Palace v Reading

[Gazwag]

Just had a quick look and see Reading are playing in their home kit, but we were not allowed to play in ours, surely Reading kit is much closer to Palaces than ours is


0-0 btw if any ones interested

 

[Bob!]

stripes, hoops, similar?

nah!

 

[Gazwag]

Its only hoops and stripes on the front though, our colours are nothing like Palaces compared to Readings

A cynic might say that it was a convenient ploy by the Albion to sell a load of one-off replica shirts

Did I say I was one of those cynics Yorkie?

I totally agree that all fundraising opportunities should be harvested in our position

[hans kraay fan club]

Crystal Palace 1-1 Reading

Reading's James Harper equalised soon after Palace struck
James Harper's blistering drive helped Reading increase their unbeaten league run to 29 games as the Championship leaders drew with Crystal Palace.
Andy Johnson's penalty 11 minutes from time briefly looked like inflicting a rare defeat on the runaway leaders.

But the home side led for less than two minutes as Harper fired home after Leroy Lita's delicate touch.

Reading keeper Marcus Hahnemann then saved brilliantly from Johnson and Tom Soares as Palace looked for a winner.
