Ah sweet. Only been reading once before and that was about ten years ago.

 

That puts you ahead of 99% of Reading fans in that you actually went to Elm Park...or was it when they were at the Mad Stad?

 

Or, thinking about it, maybe it wasn't football related.

Reading has loads of great pubs, one of the few good things about the town. Problem is none of them are near the stadium which is a 30 minute walk from town. Other than the Harvesters near the ground there are a couple a short walk the other side of the M4 in Three Mile Cross - The Farriers and The Swan. Might be worth a look if you're driving.

No, it was a random reading vs forest game at Mad Stad (got a family friend who is a forest fan!) never been there with Saints! Can't wait for next week.

When you come out of the station walk down the road and I think it is either the 2nd or 3rd turning on the left walk up that road and there's a pub on the right hand side greyfriars road called the gateway

We went here last season, absolutely cracking boozer. The OB were hot on stopping Saints fans walking into the the town from the Three Guineas but we got lucky.

The one by the station was a complete w*nker-magnet. As we got there last season, one young scroat was being thrown out for under-age drinking, and then got arrested after he spat in the face of the bouncer. His pr*ck mates were then giving it the large one from a safe distance. We had a couple of Reading fans with us and managed to talk our way into one of the "home" pubs (which actually had about 25% Saints fans inside anyway).

As it is only 10 mins from me I drink in Reading regularly. If you're an ale man then 3Bs in the Town Hall is the place. One of the few places nowdays who know how to keep an ale. They usually have 4 on the go and continually rotate them so you never know what to expect.
