On the U21's front does anyone know how John Clark is doing; Is he near to a return yet? Tuma also - he's been out all season and most of pre-season. Osho too?

When we spoke to John Clarke at the Bearwood Day he was targeting a late November to Christmas return

Anyone going to watch the U 21’s at Aldershot on Friday can i suggest you buy your ticket before you go from Aldershot FC as the prices rise on match day.

Have ticket prices at the Mad Stad gone up this season? Noticed the Newcastle game is £6; thought they were £4 last season.

Yes i was paying £3 as a concession last season if bought early and it’s now £4 for this season.

The OS is still utter garbage when it comes to the youth sections. The U21s squad comprises just 10 players (not even enough for a team) while the U18s squad is completely non existent. The club really needs to do something about this.

Also where did Rhys(?) Evans suddenly come from? When did he sign & how long for? He already seems to be the best young striking prospect in quite a while after just 20 minutes of a game!

What is it with Reading that finding useful info on young players is always like getting blood out of a stone?
