    Because of my job in the days when we could accept hospitality before it got stopped I was fortunate to be invited
    to quite a number of games. Leicester (away) at Filbert Street 2-1 ( Lowndes, Currie) stands out as does Sheffield Utd
    at Bramhall Lane. Nice meal (passed up on the chance to meet their players) then watched us beat my hosts beloved
    Blades in a surprise win. Remember Andy Saville scored with a header. Other guests ( all Unitedites) scowled at the after match buffet whenever I went to get some snap. Smug afterglow or what.? Man City away 2-1 and little Clint scoring at Maine Road was memorable as well. Didn't appreciate that day how our season was going to end.

    Best and worst was Man Utd away. We got mullered 7-0 in our Prem season but we had a laugh cos Charlie Williams was in our suite. Never stopped laughing all afternoon. He was in the Chairmans Lounge once at Oakwell also ( Portakabin at back of West Stand) with Jack Charlton at an FA Cup tie against Ipswich Town. Jack was at the time Manager of the Republic of Ireland team.

    He told us that Jack was watching a Barnsley player because he'd been told he'd had a pint of Guiness.!
    At the time Charlie had grey hair and looked a little wrinkled. He went onto the pitch at half time to generous applause from our crowd. When he got back he said to big Jack " they thowt 'ar wor Nelson Mandela."!!

    Jack and everyone round about couldn't stop laughing for yonks. What a laugh and what's more another win for the Reds on the day and a chance to progress to the next round.

    Funny that. I found the Reading stewards to be the nicest around when I was there. Giving it the whole "Welcome to the Madejski Stadium, do you need help to fin dyour seat? How was your journey down?" and all that.

    Not for me mate. We lose every single time we go there, and I don't drink at aways.

    Leicester City away heard our fans asking a Steward " weer's seeats mi owd" . They asked him about four
    times and he just stood there shrugging his shoulders. Must have thought he'd been talking to aliens.
    Bet he didn't understand " Doylem" as they moved on either.!!
