Excellent, really lovely thing to do

[Reading FC @ReadingFC]

A day of learning, reflection and remembrance. ❤️

Local Year 6 pupils were joined by Leam Richardson & James Beattie at the SCL today - to explore the stories of former Royals who served during the First World War, paying tribute through a series of educational and creative activities.

The day also included a two-minute silence at 11AM.

We will remember them.

"The immediacy is always for the first team to be pushing for promotion, so when do you risk a novice from the academy?"

@ohbobbins on #ReadingFC's Posh win, Kevin Mfuamba's performance against Rovers, and what the youth pathway now looks like.

"It was a fantastic testament to this young Royals side, who refused to panic, stuck to their footballing principles and fought until the end."

@jamiewykes99 looks closer at #ReadingFC under-21s' performance against Newcastle on Friday.

RATINGS: Jerae Jones was @harry_chafer's standout from a decent #ReadingFC display at The Mem tonight.

Who were you most impressed by?

few people chanting "sideways and backwards" tonight. very odd.

double take of all double takes when reading this bit of Warlock by Oakley Hall

[Simeon Pickup @SimFromBucks]

not sure how much to look forward to a cup game which we probably

a) won't take seriously
b) won't turn up for
c) won't get a good enough result in

...but also one in which we MIGHT get through to the knockout stages against the odds

[Simeon Pickup @SimFromBucks]

@Houlton11 got into the final stages of the draw and I was terrified we were getting Rotherham away

Her: I'm really into older guys.

Me: (trying to impress her) Would you like a Werther’s Original?

[Simeon Pickup @SimFromBucks]

what's the general feeling on the shift from paper tickets to digital tickets for away games?

imo nice to have a collection of old tickets but i don't miss having to ask for a spare to be left as my ticket's not arrived in the post (increasingly common in recent years...)

"Having battled so hard to turn the game around, the feeling will be that two valuable points were left behind in another entertaining - but ultimately frustrating - 3-3 draw."

READ: Big improvements from #ReadingFC (albeit against poor opposition) and an impressive performance from Charlie Savage meant Loyal Royals were a happy bunch after Saturday's win at Posh.

my unpopular (?) opinion is that, while scenes like this *look* v weird when everyone's being filmed, it's actually just a load of ppl who've

a) chosen to turn up in person because they value the occasion
b) are perfectly capable of filming something and enjoying it in real time
