Reading Roars!

Mentions of Reading FC have soared recently in national newspapers, thanks to the club’s ascendancy to domestic football’s top flight.

In Friday’s edition of The Guardian, an interview with Reading keeper Marcus Hahnemann was published in which he “declares his love for motorbikes, hamburgers and heavy metal”. Read what the Premiership star had to say here.

Reading Roars! has had its first birthday.  So what lies ahead?

Expect to see more whitterings about Reading FC and their bid for Premiership glory.  Expect to see a podcast in the near future.  And a guest writer.  I’m sure you will want to see  more pics, so I will provide them too.  That’s enough promises for now.

No, I don’t understand it either. Reading Roars! is back. And it’s roaring louder than ever before. Ahem. A full explanation will be provided later.

For now, did you know that Reading Roars! is now a year (and a month) old?
