• Thank you all very much for sharing your time with us in 2025. We hope you all have a safe and happy 2026!

Who will get promoted from the Championship ?

Not much near the ground. Only a Holiday Inn bar about 15 mins away. The Madejski Hotel is nice but expensive and home fans only!
 
Is that the sound of glory hunters coming out of the woodwork ;)

Cheeky monkey, where were you when we we were in the old fourth division ? Probably not born come to think about it.:eek:

Louise, The Three Guineas on the station approach is designated an away supporters pub. It is miles from the ground though so only worth going to if you are coming down by train. Reading is dreadful for decent pubs, so recommend if you are driving down you find somewhere out of town.
 
Hull City unbeaten in 11 games now I think....but for a couple of wins we'd be well up there .......who knows, we've done it before in the playoffs
 
Southampton still going well, despite my feeling they would hiccup again but everyone else is stuttering, even Reading lost badly last night. Will Big Sam revert to type with West Ham having a bad run? Will a long season fiballly tell on Birmingham? Will the mighty Blackpool get on a good run and seal a place place, we have some gig games coming up Leicester at home tonight followed by Reading away and Southampton at home. April looks easier but who knows in this division.
 
Not bothered about our defeat. That's 3 away games in a row we had so always hard to carry on picking up points away. West Ham only drawing made the night acceptable. Another awful performance by them highlights the pressure they're under to go up. We're still exceeding all expectations so just happy to be up there.

West Ham have a tough few games coming up so if we can beat Blackpool then we'll be in good shape for the big game at Upton Park next weekend :thup:
 
Quite a game at Bloomfield Rd tonight, late equaliser for a 3-3 draw, we were exposed by quick breakaways and set pieces as usual. Could be a long drive back on Saturday, but we have had some great performances away from home this season so I will go down optimistic.
 
Just getting ready to leave for the big game against Blackpool. Need a win to stay ahead of the Hammers, and also so I don't get a load of stick from Louise. Might even have a few beers seeing as it is a bit on the hot side.:whistle:
 
Fair play Richart you were far better, just got home, it has been a long day, nice few drinksa pre match at a nice pub in Theale was the hoghlight. First trip to the Maj Stad, decent place with good facilities and a very good choice of food. Pitch looked good, and they play rugby on it too. far better than our pitch.

Glad you had a good day Louise, even if the result didn't go your way. Cracking goal Blackpool scored, the shot was hit straight at us where we sat behind the goal, and it was in the moment LuaLua hit it. Did you see Pearce our centre half take out the referee ? :)
 
Great win today for Blackpool and also from Reading, thew other results were good for both teams too. Hope everyone enjoyed watching the Tangerines on TV.
