BT To Show Royals Trip To Manchester United

By Hob Nob Anyone?

Reading's FA Cup third round match against Manchester United will be screened live on BT Sport. The game's selection for TV coverage will see the game kick-off at 12:30pm on Saturday 7 January 2017. The game was always likely to be picked for live TV with Reading manager Jaap Stam making a return to his old club, who find themselves out of form and struggling in the Premier League.

The lunch time kick-off will mean an early start for the Reading fans that choose to make the trip up to Manchester. Ticket prices, allocation and sale dates are yet to be confirmed by the clubs.

On Monday the draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup will be with us (live on BBC 2 at 7pm) Reading will be number 32 For the last 3 years Reading have been give cr@p ties away at fellow Division 2 sides (Huddersfield twice and little tiny tinpot Brighton) and while you may feel a change should be on the cards my expectation is for something equally cr@p like Leeds, Norwich, Barnsley or some other game against a familiar old face Personally I'd like a game against a non league team e.g. Woking or Brackley but looking at the 2nd round it seems that there aren't too many of those left (only one guaranteed to make the draw - Eastleigh…

Hoping Woking go through and we draw them tbh when was the last time we played them competitively? Would be a good big money draw for the 'cards'.

Oxford or wycombe away if not then a localish lower league away trip will be nice.
