What the hell is your team doing they look so good :thumbup:
Cheers Jeeps. We have some technically great players.
I appreciate that Bournemouth are a better team than us, but it would be nice to see Harry Wilson put in the sort of performance that David Brooks did in the second half this evening.
You just need to do the same every game.Your forwards are very good.Quote:

Yes and no. Yes for the atmosphere in floodlit midweek games. No in that I’m only 5 ft 5 and there were some games when it was packed out where I couldn’t see a bloody thing. It was also more pleasant taking my lad when he was little to the Madejski. Really hacked off not going to games this season. We did two games in December but tonight we would have had 20,000 at the game and it would have been brilliant.Quote:

Parking is great. Just use the park and ride at Mereoak. Costs a fiver and I get in and out of the stadium without the hassle of all the match day traffic. I drive to Mereoak which is only a mile off the M4Quote:

It shows the likes of us that it can be done.:thumbup:Quote:

I do fear that if they don’t go up this season they will be forced to sell and that side will get broken up. Commentator was saying last night Bayern Munich are sniffing around Omar Richards
Who knew Joao was such a fantastic player? Always thought he was just a big lump at Wednesday. He’s got terrific feet for a big fella.
I’m not fussed at all on the location, I’m more for having the ground within easy walking distance of an area such as Canton, pubs, cafes etc rather than being amongst PC World, Ikea, B & Q and the like. Years ago though we were in an area of Reading, it must have been prior to an Elm Park game, with pubs, clubs etc. Every pub we tried was reluctant to let City fans in, anyway we try a local working mans’ club, looked like a shop from the outside with net curtains in the windows. The obligatory bloke on the door asks, “Are you members?” Negative, “Are you from Cardiff?” Negative. He’s still doubtful until the late sadly missed Derek Smith pulls out his trump card, his CIU membership with Cathays Liberal Club, Cardiff clearly displayed on the front, shows it to the doorman. Doorman, laughs, let’s us in and on leaving even invited us back if we wanted to after the game. The MacDonalds by the Madjeski sadly doesn’t have the same romance.Quote:

You make a good point there.. not only have they come through the academy a couple are fans as wellQuote:

Every little helps!!!
Agree with all of this. If we don’t go up we will lose Olise in the summer. We may well lose Richards for nothing. This team is a joy to watch, Apart from pens Joao has been fantastic this season.Quote:
