How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
If you are travelling along the M4 from the west you can see the stadium on your left. Leave the M4 at Junction 11, bear left on to the A33 relief road which leads you directly to the stadium. The Madejski Complex is well signposted from Junction 11 Car Parking
If you arrive early enough then there is street parking to be had along Imperial Way. To find this, leave the M4 at Junction 11 and take the A33 towards Reading. After you come off M4 and head towards the stadium on the A33, turn right at the first roundabout into Imperial Way. There is also some parking at the Old Depot by the Courage Brewery on the A33/Imperial Way roundabout at a cost of £7
By Train
Get the train to Reading mainline station and then the No 79 'Football Special' bus. The buses leave just down from the station, commencing at 1pm for Saturday afternoon games.. Once you come out of the main station entrance turn right and they are about 200 yards down the road on the opposite side - there is normally one waiting.
Where To Eat & Drink?
There are no pubs as such near to the stadium. However a Holiday Inn which was around a 15 minute walk away. The hotel as a small bar inside it, but then attached as a larger Irish themed separate bar area, called Callaghans. This bar as Sky Television
What's The Ground Like?
This stadium opened in 1998 is light years away from the old Elm Park, the Club's former home for over a century. It is purpose built on the very outskirts of Reading, close to the M4, and the complex even boasts a hotel attached to the back of the West Stand. So if you have plenty of money and don't fancy the journey home, or if miraculously you have pulled inside the ground....
The stadium is of a fair size and is totally enclosed, with all four corners being occupied. Three sides are single tiered, whilst on one side the West Stand is two tiered, including a row of executive boxes. The ground has been designed with the supporter in mind as the supporters are very close to the pitch and the acoustics are good. The stadium also has a video screen in the South East corner.
The stadium, named after Reading's multi millionaire chairman, is shared with London Irish Rugby Club and was recently voted as having the best facilities for disabled supporters in the League. Often at football matches you can still make out the white lines used for the previous rugby match.
What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are located in one end of the stadium, in the Fosters Lager South Stand, where up to 4,300 can be accommodated (although the normal allocation is 2,100). The facilities in this stand are good with plenty of leg room and the views of the pitch are superb
