I hope we don’t live to regret some of these departures. After such a good season for them very surprising and surprising the likes of Pedder are released. I suppose most are 21/22 age group so making way for U18’s and trialists. Fortunately we didn’t do the same in the mid sixties as they formed th...

De javu strikes again or is it Groundhog Day! Or is it Groundhog day!
All in all that did not go to plan!

Important game for us today in Blackburn. I hope the up rather than down Blackburn turn up in their very mixed season. It brings back memories of the Brentford game in the sixties where we needed them to beat their opposition for us to get promotion. Despite a fair percentage of us Rs supporters bei...

So which Rs team will continue for the rest of the season? The one which has failed to produce consistent results under the last umpteen managers or one that will now knuckle down and get us out of the mess they have got us in. Unfortunately they now know their individual positions are secure with n...

I was probably at the match with my Dad. Great days!

This apparent disconnect between the club and the Board not helped by the deafening silence recently is breeding all sorts of internet rumours concerning our financial situation. Also not helped by no new DOF appointment and the sudden departure of Ramsey. Such cost saving measures only breeds such ...
