High Noon+30 tomorrow we play our last league game against the Royals. If more games come that will take the Biscuit.
Seriously it's been a fantastic season our best for many years so win, lose or draw thank you the players, 2020 and all the staff at Kenilworth Road. COYH!!

Here here!
There’s a great model of and lots of info about the Huntley and Palmers factory in Reading Museum ( bizarrely, there’s also a replica of the Bayeux Tapestry there too)
Let’s hope the Royals arrive half baked and that we’re the Jammie Dodgers.
Thanks too for your ‘Freds’ Shatter
COYH!!!!!

High Noon you say Steve, well here's a blast from the past: There is a local connection Gary Coopers father was from Houghton Regis and Gary attended Dunstable Grammar School. Thanks for the clip Liz. |

There is a Wetherspoons called the Gary Cooper in Dunstable. They don't sell Huntley and Palmers though...

Question: Was the stuffed brown envelope given to Reading's goalkeeper before the game or on completion? And looking at the runes: Another Wembley final against Forest coming up shortly.
For the first 45 minutes plus the goalkeeper never(?) dropped the ball to kick it, then did without checking for the obvious, strange and as for Forest, it's written in the stars, third time lucky.
The game, lots of huff and puff with next to no effect. Not really surprising when we had no forwards on the pitch. How did Jerome not score in the first minute or so, bet Danny Boy would have that away 9 times out of 10. And Harry, back to his Bambi on ice impersonation.
Nice surprise to see Bree and Campbell back and fingers crossed for more available versus Huddersfield. It's a struggle, Wembley here we come.

Great to see Bree and Clark back, and Campbell deserved his MOM, as well as his player of the season award.
I fear we will struggle against Huddersfield unless we can get Elijah fit in time.

Shout from me for Matt Ingram. Two good close range blocking saves, it’s too easy to go to ground in those situations but he stayed big and hard to beat, good goalkeeping. Also assured handling, especially that sort of waist high fizzing cross in the first half, eye in the ball and never blinked. Good talking throughout too, which I can’t normally hear from The Kenny stand. Well done Matt I say.

Agreed. Seemed calm and steady throughout, I wondered if he'd be a bit nervy after Monday, but no.

Terrific season and it’s still not quite over
Team did the business yesterday, unlike our (much wealthier) competitors
Great to see Bree and Campbell back as well as Clark
As Greeno said, solid performance from Ingram, will give both him and the team a bit more confidence for the next two, and hopefully three, games
Very well done Nathan, Mick, the whole staff team and every single player.
We’re rank outsiders to win POs so absolutely nothing to lose but potentially so much to gain
COYH!!

There's mention above of Hylton converting the Jerome's squandered first minute chance.
Never mind that chance, if Danny had been on the pitch, can you imagine what he would have done to the Reading keeper after his mistake? Bearing in mind that Hylton did a mega knee slide just to take the p155 out of the Cambridge keeper after Olly Lee's goal from St Albans. All in all, I reckon the Reading GK got off lightly ... unless Danny was able to remind him of it in the tunnel at HT, of course.

The stadium is built on the site of a former household waste dump and is surrounded by methane vents.
It was opened on 22 August 1998 when Luton Town, which was my eldest son’s first away game at age 3 years 24 days. Youngest son was 7 week old, not sure how I wangled that trip.
