As a fan of Reading this situation we are in is seriously scary. Up The Ding 🔵⚪️
The situation has been caused by the fans 😢
Could you have not done this for a closer club, get what you did but it’s frustrating a 4hour round trip for nothing
Good Luck, hope you lot get sorted. Well done on the protest 💪💪
@@MJPercyhow mate
@@MJPercymate do your research before you say things like this
Still remember Reading being in the Premier League. They always seemed a well run, efficient and highly stable club.
So sad to see them in such a horrible mess these days. Hopefully they get it sorted out soon.
Irish lads like Doyle and Hunt would bang in the goals 17 years ago. Le Fondre was their best player 11 years ago. Almost getting close to coming back in the Prem almost 7. Majeski sells the club to this whole Chinese running clown show. Hopes things get better for the Royals soon 👑
@@hashybrown07 The former owner even has the stadium named after him

Always Asian owners ruining clubs
Well done Reading fans. This happened at my club (Leyton Orient) 7 years ago. Direct action is the only way. C'mon the Royals
we have done everything else but the EFL keep doing nothing letting him get away with tax avoidance ,paying salaries ,and its not the fans fault ,they should make him sell the club or do it for him ,this protest tell you that not just us but other clubs could get like this by owners who dont care about the fans we never hear or see him at the club
Efl has told him to pay or sell
Despite a few morons chanting "we'll dance when Derby die" when Reading visited Derby when Mel Morris was in charge at Derby, i really do hope they pull through as a fan you feel so helpless!!
Thank you and I can assure you that most Reading fans were disgusted by that chant.
another ram here, and I completely agree with what you said. the fact that this is happening to so many clubs is worrying. hopefully they get out of this mess soon but something has to be done to stop this happening, which was supposedly promised after we almost went under.
Brilliant job Ben. Great representation. URZ
Good luck Reading, didn’t see this kind of coverage when Southend, Scunthorpe to name a couple were and still are having the same problems
still remember them singing about Derby County dying no sympathy for them
I remember reading 106 points had some good players sad to see this
Live hard, Dai Yongge
Solidarity with the Reading fans from a Birmingham City fan
✊✊KRO✊✊
The owner's name is die young. that sums it up!
"When Derby County die... When Derby county die..."
A little part of me was hoping the Oxford-Reading game in December wouldn't have been played due to Reading going bust.
Would have added a nice touch of irony to the 'We'll never play you again' chants from Reading 20 years ago.
Why should this club expect guarantees? Plenty have closed over the decades, there's nothing new here.
Good luck with everything.
This problem cannot continue to linger in the English game
Footballs a business mate, it’s sad but it’s true and how will it change when there is so much money in it?
Why not?
@@henben9215It has nothing to do with profiting and money its about protecting the assets (The club) from being run poorly with owners taking money out and not putting any in, it's such a bigger subject then "businesses making money" A man should not be able to buy a club that's been around for 100 years and run it into the ground and leave when it suits him. Most clubs foundations were built by the locals.
@@user-zm9xf7mo4p do you realise we live in a country where you can own businesses? Are you from the uk? Do you know anything about how businesses work in the uk? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?
@@user-zm9xf7mo4p so what you’re saying is the owner of Starbucks shouldnt sell up to another company next year without all of there customers and employees all agreeing as they built it?
Considering they were rejected as taking over hull, i just hope you get better owners than these owners, we thought at hull Allams were bad, this is worse
Been through it as a bolton supporter.
Protesting on the pitch, giving your team point deductions won't help the situation, your going to end up in league 2 at this rate.
Yes something needs to be done, but do it smartly, don't push the club down more, the owner clearly doesnt care as long as it keeps existing he cleans a bit off the top for profit.
As a Bolton fan what we did, didn't work either, we just got lucky with the club being sold. There needs to be major reform and protest can do that. Keep in mind the governing body is made up of mind bogglingly st upid human beings. We are talking people so brainless that when a Club is in finanical problems they deduct points and make it worse, genuinely I would love to talk to the person who came up with that rule were they dropped on the head as a kid, or was it a lobotomy. It would be like cutting a finger off the goal keeper everytime the other team score. It's like something Kafka would come up.
@Alex-cw3rz 1000%. It needs regulating properly and not just being allowed because they have the money at the time. Football can be a horrible thing if its controlled wrong.
Speaking of asset-stripping, the owner sold their captain behind the manager and the fans back.
and also how is this a protest with tenis balls involved you do not throw any tenis balls at owner
As a portsmouth fan, i completely sympathise. Any discussions of a fan lead takeover?
Under stand fans frustrated but have they got someone lined who wants to buy the club
Absolute support of this from a Saints fan. 💪
People saying our protest made the situation worse. The situation is already bad enough and I think the protest has done very well it has made people talk about our situation more than ever. The guy in this interview spoke really well but he only mentioned a couple of our troubles. There's a mountain of them. Our owner used to own two other clubs and took them both out of existence.
Never understood the club leaving Elm Park, a proper football ground. Madjeski Stadium never been sold out, only in Prem when tourists and day trippers come out of the woodwork
UTFD
Can you blame them? These fkin businessmen are ruining the game.
this was in the middle of a game to protest against against a owner you wait until the FT whistle you do not pitch invade and that is why the game got abandoned if any Reading wants to protest then do it before or after the game this it's not planning ahead
Hope United fans r watching
If only the Man U fans had this type of backbone towards the glazers
It’s what United need to do lol
That will never happen they did it and failed
Don't ever compare the two clubs....🤦♂️
Chirst it’s embarrassing you think that they’re even comparable
Completely irrelevant reading could go out of business. United just don't have as much money for their plastic fans perspective isn't a thing glory hunting United fans and all there plastics will never understand.
@@vinylsx92 nah ur all 100% right united are just completely in the mud lol I guess they are very incomparable
If only Chelsea fans had the balls to do this
Yeah but Chelsea's form is incredible they have won 4 of the last 5 games in all competitions and 4 of their last 5 in the Premier League, so they Chelsea fans won't even do a protest
We'll only do that if it goes properly south.
That doesn't even match to this
Next its United fans.🤪
We have Sir Jim Ratcliffe so it won't happen
Unfortunately that's life 😅
This will be chelsea soon
Urz
If you don't know. It don't matter.
as a cheltenham town supporter hop you get a points deduction would help us
You're gonna need it mate cos u ain't staying up without it
@@adam0528 at least we never had paul ince as our manger if we drop into league 2 no big deal at least our game was called of because a bolton supporter was taken ill and needed medical help .
@@adam0528 salty reading fan? Look forward to league 2 mate
CMON TOWN
@@TozersTowel glad elliot went much better under darrell clarke come on you robbins
Isn't it dangerous for the club for fans to protest during a game and have points deducted rather than protest after the game?
Blackpool fans and Leyton Orient fans did the same things and both matches got abandoned.
Yeah but gets more eyes I think reading fans are willing to risk real punishments for the chance the fa come in and punish poor ownership and to be honest if they receive punishment it won’t be popular with any football fans
Pitch invasions (whatever is going on at a club) must not be allowed and the EFL must set a deterent for this type of protest, otherwise this is going to happen again and again - Port Vale fans must be reimbursed and given the 3 points, Reading should have a further points deduction and then hopefully their sh*te owner will finally let them rebuild for the future
what about the port vale fans who wasted their time and money travelling to the game you didnot care about them and they will have to travel down again i doubt if your owner was even bothered selfish reading fans
Womp womp
Majority of the Port Vale fans knew it was happening before they were coming down, they joined in themselves and were nothing but supportive actually mate.
@@dmst13 Remember what Leyon Orient fans did in 2017
They were reimbursed. Also, the Port Vale fans knew this protest was happening well in advance and clapped for the Reading supporters. The Reading fans also paid it back by giving generous donations to the fundraiser Port Vale have going
