Question: What's the dreamiest conclusion to our season?
Reading down, us up (play offs)
Reading down, we go up (auto)
Reading stay up, us up (play offs)
Reading stay up, we go up (auto)
I don't give a fuck about the plastics
We won't go up, so Reading down please

It's starting to look quite dire for Reading.  They've taken their eye off the league recently and - with a few more poor results - I can see them being cut adrift of the 21st place they will need to achieve to survive.

I don't particularly dislike them.  (If truth be told, I'm quite impressed with what they have achieved in the last 10 to 15 years.)  But I really would like to start playing them again on a regular basis.  The local rivalry with Reading is not particularly strong at the moment...but give it a few years and I can quite easily see them start to replace Oxford in our 'affections' (assuming, of course, that Oxford's success this year is not repeated and they get marooned in League 2 for the next few years).  A Swindon/Reading rivalry has the potential to be huge.

There have been discussions on here about this before, and I know there are plenty who disagree with me on this...but that's the way I see it.  One way or another, I have a feeling we'll be playing Reading next year...so could be interesting.
