| 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.

A thousand miles away, but just round the corner in spirit

So, after West Ham's victory at Leicester City, to top of table now - Pl - Pts 1. Reading 45 89 [Promotion & Champions] 2. Southampton 45 85 (Goal difference + 35) --------------- 3. West Ham 45 83 (Goal Difference + 32) 4. Blackpool 45 74 Therefore, Saints up unless: A) Last game Saints lose and West Ham win B) Saints draw and West Ham win by a clear margin of THREE goals At this point Saints have scored 81 - West Ham 79. Therefore a Saints draw and West Ham win by 3 goals, would leave Hammers on same points as Saints, same goal difference but ONE goal more scored! But a Hammers victory by a 2 goal margin wouldn't be enough - they'd still be one goal difference short of Saints in that eventuality. Last games: Southampton v Coventry City West Ham v Hull City How will it play out? Opinions here ... |

West Ham beat Hull 5-0. However when the final whistle blows at West Ham, Saints are 0-1 down to Coventry with 3 minutes still to play. Lambert takes a shot from 40 yards which is going hopelessly off target until it hits a giant inflatable titanic causing it to end up in the corner of the net. Cameras pan to Allardyce.

Please let it be Saints. After various visits to KUMB, I really dislike everthing about WHU. I know it's not all their fans, but everything about them this season has really brassed me off! |

Southampton cruise to victory with Billy Sharp again scoring in the first 50 seconds. Never in any doubt. |

West Ham would go up on goal difference. |

Anyone else read this as: Who would you prefer us to be able to sign, Lallana or Vaz Te? |

Can I choose Blackpool? Fingers crossed they both get beaten on Saturday & are both docked 10 points for "Financial Irregularities", Blackpool win their game to take 2nd & Birmingham win the play offs! |

Ugh, if the playoffs consist of Blackpool, Birmingham, Cardiff and West Ham can we just cancel it entirely? I guess Cardiff or Birmingham are the teams I would want to see up.......... |

Hadn't even considered either of theses as being a possibility. [I would take Lallana every day of the week] |
