Day 10, Reading v QPR


We didn't do much of anything Saturday, but we did drive into Reading for the 5:20pm Coca-Cola Championship League match at The Madjeski Stadium.  Reading had spent the 2 previous seasons in the Premier League, but was relegated back down to the Championship at the end of last season.  They managed to retain most of their players, so I did get to see Steven Hunt, Kevin Doyle, Ivar Ingamarsson, Andre Bikey and American goalkeeper Marcus Hanneman.  The stadium was really nice, and for not being full, was quite loud at times.  We had a great view of the Away Fans section and enjoyed the back and forth with the vocal home fans next to them.  The match itself wasn't great, a nil-nil draw, but some of the play and demonstration of skill was spectacular.
