This time next week our first game in the Championship will be behind us, but are we ready yet.
No, we are not, in my opinion, with one of their worst seasons still ingrained on their minds, the fans are not going to be too patient. The sacking of the old Manager and his replacement have altered very little so far to grasp at positive outcomes.
The talk of money being available, quality signings and progressive on and off the pitch activities, have done very little to satisfy my appetite for the new season.
This is not being pessimistic but realistic, maybe it is that talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. If we seriously want to spend big on a striker, how come an offer was not even made for Gary Hooper for example, is it because they can't off-load the "Pog".
Why not make him our main striker, or if he wants to move on, bring in the player who will fill that role, but for all that is sacred in the world, pull ones finger out of ones arse and do something.
If Adkins is to make a mark, he has to hit the ground running, so far there seems few signs we are any further forward than the day before Brian was released.
Having got all that off my chest, it will be nice to go down to the Madstad and watch football again.
With season ticket in my back pocket, and new away shirt on my back, I will be driving down to the ground and taking my seat in the lower West in blazing sunshine, along with another 18000+ crowd looking out onto the beautifully manicured pitch to watch the Royals begin an unbeaten run, returning home feeling that all in the world is great, and reading all the plaudits about how Reading FC are back and playing fantastic football, like a breath of fresh air in the football league.
