The 2020-21 season did not begin with intrepid fans chuntering up the hill to the Madejski Stadium filled with the boisterous optimism of a new football season. Instead, we sat huddled around our laptops and televisions, desperate for an escape from the outside world. Cause for optimism was in short supply but Veljko Paunovic’s Reading FC delivered from the off, a ray of glorious sunshine from the dark clouds that hung over us all. Suddenly the fans had a team to adore, to enjoy, and to be proud of once again. All season long we tuned in, eager for another glimpse into our footballing dreamland. Alas, just as spring had sprung, Reading’s season died down into familiar, sullen, reality. What we are left with is not an exhilarating play-off period, or the ecstasy of a promotion parade, but the elegant calm of reflection, on a season that charmed, churned and captivated us, when we needed football the most.

It was the first chance for Reading FC to show that their plunge out of the play-off zone was all due to the pressure of the big occasion, but Veljko Paunovic’s men fell to a 4-1 defeat at Norwich as even seventh place began to slip away.
To review the penultimate game of the season, Marc Mayo is joined by Simeon Pickup for Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 263. After the Recap, a couple of Mailbag questions were on the agenda before an award for Michael Olise in Newsbites and one last time around the maypole in Big Match Preview.

It’s that time of year again - Reading’s financial accounts have been published.
Just like 12 months ago, we welcome football finance expert Kieran Maguire - author of The Price Of Football - onto the podcast to dissect the figures.
Kieran gives us the lowdown on just how bad the club’s financial position is, while there’s discussion on how important it is that Dai Yongge remains interested in Reading, whether a points deduction is possible for next season and what the future is for Financial Fair Play regulations.
If you’re boggled by the numbers, this is a must-listen.

One cold spring evening in 2011, a new being emerged from the online swamp on fan punditry and, much to the amazement of all, it still lives a decade on, fully evolved into the thoroughly reliable, week-in week-out 6/10 performer that we all know and love.
Yes, The Tilehurst End is ten years old and to mark the occasion, we hosted a special podcast with regular host Marc Mayo, website founder Dan Wimbush and current editor Simeon Pickup. The guys discuss the pre-TTE days of Reading fandom, how the site has grown over the years and peel back the curtain on the running of the site.

Few men have made such an indelible mark on Reading FC as Phil Parkinson.
In 11 years at the club, the bombastic midfielder won two promotions, two Player of the Year awards, and racked up hundreds of appearances.
Parky sits down to discuss all that, Gazza turning up at his testimonial, an appearance in the Mad Stad dugout, and much more with Marc Mayo and Marco Bader of The Tilehurst End Podcast.
