Reckon on the excitement of games against Palace and Brentford or might Reading really scale the heights and get Brighton and Bournemouth?

Benfica will be a good test. I suspect it might be a three half-hour period type of game, especially as both clubs will be in training camp mode. Shame we can't see it in person but oh well.

And if we end up hosting Brighton in a friendly I will be utterly aghast. They hate us and it used to be because we were better than them and had more going for us. Not sure I could deal with them coming down as the bigger team.

Hopefully not Fulham

Could be Arsenal, seem to have a developing relationship with them?

[blythspartan]

I was hoping that Alex Rae could use his connections to persuade Rangers. I’d love to see them at the SCL. It would certainly be a full house.

Yep, mainly packed with Rangers fans.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Yeah, wouldn’t be averse to bother my arse to attend that one. Celtic could fcuk right off tho’

Long way to come for a friendly. Can't see it tbh blyth.

No idea how reliable this is (or what it implies - guess it doesn't mean much in the scheme of things) but:

Boys were due back for pre-season training on Monday 20th June but they all received a text yesterday to say they can have an extra two days off and now need to report back on Wednesday 22nd. No explanation.

David Moyes’ West Ham United side will make the trip to Berkshire on Saturday 16 July at 3pm.

Reading FC will also host Maidenhead United at Bearwood Park for a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday 12 July, kick-off 1pm.

[Hendo]

Boring.

Why boring?

[NathStPaul]

Boring.

Why boring?

Played them last pre season. Would have rather seen us play Spurs or Arsenal. At least it isn't Swansea I guess.

Genuinely totally forgot about that.

Maybe the other pre-season game will one of the really big clubs/someone different.

PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY

The Royals will face Premier League opposition next month as we host Brighton in a pre-season friendly!

The game will kick off at 3pm on Saturday 23rd July.
Ticket details will be confirmed in due course.

[Nameless]

I think I’ll give the 2 home friendliest a miss and go to Wimbledon and hope for a couple of other nice away games at interesting places.
