Reading United

Dismayed at the negative attention Reading has acquired lately, the Reading Chronicle is calling on readers this week to unite behind the town.

Of course, Reading Roars! has been doing this for some time (since 2005), believing that Reading is actually a very good town for a number of reasons. It’s an ambitious town (Reading FC epitomises this spirit) and dynamic, changing all the time. We do have some major issues to correct, such as transport and traffic, but we recognise these faults and are attempting to address them.

So screw the surveys. Reading rules.

    OI what’s all this nonsense about Reading FC do your readers know you’re a BARCELONA supporter heh heh?

    I think so, as I mentioned it on the “About me” page ;) I want both teams to do well. I was born in Reading, so Reading is my team, right? That said, Barcelona is my favourite team (i.e. the one I care most about). I wasn’t too happy when they were eliminated by Liverpool in the CL, for example…

    Champions League.

    what’s that then?

    shouldn’t it have an apostrophe?

    Probably. And it shouldn’t be called “Champions”, either, as a club doesn’t need to win its domestic league to take part. Remember the European Cup Winner’s Cup? That was even more bizarrely named.
