Good chance 5 of that squad won't be here next season... I know injuries have stacked up but seriously

@harry_chafer @Readingfanman @TheTilehurstEnd Elite members that attend majority of home games over several years will jump to front of queue for prime away games. But basically I agree with you. On principle I disagree with disparity on points accumulated but in practical terms I see elite appealing to very very few ppl.
English
@Readingfanman @JordanCottle @TheTilehurstEnd Couple reasons:
A) elite members still have to go to the games to amass the points that will make them eligible for priority
B) I dont see someone who never goes to away games and chooses to become elite/plus member suddenly deciding to want to go to away games?
English
On the loyalty points element, in principle it's unfair to have different amounts for each tier. Ideally it wouldn't have been in there.
In practice the difference in points between tiers isn't that big - it's not going to let people who rarely go to games suddenly jump to the front of the queue for the most popular away matches.
The Tilehurst End@TheTilehurstEnd
Understandable that any new initiative is met with cynicism/apathy after the season #ReadingFC have had, but the club have done well with this. Season ticket prices frozen, you can pay in 12 loads rather than one big outlay, or you can just get the traditional ST if you prefer.
English
@Readingfanman @TheTilehurstEnd even that feels a stretch, we get season ticket holders of what 6-8K something like that right?? Do you really think 1 in 15 ppl are gonna spend the guts of double a season ticket just to get first dibs on away tickets 2yrs out? Elite will appeal to a very small number of ppl imo
English
@JordanCottle @TheTilehurstEnd Even if we only sell 400-500, it puts you 400-500 people behind the curve when it comes to tickets which you otherwise wouldn’t have been. And that doesn’t account for anyone who buys whatever that middle package is where you get 20% more points than core.
English
@Readingfanman @TheTilehurstEnd Right, Core Vs Essential in your first message is where I was getting a little mixed. I get the sentiment but the last bit isn't really true right because it assumes we sell enough Elite to cover entire away attendance entitlements. Elite costs 80% more than a ST
English
@Readingfanman @TheTilehurstEnd I might be getting muddled with the tier terminology but in your scenario of an essential member missing out on the popular away game, how many home games is the essential member going to on top of their 70% of away games?
English
@TheTilehurstEnd Highly disagree if points are valid for 5 seasons. It’s 40% extra.
You can not go to a single away game as an elite subscriber, but get a popular away ticket ticket ahead of an essential member who goes to 70% if away games.

More of what reads to me as complete own goals from Richardson today. I can't really wrap my head around the thinking either. I can understand going all out to win this game. Even if I don't think scraping more wins is what LR needs, I get wanting to go into next yr off some wins

I don't really understand why LR is not being more 'selfish' with his decision last week and today. Had some pretty easy self preservation choices since Doncaster and isn't really doing any of them
English
it's funny the little things that can push you over the edge. The young subs getting so little game time in that non-event of a match has really wound me up
English
Such a shame we've had to watch so much of Nyambe's time here as a RWB. IMO clearly a solid, high performing RB but he's miles off being a functional RWB

This is rubbish. If it was rubbish with 3&4 youngsters involved I could write it off but rubbish with the strongest possible team we can muster is pretty grim.
English
@Readingfanman yeah probably but it's the usual suspects that don't know how to express themselves so lash out at everything. I get being sick to the back teeth of LR, but to call today must win is nonsensical when the result is one of least relevant aspects of today
English
Generally I thought we were fine today against a tough opponent. Tried to press high and some joy from it. I was worried about the 541 but in pressing high it did get an extra man forward than we have been doing. I do think the players looked up for it as well.
Jordan Cottle@JordanCottle
hard to say what would've felt acceptable out of a game like that. Beyond the results part of the season so the fact we didn't win doesn't matter so much is assessing it

I get the injuries and I also get that it's Cardiff and they are good and they are going to probably have 70% of the ball and I get the young players are untested and probably need to get out on loan first but... that XI is depressing. Kelvin in for a lonely game

I have penned some thoughts on what we might and might not see from Richardson and #Readingfc in the run-in. Excuse any typos 😅 currently horrendously jetlagged readingbtl.co.uk/2026/04/17/can…
English
@Readingfanman agree completely, these are uncomfortable and unpleasant questions to have to ask and answer as club media and manager. Answering doesn't suddenly make recent results any better but fair play for fronting up to them
English
Don't know how anyone can watch this &complain at the questions or answers. It's a pretty good interview from both sides
Richardson basically says we've seen flashes in maybe 60% of the games which I think is maybe fair. In small flashes in maybe half the games we're seeing bits
