A good West Midlands derby for Darren England. He seems to be be progressing well as a SG2 ref. Ditto Darren Bond in charge of the South Yorkshire derby.

We rightly talk on here about lack of originality/variety in the PL appointments but it is evident elsewhere too. This will be James Liningtons 3rd Reading home game this season already and I think he also did their last friendly before the season began.

Easyish journey given the unreliability of the ferry from the Isle of Wight in this stormy weather we keep getting down here!

First fresh air this season for Eddie Ilderton?

Gosh,I hadn't noticed that one. Good to see Eddie is back with us, and not the first time I believe that he has returned to action part way through the season. Will we see any more returning in the next few weeks eg SG2 James Adcock,Mark Brown, Darren Handley and Graham Horwood?

Richard Clark is another we haven't sighted yet this season

The Ipswich based journalists at the match have reported that Anthony Backhouse has just replaced Geoff Eltringham during the first half at Stoke.
