You are joking, trust me I lived in that neck of the woods in the seventies & there is big rivalry , & regarding the 40 miles you are right but it is only 1 hr on the m40 & that my friend is a local match
Friends have been ST holders at Watford for many years and not once heard them mention Reading as a local rival. Luton, obviously, but weirdly antagonistic towards Palace and JWAFCB
I thought the first goal was great until they scored the second which was even better. We need to take advantage tomorrow for it to matter though.
