I assumed that this is mainly about begging at the ground?

Whatever you think of the match commentary, the half-time analysis is rubbish.

I can probably get used to the main commentator, but swapping journalists/experienced pros for a podcaster seems a bit too 21st-century for me. Are they going to pick the commentary team according to how many followers they have on TikTok from now on?

Anyone else got this on RoyalsTV and not getting Beeb Berks? Or is RoyalsTV commentary no longer going to be on Beeb Berks? Sadly Tim isn’t on RoyalTV, presume it’s the new club web team. I know many of you will be upset by this news :D Who are these muppets? The co-commentator has just said he onl...

PieEater I'm not sure if we can be bothered to see the Imp in the cathedral or the Magna Carta in the castle prematch.

Skip the match? The cathedral is amazing, and I’ve only seen it from the outside.

Pepe the Horseman If only there was a middle ground. You can't tell fans it's going to be a spectacular transfer window then blame them for having unrealistic expectations.

I think you can blame people for not just rolling their eyes and ignoring obvious American hyperbolic bullshit.

What a superb gesture. Port Vale's a bit of an underrated away day. Nice ground and the Bulls Head is a cracking Titanic pub. It was great in there last year. I'm not sure Port Vale have got this right, we contributed to their statue as the match was abandoned and their fans made the expensive trip...

It’s you, isn’t it Scutz?

To state the bleeding obvious, to do well we just need to score one goal more than our opponents in most games. There’s lots of ways we could do that, no need to get hung up on a big goal-scorer. We could have a couple of top strikers, or we could have a bang average front line with the best defence...

The transfer window lasts until the end of August, no? Still plenty of time to bring in a couple of players if we need to, even if it isn’t in time for the start of the season. At least if we lose Knibbs, it’s more on our terms - we don’t have to sell, we don’t have to accept low-ball offers, we can...

The Royal Forester On RFC's website go to matches and then match centre. Has a listen live option.

As with last week: “ERROR”.

Fortunately, there’s no embargo on BBC Sounds.

We’re driving down to Cornwall today. Don’t suppose we’ll have an online commentary this week, will we? Presume you can listen to it via BBC Berks on the BBC Sounds app for free, or pay the club a fiver to listen to the same commentary on the Reading FC App courtesy of RoyalTV or both in an attempt...

It looks like there is but will cost a few quid

I was hoping it would be covered by my subscription, and not an extra.

We’re driving down to Cornwall today. Don’t suppose we’ll have an online commentary this week, will we? I seem to remember Tim or Ady saying two or three weeks ago that Radio Berks. will be doing a commentary today, You could try them as the "blackout" won't count today, as it's not a lea...

I wouldn’t put it down purely to fickleness. I’ve lived away from the area for almost 30 years, so it’s a long time since I could reasonably expect to do even most of the home games. But I had a ST during the seasons in the PL, because otherwise I expected to struggle to get tickets for any game.

Jackson Corner Well Brighton took some of our promising young players when we were struggling. Short memories

They paid us a fee, though, right? Rather than waiting gleefully on the sidelines for the players to cancel their contracts and leave for nothing.

Ah, as I read it, the club have 15 days after receiving a player's notice to make a payment and cancel the notice, so might need to wait a little longer yet.

Think the point is that if the players aren’t paid this month, they can hand in their notice and leave for free.

Ian wanted Brogue to post more information. Blame him. Any reasonable* person would have posted We're apparently interested in 19-year-old Chelsea midfielder Leo Castledine - one senior appearance in 2024 as a sub in the League Cup semi-final; two goals in 26 appearances on loan to Shrewsbury last ...
