    It looks like both the ED Stand (North Stand) and the South Stand will be pretty much sold out tomorrow. It should be our second highest gate of the season at around 16,000 hopefully.

    If you were planning to park at the stadium car parking is now sold out.
    Best bet is Mereoak Park and ride which is just a mike off the M4 exit(follow signs to Basingstoke). It’s also pretty cheap at around £6 return

    Reading likely to make one change from the Stoke game. I reckon the team will be

    Nyland
    Yiadom
    Holmes
    Morrison
    McIntyre
    Drinkwater
    Laurent
    Ince
    Hoilett
    Swift
    Joao

    Junior has proven to be a good signing and I hope he stays for next season.

      We know what Junior does best, cuts in from left wing and fires a shot, often successfully, from the edge of the box. Hopefully 'as a City fan ' Dramah is alive to this. 😀
      I was surprised he didn't go to the MLS, instead of you this season.
      Canada qualifying for the WC complicates matters as regards next season, and I guess that will be his main focus.

        Ratcliffe

        Drameh
        Ng
        Denham
        McGuinness
        Bagan

        Wintle
        Ralls
        Colwill

        Davies
        Hugill

        1-1


        King, Bowen, Semenyo and Leahy should all get some time in the first team quad for the remaining games as well imo.

          This is helpful. (the parking part!) Thank you.

          Is there anywhere else near the ground to park that you would recommend, within walking distance? I remember that there used to be…… (in preference to park and ride I mean)

            The club were saying this morning there was limited car parking available at the old Greyhound Stadium in Bennet Road. You would need to ring the club to get the parking space.

              Bobby. Also worth thinking about parking At the World Turned Upside Down pub, 387 Basingstoke Road. If you buy a beer in the pub you can usually park up and walk to the ground but it’s a good twenty minute walk.

                  There will be a fair few changes I'm sure but shuffling the pack rather than a load of kids playing.

                  Someone mentioned to me that Smithies isn't fit to play, though I presume they'd want to have a better look at Philips next few weeks anyway.

                    I really hope he doesnt pick any players out of contract in the summer unless there is a player who he wants who hasnt yet been offered a deal.

                    Id leave them all out.

                    If his answer is to bring Pack , Bacuna , Vaulks etc then I will lose total faith in what he is trying to do.

                    Lets add in King and Bowen to the bench. Denham , Colwill , Davies to the starting line up.

                              What horse ? We lost one game. He has achieved what he was brought in for, changed our style of play and brought on the youngsters. I would say that is pretty good, wouldn't you ?
