Bob da Canary 0 Posted October 17, 2004 I live in berkshire near reading and i have two friends who are both reading fans. One of my friends enjoys winding me up about Norwich farmers, spades and tractors and norwich not winning in the premiership and being near the bottom. He enjoys this becoz i took great pleasure in Norwich beating Reading last season and that sticks in their memorys so thats why they persist to tease me.They r loving life at the mo as Reading r top of the league in the championship, Theyre really starting to annoy me and im running out of insults, can anyone help me?!Thanks....

Canaries for Ever 0 Posted October 17, 2004 I spent my Uni life supporting the Canaries from Reading and my daughter is now following in my footsteps. We visited her today & took her shopping at the Oracle centre. It was extremely busy but pulled into an available parking space in the Riverside carpark right next to a Clio bedecked with Canary colours and stickers. Well, we felt right at home and it made our day. Although she can''t make all the matches, she supports NCFC from the Sky TV room in her Hall, with scarf proudly worn.

a1canary 0 Posted October 18, 2004 Try having a look at thier attendences. They''re top of the league and yet at their last two home games in the league they pulled in 11000 against Preston and 15000 against Sunderland. Their last home game was in the fizzy cup - 8,000 odd for that game. All rattling around in their 25,000 seater morgue that John built. John "my ego''s so big i had to name the stadium after me" Madejski. Bloody stupid name anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pieman01 0 Posted October 18, 2004 I live near Reading too - in Goring actually.We spend a few Sundays watching London Irish at the Madjeski which is good for a few swift pints. My inlaws also live next to Brian McDermott, the Reading assistant manager - which is handy for passes and stuff... He wasn''t too chuffed with the result last season, it has to be said...Personally I hope they do pretty well - especially if that means keeping Ipswich out of the playoffs...

GenerationA47 747 Posted October 18, 2004 I hate to be so predictable, but it''d be rude not to, so here goes:Since there are apparently even more Berks than I was aware of, why not come along to watch the game on the telly in the Three Guineas, next to Reading station, this Saturday around 12.45. I am hoping there will be a good showing of a yellow hue for the Everton match! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pieman01 0 Posted October 19, 2004 Oh now that''s a good idea! Where is the 3 Guineas? Gives my missus the chance to do a bit of shopping while I sneak in a couple of beers...I''m up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So tailor-made for us. Bring lots of pies.Just so you''ll definitely recognise me, this is me (thumb in air, head obscured) at the Hawthorns last Saturday, as seen from my mate''s seat.See you there.

Web Team - Vince 0 Posted October 19, 2004 That doesn''t work either - either I need an account or you need to set some viewing permissions by the looks of things.You could upload the picture as your personal photo (http://new.pinkun.com/forums/photo.aspx) which is different from your avatar image and can be viewed in your profile page. Or email to vince.yallop@archant.co.uk and I''ll put in on the Pinkun server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I still don''t know how it got in there or why it starting trumpeting out of its butt every time the referee opened his mouth.)Vince, on your advice I''ve given up and uploaded the damn thing as my personal photo.
