First game of the season, so Des, Nick and myself headed up Derby way to meet Neal Beattie, Jerry Broone and of course Derby Mark.
Met them in a hard core Derby pub (No away fans sign on the door) which had a few thugs inside but luckily these were the people we were meeting!
Reading held their own in the first half kicking towards the 3,000 Royals fans, but were torn apart in the second half by the promotion favourites(Ha ha, and look where they ended up!!).

| So, here we are lined up, Me,Jerry Broone,Nick,Derby Mark and Dez...quite a formidible force.....not! | |||

The walk to the ground and the "Hog" looks like he's been studying Bono's pose

Whaddya mean I'm a hooligan???
