Hell of a story for Would I Lie to You

1st home PL 2 fixture against Leicester City a week tonight Friday 22nd August has been confirmed as being played at the SCL stadium KO 7pm.
Tickets now on sale £5 for adults
Seating is reserved in the lower west as previously.
For this season the ridiculous car parking charge is removed !!!

Sadly Reading FC’s coverage of the Academy gets no better. We must be the only club out of the 29 Cat 1 teams not to have any PL 2 U 21 fixtures on the website. The U 18’s are there to be fair.
I am not expecting any coverage from the opening PL 2 match at Norwich KO 7pm at all from the club - which if so is just pathetic !!

That's really sad given what the academy have provided for the first team recently.

Hopefully now with a bit more stability in the background, that's something that could change. I'm sure the club has the ability to do a few more features etc. within RoyalsTV with this new matey that's come in.
