I don't really care that much tbqh, Reading were a lower league non-entity until Madejski ploughed millions in. I'm not sure Wycombe owe them anything do they?

After the astonishing arrogance their fans showed here just a season ago, they need taking down a few pegs for a while.

Pretty treacherous from Wycombe in my opinion

Considering how much they didn't like London Wasps when they played at Adams Park this is very similar behaviour

Reading’s owner clearly not happy with whatever offers have been made so he’s selling everything off before disappearing. Least that’s how it looks

Must say I don’t remember anything about this, but even if they were total arseholes I wouldn’t wish this situation on any club, especially knowing everything we went through. There by the grace of Godden etc.

It's what football is.... You gloat when you're doing well/on the up and whinge about other teams gloating when everythings falling apart. Having been at almost all ends of the scale over the last 25 years we know that better than most.

It is if you're an idiot.

Someone posted something the other day with a list of teams we played in league one a few years ago. They are now all in non-league, and it was more than a handful.

We should possibly remember where we've been next time we're crying about getting Wolves away in the Fa Cup quarter final.

On a separate note, as we've probably required a training ground update for a while (although I know money has been spent recently), wasn't there an opportunity to purchase the Elite Performance & Innovation Centre? I really feel like that would have been a wonderful, final, fuck you to Wasps.

I will guess it took us to 7th place late in the season.
For perspective, that season 's League One included Southend, Rochdale, Scunthorpe, Bury, Chesterfield, and Oldham.
Only one of those likely to rejoin the Football League next season, so by comparison we've done OK since that day.

You know what - I’d be game for that. Send the youth team there?

on Reading it appears the deal is on hold. The licence granted by the council is exclusive to Reading and not Wycombe
