The Tilehurst End Weekend Preview: Sheffield United (H)
Friday Dec 07, 2018
Friday Dec 07, 2018
Whilst a podcast reacting to Paul Clement’s exit from Reading replaced our usual Weekend Preview for Saturday’s game with Sheffield United, we do have a little bit of content for you ahead of the visit of the Blades in front of the Sky cameras.
Earlier this week, Olly Allen chatted to Sheffield United fan Louis Hobbs for our View From The Town End, discussing the Yorkshire side’s season so far, Chris Wilder and the players to look out for (including a couple of former Royals). Bare in mind this was of course recorded before Clement’s sacking, so some comments may not be entirely accurate!
Enjoy!

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 177: Red & White Redemption
Sunday Dec 02, 2018
Sunday Dec 02, 2018
Redemption came in the form of a headed goal for Marc McNulty on Saturday as the Scot broke his Reading duck with a poacher’s effort just days after flopping from the penalty spot at Elland Road.
The Tilehurst End podcast returns this week to look at a contrasting week for the striker with the Royals picking up a point with plenty of late drama along the way. Host Marc Mayo is joined by Matt ‘PannasAndNutmegs’ Lawrence on the show to discuss the 1-0 loss to Leeds United and a 2-2 draw at home to Stoke City, as well as discuss the big news around the club, answer your questions in the mailbag, and look ahead to a live television clash with Sheffield United.
Remember, before that clash Roger Titford will be signing his book Roy Bentley’s Stationary Club in the megastore, as discussed on last week’s show. The book looks into the 1960s period of the club and is on sale for £12 at the Megastore. It’s also available via the When Saturday Comes book shop at https://shop.wsc.co.uk/books.html (postage free).

Friday Nov 30, 2018
We may not have won either game, but do two fairly promising performances at Wigan and Leeds in the past week give Reading some sort of foundation to build on back at the Madejski Stadium against Stoke City this Saturday? This is the main talking point as Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker look ahead to the clash against the Potters, with the latest team news also on the agenda. In addition, this week’s View From The Town End comes courtesy of Stoke fan David Cowlishaw from the Wizards of Drivel podcast.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 176: Welcome To The Post-Gourlay Era
Sunday Nov 25, 2018
Sunday Nov 25, 2018
Anyone hoping for an instant return to the Reading FC of old was brazenly mistaken on Saturday as the Royals took to the pitch for the first time after Ron Gourlay’s resignation as CEO to draw 0-0 with Wigan Athletic.
The point keeps Paul Clement’s out of the drop zone on goal difference and TTE Podcast returns to understand how the game in Lancashire panned out, as well as discuss Gourlay’s exit in-depth, answer your questions in the mailbag, and preview Tuesday’s daunting trip to Leeds United.
An awesome front three of Simeon ‘BucksRoyal’ Pickup, Olly Allen, and Roger Titford appear on the show alongside host Marc Mayo. Roger’s latest book on the Royals, Roy Bentley’s Stationary Club is out now and he pops by to discuss it in the Pubchat section of the show.
The book is on sale for £12 at the Megastore, where there will be a signing before the Sheffield United game on December 8. It’s also available via the When Saturday Comes book shop at https://shop.wsc.co.uk/books.html (postage free).

Championship football is back, and Reading now face their “toughest run of games yet” according to Paul Clement. Wigan Athletic is the starting point, and Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker look ahead to the clash at the DW Stadium in The Tilehurst End Weekend Preview. The departure of Ron Gourlay is also on the agenda along with the obligatory team news and preferred line-ups, whilst we hear from Wigan fan Chris from The Pie At Night Podcast in this week’s View From The Town End.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 175: Where Would We Be Without Yakou?
Tuesday Nov 13, 2018
Tuesday Nov 13, 2018
Yakou Meite led the line for Reading metaphorically and literally on Saturday with the young Ivorian’s brace earning a point in an otherwise poor 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town.
The Tilehurst End Podcast, as ever desperate to focus on the positives, returns this week to place the striker front and centre of Episode 175, working out exactly what it is that is putting Meite in this sort of form, and where he goes from here.
Marc Mayo, Simeon ‘BucksRoyal’ Pickup, and Matt ‘PannasAndNutmegs’ Lawrence sit down to review the weekend’s action while also picking through all the Royals newsbites, mailbag questions, and preview what awaits the team after the international break.
We’ll be back in a fortnight after the trip to Wigan so thanks again for sticking with us and The Tilehurst End Podcast can be taken in via PodBean, YouTube or iTunes. Furthermore, thanks to all listeners who continue to pledge to our Patreon campaign.

Reading picked up a hard fought victory against Bristol City last weekend, but still haven’t won two consecutive matches since last December. Will that change against bottom of the table Ipswich Town this Saturday? In our Weekend Preview podcast, Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker discuss the rarity of the Royals being the favourites, the continued rumours surrounding Paul Clement’s job and the latest injury news ahead of the fixture.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 174: Beating Bristol
Sunday Nov 04, 2018
Sunday Nov 04, 2018
You can’t beat a win but you can ask some serious questions of how Reading got through their 3-2 triumph over Bristol City on Saturday, with the team still lodged inside the Championship relegation zone.
Two quickfire equalisers and a serious deficit in the battle for shots and possession meant it was far from a cruise at the Madejski Stadium, but at the very least the fans went home feeling pretty entertained throughout a breathless 90 minutes.
Chewing over all the goings on in this week’s edition of The Tilehurst End podcast are Marc Mayo and Simeon ‘BucksRoyal’ Pickup, who answer your questions in the mailbag, preview the upcoming clash with lowly Ipswich, and debate the state of the league as a whole in pubchat. Also, apologies for the minor problems with audio quality this week as our connection drifted in and out of position worse than Simon Church.
