Surprised to see so much nonsense being written about "tinpot" Reading - what's that supposed to mean anyway? The Wigan of the south! Laughable. As a Reading fan since the early eighties I don't know any fans who have any problem with Brighton at all. In fact a couple of us visited to offer support during your stadium difficulties. That all appears to be in the past now. Incidentally, I don't recall any occasion where Reading fans were outnumbered at Elm Park. Still, if bleating out such rubbish makes some happy on here, so be it. Anyway, congratulations on the play off spot. Over the season we've flattered to deceive, far too inconsistent at home. You finish where you deserve to be. Good luck in the play offs.

What it means is thousands of your fans ****ed up and made your club look stupid. This isn't the action of one man taking a dump in the wrong place, it's the sort of mass stupidity the like of which even Palace aren't capable of. And they like to burn their own town for a laugh.

'Working Class Pride' remembers it, no one else does. I doubt you were ever outnumbered.

Very few Albion fans have a problem with Reading. I've always hoped that they'd do well, especially in the Premier League, I love an underdog. It's Adkins that we can't stand.

I thought the 'Lowly Brighton score up at Forrest' comment from Adkins was twattish.

U sure it wasn't the 'low and behold Brighton score' comment? If it's the FLS interview then I think you've misheard...

C*ocks painted by children draped over a stand, goal music and goal scorer call and return along with 10k fans only there to see the opposition/only turn up in the top flight - now that's stupid and consistently stupid!
