Reading has a much better infrastruture with U/18 & U/23 teams also Paul Ince currently as manager. They've had a 6 point deduction which doesn't help but look lik ethey can survivre this season.(25-03-2022, 04:09 PM)mikey393 Wrote: I don't think anyone of us know the real reason for buying the club except it had potential & it was dirt cheap, to buy.

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.
We are No longer a big club most on here agree with that now. Under the current owner I can't see that changing either.
Pompey has a lot more long term potential under the right ownership but currently we are just treading water. It's just potential until a new owner turns it into reality.
