Reading (A) match thread - Jan 13th

I agree with valiant , If the vale go down reading and play with the same attacking intent as last sat  they won't go far wrong but sit back and play safety first there's only going to be one winner ,  UTV , KTF .

What about the Jelly we have in defence and midfield at times if your using fire power metaphor up front.  As the opposition goes past them all they do is watch and wobble as they score.  🤣

If the players push up and play at a fast pace we have seen them do then we could easily grab the 3 points.

they have been on a good run recently so it won’t be too easy with Garrity and Ojo out

Going the game on Saturday; was thinking of getting the train there but there ground is a good 2 or 3 miles from the mainline station.  Anyone know of a bus service that connects the two...??

park and rides and buses from town centre. 

We're on train and will probably use them.

There is a bus 79 (F1) from the station, but you can get others if you go into the town for a drink.

Reading Green Park rather than Reading is the nearest station apparently. If you book a train ticket with RGP as your destination it comes in at the same price as Reading.

With most train tickets you're better off splitting the ticket into two or three legs without having to change trains.

Smudge!!!!!  Brilliant!!  Think that will be the one for me m8 😎😎😎

There is a new station called Reading Green Park which is a 10-15 minute walk to the ground. Trains run from Reading Station. Alternative I think they run football buses from outside Reading Station to the stadium (certainly did in the past) or a taxi is £10-£15 from middle of town to the stadium.

There aren’t many/any places to drink around the stadium - surrounded by retail and business park so best bets are drinking in town (for any early arrivals) or at the stadium.

Cost 4 of us from Stoke £253.00 .

Main lure is the new ground. But expensive business. 

I've already spent 90 quid on train and ticket before left the house.

We'll sit back, as we do away from home, and then try to go for it a bit once we're a couple down in the second half and the games already as good as done.

That’s the spirit 😂
