You missed the point, not surprising since your supporters don't seem to be getting any of 'the points' and once again - a reading fan comes out with another not-getting-the-point-in-the-slightest, glib comment.
To TRY to explain to you RA, it's not about the numbers you get against Milton Keynes's numbers, and it's not about the number of miles the club moved, and it isn't about being forced to sell. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STATS !
Are you really that thick or are you just a good actor ?

No. Its about franchising, which is the lease of an asset, in this scenario, the football team itself. It pays no regard to the fans of the club, and therefore everyone at Reading FC is dead against the principles of the MK club.
Therefore, to put Reading FC in the same bracket as MKFC is highly offensive and I expect a full apology and withdrawal of comment immediately. Your "opinion" isn't even an opinion, it is purely based on facts that are not facts at all.
However, with a full apology you will be forgiven for your outburst.

Ok Wilts, now you are obviously out to make me laugh. Thanks for that .
I dont have anything against Reading, but for some reason, I seem to be developing an annoyance for other clubs fans posting on Brightons messageboard, dont know why?

I have to say, the only problems I have with Reading are:
1. The poxy one way system.
2. The percentage of ginger people in the town (way too high)
3. Shit service and shit food in every single place I've eaten.

Reading? Couldn't care less about them as a club. I don't even care that much about how much success Coppell has there, as long as you don't get promoted - a chance to repeat last season's win at the MadStad would be thoroughly enjoyed.
Palace are the scum. Cardiff come second for me, far far ahead of Reading, but still nowhere near Palace.

I'd agree with most of that-except Coppout's success simply because he dropped us in the shit and has disrupted our season therefore I can only wish him to fail. Other than for that reason-Reading's fortunes interest me not. Reading's fans interest me not either.

For a team that supposedly doesn't give a damn about Brighton, you sure have got a lot of fans registered on this site!
On to the 'who do you hate most' question.
Palarse are our arch rivals, Reading aren't. Most people hate Palarse more than Reading, which is understandable. But Reading have done much more harm to us than Palarse have. When they did hurt us last year it was purely on the football pitch. Our rivalry with Palarse is good for both clubs as it generates public interest, competiveness and gives the fans something to look forward to. Reading, on the other hand, poach our manager, players, and will always hamper any chance of future success until we get Falmer.
Reading are bad for our club. Palarse may be the enemy, but they are good for BHAFC. Reading are a danger whose existence will always threaten our success. So if I had to pick a team to fade away into obscurity, it would be Reading, not Palarse.

The main point that smears reading is that the club has been cherry-picking from Brighton. Knowing that we aren't able to afford to offer high wages to managers, the ONLY WAY reading could succeed over us in football was by talking away decent loaners we had as prospective Albion players, trying to tempt away our top players or at least distract them with rumoured interest like they did with Cullip, and finally buying away our manager.
Have reading been any different to any other club buying players and getting successful managers (?) I hear these reading fans ask (because they are obviously too dense to figure it out), YES, because after being humiliated on the pitch and dominated in the league when we were deserved CHAMPIONS (which, at the time, was practically denied by reading - they couldn't admit to being spanked, just like chesterfield the season before), reading basically focussed way too much on our financial weaknesses and gave way too much attention to our assets . Chelski cherry-pick their players from all over the Premier Division, reading focussed on Brighton (just like their supporters still are)
Ok, so now reading have succeeded in buying our mantle, history will not show their name on the Championship, but they no longer care because they are trying for the Prem and we are struggling to get back to the 1st Division - which looks unlikely now because Copout was the best chance we had. We fought to keep Brighton in the league, we did incredibly well to stay alive and afloat, we did unbelievably well to win TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS on the trot, and eventually reading come along and say "they are doing great, because of their modest status we can probably outbid them for their best footballing assets and get the sort of unlikely success they have had by doing it"
I compared reading with milton keynes because of the fervent support that can be expected from such historic stanchions of English Football, and because MK didn't build a football team of their own either. reading have had way too much to do with Brighton, and it's obvious how they have managed to pry people away from us in particular.
I hope reading fail, and I really do hope that even cr#*&tal p@*lace and cardiff city beat the crud out of reading when they play.
In other words, since these reading dimmos need it spelled out; the above means I hope EVERY team beat reading, and that they fail to make the playoffs, and they sink in the league .
Got it now ?

Excuse me while I rip your argument to pieces, Hitler boy.
See previous post. Its Pardew, not Reading. When have I ever done it? When has Madejski ever done it, to be fair? The man knows nothing about football and simply delegates financial power to others, including a certain A. Pardew.
Our wage bill is 5th lowest in Division One. You're telling me that Division One teams never take away players and managers from lower divisions?
Am I also imagining things by thinking that Zamora and Brooker have also moved to other clubs in higher divisions?
Who distracted who? It was a rumour made up on the Internet by some kid who pretended to know DC. There was never an approach from our club, and there probably never will be.
That is a laughable claim. We've bought 8 players in the last few years from Charlton, so are we trying to cherry pick their assets too? Or Bristol City. Or Plymouth (3 players).
The only person that claimed that Reading deserved to win Division Two is Alan Pardew. You didn't hear any of us lot complaining. Any team that draws 9 of its last 10 games deserves to be punished.
And our fans are focused on Brighton? Pleeeeeeeease. I've been on here since about 2001, and there's never any topics about Brighton on HNA as nobody gives a monkeys.
Don't you think that we've fought to keep our team in the league too? Don't you think we've been within minutes of bankruptcy? Just because it was 20 years ago this year doesn't mean it gives you any more right to feel more sorry for yourself than for us. At the time of Reading taking Coppell, there was a discussion on our board about how many of us had travelled up to your game to protest about the actions of Archer and Bellotti, and how supporter power is key.
Don't you think that we've used supporter power before? Demonstrations at football matches and the like...
Ah, but that's just it. The one thing that Franchise FC have is the original players from the original club. They are not cherry-picking players, they are taking a whole team in its current form. Hence why it is more like the lease of an entire asset rather than the picking of quality lower-division players.
Oh, and don't forget the youth academy. When you have 21 internationals at your club at once please be sure to tell me. And when you are top of the U-19 league ahead of Arsenal, Tottenham, and West Ham.
I've got your opinion, but the only grounding is that you are upset that Coppell has left, and are trying to make your view sound different to others by trying to think of us as "asset-strippers" like Chelsea. Well I'm sorry but that doesn't hold. Out of our team we have the following analysis: (Players cherry-picked in bold)
Hahnemann - Premiership cast off from Fulham
Murty - bought from York City
Shorey - in Leyton Orient reserves and only 16 and brought into the RFC Youth Academy
Watson - not wanted at Rotherham
Mackie - playing in Non-League for Sutton United until age 24
Murray - bought from Bristol City
Williams - Local boy in Reading Youth Academy from way back
Goater - Premiership cast off from Man City
Forster - Division One cast off (when we were Div 2) from Birmingham City
Hughes - Released on a free by Notts County
Sidwell - bought from Arsenal while on loan to Brighton - arguably cherry-picking but I would be pissed off if it happened to us
Harper - Cast off from Arsenal Youth System and put into the RFC Youth Academy to develop
Ingimarsson - Cast off from Wolves
Salako - Cast off from Charlton
Boucaud - RFC youth academy player brought through
Savage - bought from non-league and put into the Academy
Ashdown - local boy in the RFC Youth Academy
Tyson - local boy in the RFC Youth Academy
Newman - Cast off from Millwall
Young - England U-18 keeper, RFC Youth Academy
Campbell - Scotland U-18 winger, RFC Youth Academy
Daley - On loan from Jamaica
Castle - RFC Youth Academy player and youngest ever to appear for RFC at 16 yrs and about 10 days old.
So there you go. What a complete load of arse your argument was.
I refer you to my signature for confirmation that the predictability of stupidity should never cease to surprise.

The reason that Palarse are perceived as "not having done us any harm" is that most Albion supporters' direct experience of a game against the Palarse is a home league game.perth seagull said:

Over 40 years ago, that's when!
