Inside the food doesn't rate well but the tea was real PG Tips. A cold winter's bank holiday and good opposition should have meant a good crowd but Burnley only brought 1,000 fans (was that Reading restricting the number? - because they filled their area). Anyway there were some six thousand empty seats.
The home fans did muster a multi drum band. Also some vocal locals with incredulous bias. And the music build up to the team coming on was a some piece of work. I doubt the impact lasts and it certainly didn't work for Reading as they went behind, starting badly but I was impressed at the effort.
The Clarets played their part well and if Marney could have shot right he'd have wrapped up the result all by himself with three good chances. He took none of them, Shane Long however took his and Reading ran out eventual winners. I had to wait for about quarter of an hour for the return bus but still a good day's football. I'd be happy to go again.
