lordswoodsaints Posted 22 November, 2008 Share Posted 22 November, 2008 they know alot about us because they were probably saints fans until about 3 years ago. how many of those fans there today actually went to elm park? i bet i have been there more times than 50% of them.

Winchester Posted 23 November, 2008 Share Posted 23 November, 2008 Probably, to be fair. We have a lot of younger fans, and we've been at the Madejski for 10 years - they would have only been little children when we moved. We've also got a lot of new fans as well... I spoke to a saints fan in his early twenties on the train back yesterday, and he told me he'd been going about 3 or 4 years - Would you be as disparaging about him? I'm 22 and I only went there about 7 times, been supporting my club for 11 years. Is that a bad thing? You can't grow without new fans - And IIRC, you built a stadium twice the size of your old one as well We're very much in the same boat I think! And we know a lot about you because Meridian rather liked you, and we had to sit through the bigger club's highlights before our own when we were in Division 2 and you were Premiership...

Mole Posted 23 November, 2008 Share Posted 23 November, 2008 Reading have no local rivals as such and need to muscle in on rivalries to feel like they belong. They see us in much the same way as Plymouth do - we are the big boys in their eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They see us in much the same way as Plymouth do - we are the big boys in their eyes. Do Plymouth really see us as rivals? I know there was a bit of anger from then in our first few seasons at this level over Sturrock, but as far as I understand we seem to get on alright with them now, and they don't really consider us to be the enemy. Have I just not been paying attention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
