It's not the most accessible stadium in England (by some distance) but there's another travel means that's gaining a bit of attention: the Park and Ride from Mereoak just off J11 of the M4. Costs £3.50 for a return (the same as the bus from the train station) but parking is free – pretty good value! Doesn't take long to arrive at the stadium, and of course they'll take you back again after the match. Worth checking out, as parking spaces don't come too easily near the stadium!

For a Reading FC fan, there will be few things better than going on a tour of the stadium where they spend a lot of their weekends!You can kick back and relax like the players in the players lounge, see the championship trophy up close and personal, check out the directors box before heading downstairs into the changing rooms, before jogging down the tunnel and taking your place next to the turf - imagination going wild as you feel what it's like to be a Reading player.Be sure to call 0118 968 1103 for more information.
