The questions for SCG are submitted by all the supporters' groups and individuals and all questions are submitted collectively and debated at the SCG meeting for their worth, not filtered out. A good example of that is the situation in East Stand. I can't speak for other groups, but RT gets some members asking for a relaxation of standing there to improve atmosphere and others asking for better stewarding so they can continue to sit peacefully in seats they have occupied since PP opened. Both views have been put forward at past meetings because they have been asked. The SCG is a collective, not just RamsTrust, so why single them out for criticism?

Thanks, GOC - it works for me, but then it would as I uploaded it! Technology, ugh.

It's been a busy week for fan engagement. Last night was the latest SCG meeting and the minutes are up on the RamsTrust website now. You can view them HERE. There is some overlap with the Fans' Forum, of course, but new stuff in here too, including an answer to the burning question about counting attendance at Pride Park. (You see, I do listen to you sometimes! 😂)

I think art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like Banksy because his work offers a comment on something topical that makes me think about it. I enjoy watching the media trying to evaluate and own it as a Banksy. If someone else had done it, is the message no longer there?

In the Reading player ratings thread. 🍺

That's the origin, of course.

At least I'm one of the few attendees without a bald patch!

Niall McAndrew Number 8 - live coverage (4 pm kickoff, already 1-0 down)

1994. Spooky!

It didn't sound like there is any intention of bringing him back early from what was said about him last night. Both from Bucko and Warne.

Not as restricted as those sitting on the row behind them!

Wrong. Fallout is almost always used in a negative context. Its dictionary definition is "the adverse results of a situation or action"

Some good stuff from Matt Hale last night about striking a balance between rewarding young players and keeping them hungry. And about when and how to give chances, loans out etc. Worth a listen when the video comes out.

This. It's just plain stupid. I have raised with SLO on numerous occasions. "It's out of our hands" is always the reply I get. Aaarggh!

That's good. I know he was only with us for a short while but Springett would have enjoyed playing against his mates, for sure. Still keeps in touch with them at least on Instagram.

What a guy! And still playing out of his skin for us.

And even that comment about booing was said to make the point not to do it during the game itself, to keep supporting the players during the game because it does lift them.

"In the know" - Washington is available for Saturday. As of last night, Gayle's results not through.

Well said. We were told not to record or anything last night, as the Club would be putting out the full video today. I was therefore a bit disappointed to find out that Dietrich was live tweeting, but putting out his own slant on what was said. His headline on X Fallout? Hardly, and the subtext makes it sound like Brown has left as well as Fleming. Just slightly seedy and not at all a reflection of the mood of the room last night.

He said that the independent regulator would be able to intervene with owners if needed, no mention of Morris, and that it may lead to a more even distribution of broadcasting monies. He said that there has been virtually unanimous support from the 72 EFL clubs, apart from a few clubs in receipt of parachute payments.

I liked the dull bits. 😊 Depends what you're there for, really.

As someone in the background said "f***ingredients embarrassing!" Fighting with your own fans. 🙄 In the heat of the moment, even folk in the West Stand Upper were on their feet, and that's understandable, but they sat down again when play settled down. It's the wilful standing that needs sorting.

Are you in charge? 😂 I'm going to this after all. My hubby thought it would be a nice surprise for our wedding anniversary!

Exactly. At the moment I can still stand if I have to, (which is 90% of our matches) but what happens when I can't? No more away games?
