Reading (a) Build Up

[Chazza]

Respects to be paid

Supporters of Reading Football Club and Liverpool Football Club will hold a minute's silence before Saturday's fixture at Madejski Stadium as a mark of respect for the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

With the game falls two days before the 24th anniversary of the tragedy, plans began last week for a fitting tribute to the 96 supporters who lost their lives. The Royals contacted the Premier League earlier today and they of course agreed it was absolutely correct to pay respect on such an occasion.

Earlier this season Madejski Stadium held a fitting tribute to the 96, with all of our supporters rising to salute the playing of You'll Never Walk Alone at our home game with Tottenham, shortly after the publishing of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report.

And when we played at Anfield earlier this season, a collection of Reading flags and scarves were left by our supporters at the Hillsborough memorial next to the Shankly Gates.

That's a nice touch. I hope they hand all 3 points over too.

I hope to god they won't try and tie it in with a Thatcher silence.

This is a worry, Madejski is a Thatcher loving Tory cunt aswell. You'd hope no one would be so stupid but you never know! Only takes one **** up, mis communication somewhere and you'll have chaos.

He's already called for it hasn't he along with Whelan, no way should the two ever be linked

Think/hope this is Readings way of distancing themselves from it.

Why would any football ground have a minutes silence for her? She was hardly a friend of the game.

It's so f*cking stupid, all these silences for things that have nothing to do with football.

The only way they could make it work is if they announce a minutes shouting, jeering, booing and swearing in her memory.

No, they're not playing the Scum this weekend so I doubt they'll hand anything over...

It's going to happen if they do try to do one anyway so fingers crossed they'll see sense and shelve it

True. But still I live in hope.
