Will get promotion tonight if they better West Hams result

[scram]

They'll be all but promoted even if they just match west ham's result - currently both drawing

[Mickjj]

Talk about a team being on fire. They are just lucky they do not have a city rival matching them step by step

Or at all!

Good, well done Reading.

If they get promoted that means Antonio remains ours through the playoffs if needed, with a chance of signing him next year.

He stays regardless!

[DeeeeeJ]

He stays regardless!

That read wrong, if they go up, he will be surpless to requirements.

If they are fighting for the play offs and pick up a few niggling injuries he can be recalled.

[TheEnchanter]

Currently Reading 0 - 0 Notts Forest and Bristol City 1 - 1 West Ham. Its worth mentioning Coventry and Portsmouth could both be relegated tonight too.

[owls maniac]

Dingles losing again.

How I would laugh if that gobshite Hill got relegated.

[EcclesallOwl]

Boooo!

Oh well, still pretty funny considering they were on about going for the play offs.

[mattitheowl]

Leeds losing AGAIN! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[beano]

Congratulations Reading

[owls maniac]

Leeds down to 10 men again!

Dirty or more people born out of wedlock

[EcclesallOwl]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES

FULL TIME!!!

[ReadingOwl]

Well done Reading.

I live in a Premiership Town, now.

[EcclesallOwl]

GET SSN ON!!

Amazing scenes

[EighteenSixty7]

Well done to them but I don't think they're that good of a team. They've gained momentum, that's all.

EDIT - On now!

the BBC football website is an embarrassment now - took ages to update the Reading goasl and only just a few minutes ago updated the live table - i was wondering why everybody was saying that Reading were promoted...

Looks like big Sham is gonna have to win the play offs - best squad, biggest budget by a distance - well done!

Just explained this to my wife, as her pupils are Reading fans.

No 'stars' just a good team.

They have had an amazing run.

Just shows what can be done.

They're one hell of a team

[mattitheowl]

The whole fooking stadium is on the pitch there! Incredible!

It was the commentary on Radio 5 Live.

Robbin Savage too.

[Arthur Bach]

THATS how you get promoted.

No meek targets of 'good draws' or conceding late on in games.

Well done Reading, totally deserving promotion thanks to dominating the form table with utter confidence.

[fifaowl]

Looks like all of Reading is on the pitch!

[DeeeeeJ]

Well done to Reading and they deserve it.

Watching that just makes me so jealous and envious of how much I want that at Wednesday.

I don't think I can take another season in League 1.

[TheEnchanter]

I like Reading a lot and would go so far as to say they are my favourie Championship club, (prem now!). Recently to back that up I met a few on holiday and they were great people. Well done Reading, well done Brian McDermott.

[Mickjj]

Got to say that ALF played his part scoring some crucial goals. Well done Alf congratulations Reading.

On another note what a coincidence it will be if both West Ham and ourselfs are in the Play-Off finals in the same season again.

[trusty_left_peg]

Much like Sunderland in 1999 - having lost the previous season's play-off final they've dusted themselves down and done an incredible job. McDermott has done very well there and they have some talented players that should thrive in the top flight.

Not forgetting Southend as well...

[NeonLeon]

Amazing achievement when you consider that they were 20th at the end of August of the back of 4 straight defeats, and Sarf'ampton were sat in 2nd!

[aeroswfc]

Congratulations and well done Reading.

[Binky Griptite]

Our Gert is a Reading fan, therefore I'm a closet Reading fan, really pleased and looking forward to maybe getting to a couple of Prem games next season as well as a number of Championship games!

[DJMortimer]

Looks like all of Reading is on the pitch!

Great scenes at the end with Mikele Leigertwood being crowd-surfed towards the tunnel.

Good luck to Reading, I hope they win the title.

Can't stand Alardyce - nothing but a fat, classless whinger.

[owls maniac]

How I would love to see scenes like that at Hillsborough one day.

As for Fat Sam, how on Earth have they not ran away with the league with that team?

Would love nothing better than to see the tvvat out on his arse at the end of the season. Shame because I have a lot of time for West Ham.

[EcclesallOwl]

Was amazing to see John Madejski bouncing and jumping then

2 years ago reading were in a relegation battle with us.

[bladeshater]

Signing players of quality helps mr le fondre could have been gracing the hillsborough turf but we chose not to pay the required fee

Not true, two sides to every story.

[bladeshater]

Not true, two sides to every story.

Yes there is i believe that side i know le fondre and marshall can you see a pattern emerging

[Otto_Man]

46 points from the last 17 games.

That's how you win promotion

Totally agree if it comes off brilliant if it doesnt the lack of investment in a couple of quality players in the last transfer window maybe our downfall

[DeeeeeJ]

Don't want to change this into a thread re Le Fondre / Marshall.

I know for a fact Marshall and Le Fondre were offered A LOT more money for them teams than with us. Also, a chance to play at a higher level with better bonuses and a more solid future.

They did nothing wrong and in there situation i'd have done the same.

My last post on this eventually yes they were offered more money but both were offered to us before speaking to the other clubs there was a window oppertunity that we missed that also is a FACT

Unsure on Le Fondre, but that's not true regarding Marshall.

[Danish]

Well done Reading.

Congrats to Ian Harte also. He's done really well to put his career back on track.

[wahey89]

Their second half of the season has been mind blowing, any team managing that deserves to go up.well done Reading!

[scram]

And to think they have ripped the division a new one - and blitzed much bigger spending clubs - and they do it with and active policy of selling their best/most valuable players and buying cheaper replacements.

They always aim to recoup from player sales and spend less than they get in.

But it can't be done right?

Never get anywhere by selling your best players

Perhaps somebody needs to tell Brian McDermott and Chris Powell...
