sheffieldblue Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Never seen any antaganism from Reading Fans. Bus ride from the station, or £8.00 plus to park a car. You wont have any trouble at Reading with the lad, perfectly safe place to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

londonowl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I don't take my youngest to many away games (he's also 6) but he will be coming to Reading. Always a friendly enough place to go and the rake on the stand is so much that it's usually OK for them to get a half decent view as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ReadingFan1871 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 We're an intimidating bunch down here But seriously, as others have said a friendly place to go. Rarely have I seen any trouble other than minor isolated incidents which would probably happen at any sporting event. Are you driving? If so, parking around at the ground and in places that are VERY nearby is £8. However most regulars park in a nearby housing estate - about 20 minute walk - and that is free. Public transport: - plenty of buses to ground which take about 15 minutes and cost £4 - The Nags Head pub in Reading (about 15 minute walk from train station) is fantastic, great atomsphere, shows sports and welcoming to any fan. They do a private bus to ground and back for £4 - advantage is no queuing, straight out of pub or the ground and onto a bus. - There's another pub in an area of Reading called Caversham where you can get a private bus too - never done that myself but heard it's quite good - Cab too obviously but more expensive - Some walk but it's about a 30-40 minute walk - easy enough on a nice warm summers day but probably not on a cold December afternoon Home fans and away fans have in the past felt a bit let down due to there being limited places to drink near the ground - with it being a more modern bowl it's out of town. However, the club have made some effort recently and made the best of a poor situation. Outside the East Stand (to the right of the away stand) is a series of local Bitter stands and lager, as well as food, plus tons of benches. This is away fan friendly - as is everywhere really - so if you fancy a beer go there if you're at the ground. Good luck, but hope you lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ReadingFan1871 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 According to this: http://www.readingfc.co.uk/fans/fan-zone/ It opens about 2 hours before kick off. 21 minutes walk from the ground (according to google maps) is the World Turned Upside Down pub which is, I think, away fan friendly. http://www.crowncarveries.co.uk/nationalsearch/southeast/theworldturnedupsidedownreading Depending on how you're arriving there may be more options. I know some who drive, go for a drink in Three Mile Cross (an area just south of Reading), or Shinfield. Both are easily walkable to the ground.
