BOWTUN BAKED Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 if im reet, that was their 11th game of the season and theyd won the lot, til then we didnt get many tickets can't see you on the picture, sonny I think you'll find, behind Meldrews head is a face you'll know, which means the little head to his right, obscured by Undies head, is a very young Bowtun Baked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpey Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 if im reet, that was their 11th game of the season and theyd won the lot, til then we didnt get many tickets can't see you on the picture, sonny This is the away end which was pay on the door. Away teams used to always get the whole end but can't remember if the RHS was cordoned off for more Reading lads as the queues were quite long.

Mounts Kipper Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) if im reet, that was their 11th game of the season and theyd won the lot, til then we didnt get many tickets can't see you on the picture, sonny Pretty sure majority on the photo would be travel club members it would be few years earlier I'd stopped travelling with the supporters club. I'd of been on the open terrace behind the net Casino and crew were posh boys back then often in the seats if memory serves me correct.

captainmed Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I see a very young CM on that pic. 3rd back, second one from left. At least I think it's me, but I can't see my old man. We were definitely in the seats that day though. Edited November 20, 2016 by captainmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Seats at Reading away in '85. Some familiar faces in there. Big lad in a Wanderers shirt near the front with the curly mop and clapping. That's SJ, worked at GEC. Remember him getting a job over in South Korea during the Rioch years. He missed all the fun.
