Martin Hicks proudly lifts the trophy on the cover of today's #readingfc v #salop, 3-1 win (Beavon, Bremner, Williams), ended season in 13th place which was our highest ever league finish at that time, reminder of how we rose (and fell) @TheTilehurstEnd @cribsie

@BiscuitAnalytic @RoyalstilIdie 🤔 always tougher at this time of the season playing teams in bottom 8 who are scrapping for survival, evidence Burton the other week (and more then 50 years of watching #readingfc , better to stop looking at table and take it game by game (as Sir Steve used to say)

@d5_rss @TheTilehurstEnd @cribsie @MemorabiliaMal It was definitely 3-1, you finished third but were indeed promoted, I thought that was still the time when only two went up

@Reading106 Does it mean any club can pay £4 4 any 2 Reading players 🤣

@DavidWa01448973 @TheTilehurstEnd @cribsie Think capacity was severely constrained at the time. I used to stand in the Town End frequently in the 1970s, last time I stood there was the Tranmere play off SF 2nd leg when they segregated it and sold extra home tickets, 0-0 draw before the Bolton playoff final 😡

@ColinBi22887613 @TheTilehurstEnd @cribsie Bury, our erstwhile bogey team. Is it an irony that we seem to be following their trajectory because of our horrible and spiteful ownership. Meantime have Shrewsbury or Stockport replaced them as our bogey team?

@ElmParkRoyals @RoyalstilIdie Let’s not forget that in 2014 we had to sell Sean Morrison to pay the bills, ownership has to change but let’s all remember that we are #readingfc and even when (if?) we get new and stable ownership some things will never change

@Jamie_Hodder21 @PictonPedro If he goes doesn’t all (or most) of the money go to Man Utd?

@CazParker1871 @RoyalstilIdie @SportsPeteO I said last week Noel Hunt is managing with both arms tied behind his back and one leg cut off, now his other leg has been chopped off. Seriously wondering if we’ll muster another nine points this season 🤬

Can’t comment on Rowley because aside from one punch he has been a spectator, if @stalbanscityfc are battling to avoid relegation, they are going about it in a strange manner

@ccie6932 @TheTilehurstEnd Yes, we had drawn at home the prior Saturday, then been underwhelmed by Wimbledon away in next round but still gutted to go out to Div 4 opposition, remember we’d lost a replay at Bury at same stage in 1986, thereby avoiding a trip to Watford, FA Cup meant something back then

@Brabazon2 @flightradar24 Difficult to be precise Andy and had to base it on HEL-NRT since HEL-HND wasn't flown back in January 2022, but based upon scheduled block times I think today's flight emits roughly 40% more CO2 (or ~72 tonnes more in absolute terms), clearly not helpful for sustainability

@dawn2042 We used this slide in our Cirium Ascend webinar last week, it illustrates our expected cumulative C919 deliveries through Dec-2033 (the 120th month post first delivery) and compares it to initial 737-200 and A320 progress for their first 120 months (albeit they were last century)

@dawn2042 Data confirms that this one (B-656E/0196) has operated one flight to Con Dao, presumably a demo though as it appears to have returned to Chengdu last Friday 🤔

@dawn2042 Interesting but looks like it hasn’t operated flights in Vietnam yet
