Ok we drew 1-1 at the ‘mad stad’ but also beat you 0-6….I love how shit it is to be Reading. I remember when they were all wearing Man Utd and Liverpool shirts… Reading get into the premiership, all of a sudden everyone is a Reading fan… how I love watching this football club fail. Reading… best stadium in league one. Best get some more tennis balls for the pointless protest.
Oxford v Swindon only came about because Reading were miles ahead of them both. Oxford v Reading is historically a big derby if you look at the history between the two clubs. If Reading Oxford became a more frequent fixture it would quickly become bigger than Oxford v Swindon.
Swindon vs Oxford as a rivalry, long predates Readings 20 or so years in the higher divisions. And during that time, Reading had plenty of time to develop rivalries with other clubs in the area… QPR, Bristol City, Watford, Brentford… the truth is, nobody really cares.
It's very much a secondary rivalry though isn't it? It was always Oxford/Swindon and Reading/Aldershot in my younger days. Obviously with Aldershot out of the picture for decades, Reading now look to the other two as rivals, which is reciprocated in both cases but not to the same extent. A bit like how Leicester are regarded by Derby & Forest in the East Midlands.
For the younger generation of Oxford fan's then yeah it would be Swindon but for the older fans it'd be Reading, if the games played more frequently I can see Reading v Oxford being much more recognised around England.@@simeonayling9882
