Reading had a lot more potential than us at the time & were in the Championship but probably looked at the players & Manager's wages & went into melt down!
Thats quite a ridiculous statement no offence intended. Reading have always been a much smaller club than Pompey and always will be. Any football fan will tell you that. Pompey have a much a bigger following and many more trophies.
Reading have a newer stadium and barely championship status still but they don't have anywhere near the potential Pompey do.
Pompey will always be the much bigger club. Reading are just another MK Dons, a nothing club.
also similar to MK as if they build a big away end they can often fill it due to good transport links to all the London Clubs at least. A nice little earner
