The Tilehurst End blog argues the club are an “enabling development”
2 June ~ Brian McDermott’s sacking by Reading last week came as a surprise to some but the Tilehurst End blog argue that it is just the latest sign that the owners do not have a coherent strategy for the football club. Instead, the blog suggests that the consortium in charge of Reading are more interested in the Madjeski Stadium’s potential as an “enabling development” for the surrounding Royal Elm Park. “You can be sure that without the property development opportunities afforded to them the Thai owners – who have a background in property development – would not be interested in Reading FC,” the blog says.
We are pleased to announce the return of the annual WSC writers’ competition, in memory of contributor David Wangerin. Entrants are invited to submit an article of between 800 and 1,500 words about any aspect of football, not necessarily to do with the current season. The award was David’s idea and he requested that it should only be open to amateur writers, ie those who don’t make their living from writing. The closing date for submissions is 5pm on Monday, June 27, 2022.
