| WELCOME TO ROYALS RENDEZVOUS - THE 1871 CLUB The Royals Rendezvous – the 1871 Club was formed over the Christmas-New Year period of 2010-2011. Many of its initial members were regular contributors to the BBC 606 service – alas, no longer in operation – who wished for a more specialized Reading FC orientated forum, whilst maintaining the good spirited type of conversation and banter that the BBC tried to promote. In its first two years of existence, the Royals Rendezvous is achieving outstanding success, with new members signing up continuously, and the member base itself extremely active. Over 500 members, over 70,000 posts is proof enough of the growing role of this specialist Reading FC fans forum web site. It is already recognized in other sporting circles as a major source of news and fan interaction (especially that related to Reading Football club of course), and has a strong and enthusiastic moderation team. Royals Rendezvous has also developed fine relations with many other specialist football forums, especially with teams of our own league. You’re currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain areas of the board and there are many features you cannot use. However, if you are a fan of another team you are currently allowed to post in “Rivals, but Friends” and the "Other Matches" sections, strictly abiding by the language decency standards that Royals Rendezvous maintains. No aggressive posts, wind-ups or swearing or the post will be edited/deleted. But please read on.... If you join our community you’ll be able to access member-only sections, and use many member-only features such as customizing your profile, sending personal messages to other users, posting your comments and opinions in threads all across our website, signal your appreciation of other people’s posts, be able to vote in polls (there are many polls amongst RR members and often run simultaneously), enter member competitions, and adding your personal material in the Media section, which contains many photographs, newspaper cuttings and other media connected with Reading Football Club, plus the large RR Reference Library of over 160 links and addresses. In addition you'll hear first hand of our news and announcements, and be able to participate in an all-ranging 'anything goes' section. So take advantage, registration is simple, fast, and completely free – you can become a FULL member at an instant, and are welcomed as such on Royals Rendezvous from Day 1 – promised!

Greetings everyone! You can divulge as much or as little info on here as you like. Thanks Daib0 for the holla!  I'm a 34 year old office worker from Tilehurst. I've been following Reading since 1989. My favourite game was the 6-0 spankin' of the Hammers and my all time favourite RFC player is Graeme Murty! Edited by Tilehurstsouthbank, 11 Jan 2011, 02:30 PM.

Hi guys! Good job with the board. Looks pretty good. Totally given up on BBC 606 which is a real shame as Tilehurstsouthbank will know I set up a Reading team for a footie tournament in Northampton last year. That was when the posters on 606 were a good bunch. |

Great to hear from you Biscuitmens Revenge - do indeed remember you from 606. Shame the shambles it has become of recent times. Still let's look positive - and look forward to reading all your posts on here. |

We'll be doing our best to keep the wums away mate. I'm keeping an eye out for other friends on the old 606. People like Dixie Royal. Would be great if him and others could sign up too!
