10 things.....

Reading
1 It's a corrodor town on the M4, somewhere between the M25 Heathrow junction and A34 Newbury intersection. Easy then to amble by, if not Reading a map.
2 They were at Elm Park for over 100 years and were known as Biscuitmen - was that merely by Royals appointment?
3 As a lower league club for many decades, Reading eventually got into debt. Big 'Businessman' Robert Maxwell wanted to merge with Oxford and become Thames Valley Royals - possibly considered criminal and even potential suicide!
4 Their modern ground, financed by megabucks Chairman John Madejski is popularly known as the mad stad. He's got a crazy free-wheeling deal out of it - auomatically a business trader.
5 Reading University was where their finance man studied statistics. Forty, twenty six, thirty seven was a benchmark in measuring off-campus social gradings.
6 Allegedly their gay physio was in Royal Berkshire Hospital. A homophobic nurse said it should have been prison, like Oscar Wilde - a previous problem inmate.
7 In 1995 Reading were second but had to enter play-offs for promotion to the Prem. They lost 4-3 aet in the final, which truly was a double whammy for runners-up.
8 Steve Coppell went there after BHA first came off the rails, then jumped the points. He certainly got RFC back on track following Pardew's branchline switch to West Ham. McGhee, a previous Royal's manager also came on board and completed a series of triple shunts in Southern locomotivation.
9 They had an old goalie named Death, who racked up 500 odd apps then promptly... buried his gloves.
10 In the dark ages the town was sacked. Historically, football managers still try to re-enact this deed when away there - often in an uncivilised manner.
