Reading v Fulham

Any one care who wins?

I reckon Fulham will win the entire thing.

I thought Fulham before it started, didn't look amazing in the first leg so I'm gonna say Wednesday.

Huddersfield to come up for a good away day and a club we should finish above next year. Fulham staying down means we might get Cairney as a bonus.

London's always good for an away weekend, so Fulham for me.

At least the Reading fans aren't looking like mugs this time invading the pitch.

I think I'd rather lose than have those spoty, smelly, fat, ugly guys climb on me.

Cairney from Fulham will be a very good signing.

Having lost three northern clubs and already got Brighton coming up, I'm hoping for either Sheff Wed or Huddersfield to make it. But, I'd rather have Fulham up than Reading. One trip apart, I don't like going to the Madejski Stadium.

I don't recall our record at The Cottage being anything startling, however.

True but is a lovely away day trip though. Far nicer than the soulless Madjeski stadium in the middle of nowhere

Stadium apart, surely that night in 09 was one of the best atmosphere`s ever at a Burnley game?

I suppose it depends on where you're travelling from.

There's nothing more tortuous these days (depending on the mode of transport) than travelling from Burnley to London.

We surely want Huddersfield to go up?

Just down the road, over 4,000 Clarets (if the away end stays the same) there and plenty of decent swills along the way.

Unfortunately, the allocation will be a lot smaller now if Huddersfield are promoted. They've split the 'away' end into two with home supporters housed in the right hand side as you look towards the pitch.
