Away Day Tales: Episode 10 - Ashton Gate (30th Mar 2002)

We recently had a good club Dnipro. It played well in the Europa League, brought Ukraine points. But it belonged to a very cynical oligarch. At one point, he hung a bunch of debts on the club, declared it bankrupt. Immediately after that he founded a new club Dnipro-1 (even the name is cynical and without imagination), but in the lower division.

Android on my phone now thinks I'm a fan of Reading (probably after I became interested in the club while reading your articles). So, apart from Ukrainian clubs, yesterday it showed me the result of Reading's match :) Unfortunately, Reading lost by missing one goal.

Once an owner declares a club bankrupt as a result of their business dealings, they shouldn't be allowed to own a club again.

Welcome to our Fan Club. I'm hearing rumours that our 9 point deduction will be announced soon which will drop us into the relegation zone ☹️ The good news, is that if we get relegated, I'll have plenty of new grounds to visit 🥳

A good idea.

You can find a positive in everything :)

Ha ha. I've thought this for a while - ever since we missed out on European football by 1 point. Those 2 seasons (2005/06 & 2006/07) were the best football I will ever see Reading play. So I feel that I've seen it all - unless we get into Europe, or drop down the leagues.

I wish you to see something new, ie Reading in the Champions League :)

Ha ha. I hope so too 😆 I've already seen us get relegated and playing in (what's now known as) League 1 so we'd have to get relegated twice for something new in the direction!

By the way, congratulations on the strong-willed victory of Reading.

🥳 It means that once we get our 9 point deduction, we won't be in the relegation zone 🥳

Yes, but there is still a long way to go.

I hope you're not suggesting we'll get relegated 😆 You new fans - so pessimistic.

You better know. The main thing is that the team does not fall apart morally.
