Arnie_Pie I expect this has been asked loads of times so apologies in advance. On the occasions I attend, it's always on a Saturday and I get the train in to town and then the bus.
As it's a Tuesday, against Oxford (concerned about potential trouble) and and I've got my 11 year old in tow who needs to go to school in the morning, I want to park for the first time. I'll be coming off and back onto the M4.
How long are the queues likely to be getting out of the onsite parking and am I better off parking a bit further away and walking?
Cheers.

Would suggest parking and getting the bus from Mereoak. Unless you and your boy fancy a 30 min walk to the stadium.

RoyalBlue Another option. Holiday Inn (Reading South), Basingstoke Road. A tenner to park. A mile walk to the stadium.

That is never a mile is it? Felt a lot less when I parked there.

Bang on a mile according to Google Maps.

I'd agree with this if you're driving.
Depending on where you're coming from, I'd consider the football buses from out of Reading as well as it's unlikely there will be any trouble on them.

John Madejski's Wallet Where do you prebook the dogtrack? I've never noticed it on the RFC site, but have been turned away a few times as it's been so heavily prebooked

Would never have thought it. Guess at the time I used to park there we were a semi competitive football team so the walk came with some element of excitement so didn't feel as long.

And now it feels like a slow soul sucking drudge?!

Oh I haven't been for 3 years and won't again until Dai has gone.

Orion1871 On that note. Whatever happened to the user on here who used to call the stadium the "ego dome" and said they wouldn't return until Madejski had gone? Presumably, they came back and are enjoying life under Dai and the other owners we have had since Sir Mad.

I know that RoyalBlue always had a been in his bonnet about Madejski.
