| 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....

Very interesting. Hopefull and something to look forward to, but further information not likely to be too forthcoming, it would seem. |

Beat me to the thread!! Very good news for the club, the one thing which has made sure we are never sure-fire promotion contenders is a heavy transfer kitty. While McDermott never seems to need a lot of money for his transfers, perhaps this could ensure we get all our targets and become a force to be reckoned with, wherever we are next season. Also good news that SJM will remain as chairman, he has received his share of criticism in the past but, for me, I firmly believe that he has done a good job in keeping us in the black season after season, which is good shape for a team in our position. Carry on the good work! |

heard on twitter, although only from one source, is that there's an 'unnamed american businessman' involved somehow. so imo theres three possibilites: 1) Worst possibility, its a front for SJM 2) Medium possibilty, its an independent investor but judging by the name it'll hardly be massive 3) Best possibility, its a front for a v. wealthy investor |

Although its not on Companies House my dad suggested that could mean its registered abroad, in which case my mind just runs wild with the possibilities... |

Opens up a whole lot of dreams doesn't it? If it does come to be, it might take a few years, but a total buy out could be on the cards. Then, please, let the first big decision be, to change the name of the ground to something which sounds like a football ground rather than an american baseball stadium!!!! |

A thousand miles away, but just round the corner in spirit
|
Yep, big news indeed. And SJM is not 'old' but obviously will have to think about handing over sooner or later. Suffolk - name change? What us doing a deal with the club and re-naming the ground as the "Royals Rendezvous" Stadium ?!!!

Maybe they're going to sponsor the stadium. The Sir John Madejski and Thames Sport arena, got a certain ring to it... |
