Wycombe are the football vultures circling above Reading at the moment, they appear to have purchased their training ground for what is likely very much below market value. Reading fans, unsurprisingly, are a little bit bent out of shape about this news. It's £50m worth of training ground. One of t...

Positive news, the shop and the online version definitely need freshening up a bit. I popped in to buy a new mug before the Port Vale game (broke my "Champions" one - bad omen?) and it looked like the same old stuff that they've had in there for years.. sure you weren't looking in the boa...

I feel we are almost non-league in what we offer within this space and whilst I do not know this provider it sounds like it's much needed and overdue to get us to where we need to be. believe me we are light years behind non league in terms of commercial products. light years. I've no idea if you'r...

i'd take their defensive frailties over our own defensive issues, lack of goals and failure to see games out.

Other teams are doing their bit to keep CTFC in L1. Honestly could not have hoped for a better set of results tonight. Sounds like Charles Breakspear dropped two huge clangers (a red card and a penalty) at Pride Park to give Derby the win over Reading. Seen the highlights - those decisions were ind...

bit ironic coming from the man that nearly ended Leeds, yes the 20 in the prem are hording the wealth but there needs to be responsibility and sustainability coming from those clubs outside of the prem, this isn't all the premier leagues fault.

Yep in Manchester and London prem games I reckon half the stadium is full of tourists just having a day out. They're the only ones prepared to shell out the obscene ticket prices! I went to Anffield a few years ago and it was exactly the same thousands of tourists taking photos with big selfie stic...

chanting that has no relevance to what's going on on the pitch What, like anti-FGR songs when we're drawing 1-1 at home with Charlton in the league above them? :lol: I know you're jesting. But, by way of example, the ultras are often led in choreographed songs and displays that just carry on uninte...

the prem and all its ilk are soo far removed from anything outside of its bubble its just unhinged, one thing I have noticed is prem managers (consistently) having to ask the crowd of said team to play their part, can you imagine Wenger having to make that comment to arsenal fans 20 years ago? The p...

Not sure if promotion or goals scored were part of that though.

£300k (just) for a striker that's scored 20+ (league) goals in the last three seasons.

Please tell me we had some kind of clause at 20 league goals, most likely not

yeah we get a signed shirt sent to us in the post.

I've done a quick search and found Gary Madine (who last played a year ago today) and Kieron Agard (released by Doncaster last May having scored 3 goals in League 2 - his last in October 2022).

Joe Nuttall is at CTFC.

longmover

Can we send Nuttall back if we get a free agent in?

Indeed - there seems to be a wish to paint DC as a martyr and the Board as trying to trip him up left, right and centre. In our interview with him he made it clear that Will Goodwin told him he wanted to go when Oxford came knocking so he was involved in the negotiations that got us £400k. He also ...

Given he has barely picked him until there was no other option, I suggest not a lot.

why’s he at the club then?

what does Clarke see in Nuttall?

this is good so far, Keena looks lively.

What is the latest with Cakebridge place? Ask your councillor when they come knocking next month. At least one councillor is a regular in the PRE. And, of course, another is a former chairman and still on the Board. It's not like we don't have the contacts. We've also got a major shareholder worth ...

I found it quite funny when Clive said the main stand project was long term and Pete Matthews said it’s been long term for a long term! For me the most frustrating thing in the whole main stand redevelopment saga is, if we can’t afford a new main (which I completely get) then what are we going to d...

How will it "make money "? Non matchday facilities like lots of other clubs do, if that's not going to (as you have implied) then we may as well give the lease back the council and they can build on it as CTFC are just going to be priced out of playing full time league football by the sou...

Come on people (modern) professional players do not give a 5hit about any of the clubs they have/currently/will play for, lets not be naive now.

mentality is the key, it's alright wining three on the bounce its how the team deals with the first defeat after those wins and it looks as though we've not got the attitude to haul our self's back to that winning mindset. Where's that team that took Blackpool apart? That scored three against Vale? ...

thing is charlton looked so brittle at the back and just needed steady pressure and goals would come but we just looked completely without idea (for the majority of the game)

just got around listening to see, two things struck me: 1. The deep fear Clive had in his voice when he said the loses weren't sustainable 2.

The Reading fans group met with the EFL last week. One interesting snippet to come out is that January transfer sales are currently funding the club through February but are expected to run out in March. Unless the owner puts more money in an assigned deposit account (which he's failed to do so far...

I've never thought of charlton as a big club.

So the Goodwin sale will mitigate some of that loss then?

The other side of the good recent form is that teams that were underestimating us are now more likely to… estimate us. I’m sure some of the teams we’ve outfought recently thought they were rolling up to face the 1-goal-and-1-point-in-11-misfits of October, whereas from here on in we’re going to get...

Evidently there was a scout from Liverpool at the game last night.
