Will the Ram

Colours mean nothing, blame less so.
When we recall, 35 years ago.
The 97, who no longer cheer,
The grace of God, keeps the rest of us here.
It could have been you.  It could have been me.
Que sera, sera, it wasn't to be.
So spare them a minute.  Spare them respect.
For the family of football, for the families since wrecked.
Just one minute, to remember those lost.
Whatever the cause, T'was one hell of a cost.
Never forget the 97,
As they look down, from their Kop up in heaven.

They were actually released in the 2001/02 season. I’m not sure why they’ve released these. We got relegated from the PL in this kit.

I have never understood how football has allowed this bizarre situation to be accepted where the Clubs pay the fees for the player’s agents. These players employ their agents- they work for them and benefit from their efforts. Yet the Clubs pay the fees ! It’s nonsense. The players themselves should be paying for THEIR agent’s fees.
Madness.

Fed up with relying on other teams being sh*te and c*cking up rather than just getting the job done ourselves.

I think this was one of our best away shirts:
My first shirts were from the season before with the Puma sponsor instead of EDS. I had Wanchope on the back.
This is one of my favourite away shirts:

They could be facing another points deduction. £104M loss before they sold Johnson if I’m reading it right:

No mention of them failing FFP to get promoted in the first place. I guess that doesn’t fit the fairytale story of them winning the PL.

Perhaps some fans don’t want to stand but have to because others in front of them are standing? Buying tickets at the front with the intention of standing is selfish.
Stewards & police do nothing about persistent standing. Being a wheelchair user I have to avoid certain away grounds because I know I won’t see most of the game because people will be standing in front of me.
Something needs to change.

Things are gradually improving regarding facilities at away grounds but some clubs still have a way to go. Some stadiums we still have to sit with opposition fans (Villa, Ipswich, Port Vale, Forest Green).
I avoid going to Charlton in particular as you can’t see the near penalty area when everyone else in front of you is standing. Charlton know about the issues but seemingly refuse to do anything about it.
Going to Forest also isn’t a nice experience for disabled fans as we have go through the home concourse to get to the away end. I probably wouldn’t go if it wasn’t our derby.

I hope to be making the trip (I have my tickets). I’m a wheelchair user and I’m really looking forward to trying out the new wheelchair facilities (platform) in the away end! On previous visits I had to sit behind the opposite goal with the home fans which was quite isolating as we were so far away from the away support (I actually decided not to attend last season because of that).

Some of our fans in the south stand on Tuesday night were chanting about partying when Reading die. I hated it when any opposition fans sang it during our troubles. Our fans chanting the same at others is disgusting too.
