0ne of my customers has a box there and invited me and a few to be his guests for the day :beer:
Thing is i'd much rather be behind the goal with 3 or 4k Bees. Have to work out a way of declining the offer without causing offence!

Reading away in 2001 was my first ever away game aged 11 and I'm pretty excited to be going back in these circumstances.. Has to be an absolute definite :wave:

As I was 11 last time and only been to Reading once since visiting a mate at uni all I know of reading pubs is some bleary memories. So I can't help you there.

I support Brentford, what sort of donut are you if you think I'd rather be in with the oppo behind glad than singing my heart out with 3,000 Bees?

He'll get it if he's a real football fan

My company used to have a box at Reading as our main UK HQ was just across the road. I think they've demolished it now after we moved out.

Anyway, used to get into the box sometimes if the big wigs weren't using it. Sometimes for the football, other times for the rugby (the catering at the rugby was far better). Until an unfortunate incident about 10 years ago when for some reason I agreed to go to a Reading - Watford evening game straight from work by some colleagues. Was well oiled before we got into the box and things got progressively worse as the box was quite close to the away seating and all the booze was free. Suffice to say I was eventually asked to remain inside the box and to not direct any further abuse towards the Watford supporters. They obviously thought I was a Reading fan and went banana's when I made it quite clear who my team was.

Funny, but for some reason I was never invited back. rofl

Got this pencilled in as our second biggest following of the year. How many do people reckon we'll take? I reckon similar to MK away last year.

Apart from Fulham away, this is the big one for me. I actually hate them, growing up with all my mates supporting them in the Prem.
I hope we turn them over and take the piss whilst were at it too.

Seems know one knows where to drink, perhaps ille get more joy looking for cafes or coffee bars ???
 

Pubs for Reading away?

there are no pubs near ground, nearest i can think off a few in spencers wood ,a few in shinfield , or the the world turned upside down ( cheap cavery) but still a brisk walk to staduim ( must be at least a min off 20 minutes) if anyone can think of a nearer one , well done . also if people think we are going to get 5000 tickets think again . i watched watford a few years ago v reading at Madejski Stadium and think they got half away end ( max 3000) all depends on reading if they wish to opein up

Come out of station, town centre straight in front of you. You will find enough pubs full up of Brentford. Nothing near the ground so this is best
, easy and almost logical option

cheers herbert was hoping for casuals mate in reading to respond as he knows some naughty dives lol
 

Pubs for Reading away?

Apologies to 237bee. Reply was for Nanny and joebee. Don't know how that happened. From my phone

Pubs in the town centre used to be very lively on Brentford match days when you could walk up Oxford Road to the ground, Spiderbee will remember most of them! What was the underground one right opposite the station? I bet that is not there anymore!
 

Pubs for Reading away?

I do a lot of work in reading so know it pretty well....you've got a yates, spoons, o'neills and a few more all within 50metre of each other in the town centre.....all rubbish but will be full of Brentford.....plus the 3 guineas in the station, but the old bill like to keep you in there and out of the way so try to avoid that one as theres no escape once in there lol nothing near the ground at all so don't bother ;)

If on Waterloo train, get off at Wokingham and go in the Molly Millard, bit of a Chelsea pub but lots of TV and pool tables, then just back on train and free bus to MadStad.
I do hope I'm not working on this day...

You are the man for Reading pubs i reckon .

My mate runs the Railway club, just a two minute walk from the station. We'll have it all to ourselves. Tiny little venue, but enough to keep out the way. The three guineas on the station and all the rest are a short walk from the station, in Friar street. The nags head is a great choice for real ale buffs, but gets very busy on Match days. Nothing near the ground apart from the Holiday inn hotel. Anybody going by minibus or driving, you've got a village called Theale at the next junction down from the stadium on the M4 junction 12. 3 little boozers in the High St
 

Pubs for Reading away?

Maidenhead could be a good place to start.
12 minutes and 1 stop from Reading.
Loads of pubs, 2 spoons less than 3 minutes from the station.
