Last updated : 15 March 2005 By Bigrich.....
Who are you; where are you from and how long have you supported your club?

David, Tadley, 21 years old supported since I was 7

What was your first game?
Cant remember exactly I know I didn’t see much from Elm Park!

Describe the most memorable and worst game you've seen and why?
Most memorable= Bolton playoff final I was still young, what a rollercoaster of emotions, we were so close. Worst game for me personally was losing to Walsall in the playoffs, my mates all rang me to take the mick and it was a long way home, plus Don Goodman scored who I hate

If Reading was a Celebrity, who would it be and why?
Jodie Marsh, flashy and on the edge but little substance

Who do you consider as your current local rivals, and why?
We don’t really have any, to be honest i could’nt care less what Swindon or Oxford do, probably QPR now I guess they did steal the blue and white hoops after all

Who are the best and worst players you have seen?
In my short time as a fan, worst player = Simon Shepard goal keeper truly shocking and capable of losing any match, best = probably Mathew Upson when he was on loan, as far as reading legends I was always a fan of Jimmy Quinn

Butler
Which current or former Rotherham player impressed you most?
Butlers the obvious choice, I also liked Kevin Watson when he came the other way. The year you went up automatically you had a great fighting spirit

How did you fare last season?
Finished outside the play-offs it was always going to be tough after Pardews exit

After such a bad run of form since Christmas, it must have been nice to put one over Pardew?
I think the Pardew thing has calmed down it was great to get a win over a big club like West ham they’re support was fantastic

Do yer reckon you can go up this season??
I think we will make the playoffs and then it’s a lottery, so yes

So what do you think of The Millers?
I guess its time for you guys to adjust and think about life in a lower league, I was a big fan of Ronnie Moore it’s a shame he had to leave, if I could choose a team to stay up it would be you but I think its too late

Whos out of contract this summer? Will Goater hang up his boots?
Goater should do although he might bag a few goals yet, a last season with you would be fitting, nicky forster is out of contract in the summer

Is your manager barking mad?
No pretty calm

Are you happy with your Chairman/Backroom staff?
Personally yes look at us today nice ground and on the edge of something great

Which team do you want to beat the most this season and why?
Millwall a few of my mates are fans and I went away to see us lose 1-0 would be nice to have something to gloat about

What sort of line-up can we expect from you?
I think we will stay the same from Saturday after our overdue win 442

Predicted score?
2-1 reading

Who's going up?
Wigan, Ipswich, Sunderland

Who's going down?
Rotheram (sorry) Forest, Crewe

Pie - What Flavour?
Balti
