Stop being a whore and drive there. Park up at Mereoak park and ride and get the bus in. Easy Peasy. The Mereoak buses are running.
I haven’t forgiven you for the curse you placed on my club two years ago. You should be ashamed Splotty P.

Ince claims Reading were close to getting Kipre in this window, but Cardiff stepped in and the rest is history!

A bit baffled as to why so many buses aren’t running. If I wasn’t driving I would join you. I do a few Cheltenham home games when Reading are not at home and get a lift to the pub so that I can drink. Outside of that I don’t drink when I go games as getting the train and then the bus is too much like hard work

Actually is there a decent place in town that will not be rammed. Food not an issue as my son is going to have a Wendys for lunch and I'm happy with a few beers and a pie at the ground.

The Nags Head in Russell Street is decent. It’s about a 15 min walk from the train station.

Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Mike. I have been informed The Butler in Chatham Street is a decent shout. Avoid the Three Guineas which is right outside the train station. It will be rammed and very loud and is a complete rip off. Not somewhere I would go on match day.

Yes you should be fine and can park up there and walk to the ground....it is a fair walk though circa 25 mins.

Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Same chain as upper Boat I believe. I was there a few weeks ago.

Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Weren’t Reading on the bones of a threadbare squad when they beat us 1-0 at CCS last season?
Take nothing for granted in this league.
Would be nice to see us have a decent performance to back up the battling one from last week

MATCH FACTS
- Reading lost their last league game against Cardiff in April, having gone 10 games in a row without defeat against them between 2016 and 2021 (W5 D5).
- Following a 2-1 win at the Madejski Stadium last season, Cardiff are looking to win consecutive away league games against the Royals for the first time since September 2001.
- Reading have lost their last four league games in a row, failing to score in each defeat. The Royals last lost five consecutive league matches without netting a goal in March 1998.
- Cardiff have won their last two games in the Championship, despite only attempting a total of six shots across the two (1-0 v Derby and Norwich, three in each).
- The last time they won three in a row in the league without conceding a goal was in December 2020, under Neil Harris.
- Cardiff manager Steve Morison is looking to win three consecutive league games for only the second time as Bluebirds boss, while he is looking to register three consecutive league shutouts for the first time.

Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Yes, everything points to a 1-0 Reading win. 😥

Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I'd like Denham to replace Ng for this one but I imagine we'll start with Nelson
-
Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Would not start Ralls. Looked way off the pace when he came on last Saturday.
Nelson may have to start but I am worried. Don’t ask him to play out from the back as Morison is urging them to do.
I would keep Watters up front but maybe sub him for Ete at HT
-
Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Totally agree. Surprised Nelson survived the clear out
-
Re: READING v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Same team please drive. With Philogene and Etete coming off the bench :ayatollah:

I agree with Denham replacing NG. However, I think Morison will feel Etete hasn't had enough time to familiarise himself with the setup yet.
I can see Philogene getting some game time.
I would rather Ralls and Nelson were not on the pitch at the same time.
