So rather that get better players, play more exciting, actually perform and challenge near the top end of the table...

You instead choose to cut the away end up (which creates noise first off), move the same set of fans that were already in the stadium and just empty other parts of the ground.

All to create an atmosphere.

In a nutshell it sums Reading FC up...
Manufactured.

What next? Hand out clappers like Fulham?
