Earlier talk on Linzie dawn mckenzie reminded me that she actually married Mark Williams didn’t she? Don’t know whether they are still in married bliss but he must of been mad to shack up with Holdsworths sloppy seconds

Bohemians Dublin v Sutton in the Irn Bru cup

But yes I keep looking at Reading and hoping they'll go down so I can go for a visit. Oddly I used to work part time in the music shop owned by the lovely bloke who opened the Purple Turtle in the early 90's.

Bloomin kids. I started at Reading Uni in '89 /feels old

Kyle... That's not where you are originally from though? I use to give the odd talk there years ago.

Purple Turtle is still going. One of the few places in Reading which is still around from the days I studied there (97-01)

yes

Chiggers..... Bolton forum the fans don't seem to be pointing the finger at him that's why it made me wonder.

Kyle... you didn't go to Uni in Reading did you?

Diddy, if you’re on twitter search priceoffootball @kieranmaguire. Has loads of information about it and the same name keeps popping up.

is the Purple Turtle still in Reading? Most of my old haunts are gone I think

Reading is no York, Exeter or Forest Green TBH...

There's a couple of pubs within brisk walking distance, in Swallowfield and the awful World Turned Upside Down on Basingstoke road, but mostly people drink in town and then get the buses to the ground.

Brinkmanship from Anderson is my guess. As a former football agent, he's probably a good negotiator. Having been banned from being a company director for 7 years, he's obviously a fit and proper person to own/run a football club

Also seems that's there's the obligatory 'murican TV sports billionaire hanging around as well though [Link]

RS - I have no reason to have a pre-game drink, but isn't the Madejski a bit of a pub-free zone?

Diddy, sky are saying notlob offered the 4 mill plus 'substantial interest' suggesting they did not offer the full amount outstanding.

I do not understand all this saga at Bolton so someone explain to me why Blu Marble are refusing to accept the 4 million they lent Bolton with interest on the top that the Chairman of Bolton is offering??? Surly the Football League can see they have offered to pay the debt back but still they will punish the club???

REPD, so can I and I am looking forward to the day when I can join some of you for a pre-match drink.

oi - lol

RS - I can imagine AFCW playing at the Madjeski...

Chiggers..... I understood it that Holdsworths intentions were to save the club and thought he had done so but things broke down between him and Anderson and he resigned and Anderson took over?????

Look on the bright side of Notlob. At least it will lift the piss poor Reading FC of the bottom of the table. For a game or two at least until RFC sink back to where they ultimately belong.

Good old Linsey!! Loved seeing her in Carshalton when I was young! :-) Fond memories!

Correct, Holdsworth is the cause of Bolton going in to admin
