Was at the fixture a couple of years ago when we won 3-0. It was a fantastic performance, Bellamy was superb as was Etherington. Hoping for the same scoreline again this time.

To be honest though, no one should be allowed in anywhere wearing one of them :)

I looked up their attendances earlier most they've had is 21,700 when Southampton went there.

Do they still see us as some sort of rival? I know we nicked Pardew but thats not enough to warrant a rivalry.

What as in another championship rival or as in our Millwa*k rivalry? If the latter then they're having a giggle!
Don't they have handbags and tractor races with bloody Oxford or Swindon?
Christ having been in their end when we got stuffed 6 zip and when we won 3-0 I've been more intimidated by the vicar at a church fete.

I would say they see us in the same light as we see teams like: Palace, Arsenal and Charlton. Not massive rivalries but there is always a sense of "we need to win these games" I only think they do see us a rivals because they never play either: Swindon, Oxford or Aldershot :?

I love that they only ever sell-out against us:

Lovely ....

The metallic posts topped with cylindrical discs surrounding the stadium are methane gas vents, built to accommodate the underground build-up of gases - the stadium was built on the site of a household waste dump!

Sounds like Lansbury could be back for this. Would have him on the bench.

Are the Reading stewards going to try to make us sit down?
