steve roberts 9,246 Posted February 2, 2023 I would have thought keeping team's names "alive" would encourage lost fans to attend such meetings? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it still mentions Swindon... we were told that we couldnt compete using the terms "Reading" or "Racers" in our name. Having said that I get that these upcoming matches are just one off challenges, so a bit of a different case. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
