I hope they manage to get themselves up, hopefully with the title (though that is most certainly going to Berkshire). Nobody deserve it more than Reading and Southampton this season. They've both played excellent football, and I see no reason why they couldn't both be competitive in the big time next season. Two clubs being run properly off the pitch, who just happen to have a good product on the pitch.

Agreed, they deserve it over West Ham. Odd isn't it-you wouldn't particularly say that either were much bigger clubs than us-Reading are generally a L1 club in terms of tradition and support (anyone remember Elm Park? Biggest slope in the league at the time! ). Just shows what organisation and investment can do for you. Whereas we are the prime example of what not to do!
