Racist Chanting at Reading

Thu Aug 08, 2024 10:47 am

I was just reading the long thread on this from a few years back.

Am I right in thinking that Reading as a club issues some form of apology in the end? I know they changed their statement from 'Racist' to 'Discriminatory', but I seemed to recall they backtracked further?

This all died down very quickly and didn't show Reading in a good light, but it certainly damaged our immediate reputation. Apart from a similar situation Reading had with Millwall, I'm not sure any other club went down the route of enforcing the rules that were brought into force at that time, although I'm happy to stand corrected.

Different subject, possibly similar theme .

Remember, of all people , a female activist was allegedly sexually assaulted in the stands of the CCS last year in the match vs the Jacks . Did the perpetrator get done ? Surely must have with lots of witnesses and extensive CCTV.

I was at that game and was right pissed off that we had been accused of racist chanting, it was a load of rubbish.
But of course Wales on Sunday had it as their headline, absolutely disgusting from the national paper of Wales, I haven't bought one since and I hope they go bust. :bluescarf:
