak of the Great War Joe volunteered for the Middlesex Regiment’s Footballers’ Battalion as a private. He earned a commission and ended the war as a captain in the Suffolk Regiment, having been awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross, with two bars, making him the most decorated officer in that regiment.
Joe left Elm Park in 1921 to become a cricket coach at Warwick School but not before the club had arranged a benefit game, for which he famously sold a ticket to a real Royal, the future King Edward VIII. As part of his benefit season, Reading Ladies played Swindon Ladies at Elm Park on Good Friday 1921 in front of 9,000 spectators, the largest crowd ever to watch a women’s match in Reading and to support one of the club’s greatest heroes.

How shit must you be were winning away is possibly the worst.
Got sung at Barnsley last weekend 3 days after we’d just won away from home, tragic chant.

It felt fitting that we all recorded this together last night at the SCL on the day we secured another season of L1 football👍🏻
Have a listen and let us know your thoughts👇🏻

@ChezvegasRoyal No more Reading I’m afraid. An England one with Kane printed on it, an older Leeds one and a Roma one from last 5-10 years
