Parking
If you get there very early, the club has around 1,000 car parking spaces at the ground. Reading (Greyhound) Stadium, which is a few minutes' walk away, has 500 spaces but fills up quickly.

Alternatively, try street parking in the industrial estate nearby - watch out for the clampers who are in force in this area!

There's the Post House Hotel on Basingstoke Road (£3) or the Hewlett Packard carpark (£4) at the first roundabout on the relief road.

Where to Eat?

When driving in, you will pass a Harvester on the road into Reading. On the retail park next to the stadium is a McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut. There are burger vans around the stadium and food inside the stadium is of good quality.

Where to Drink?

Opposite the station is a Firkin pub. There aren't any pubs near the stadium, so either drink in the town centre or in the ground.

What's their ground like?

Madejski Stadium is single-tiered all the way round apart from one side along the pitch which has two tiers and a row of executive boxes, all the corners are filled in. It is shared with London Irish rugby team.

Palace fans will be housed in the Fosters Lager South Stand behind the goal, which holds up to 4,500. As could be expected with new stadia, the view, legroom and facilities are second to none.

What do they sing?

We all follow the Reading, over land and sea and Oxford!

Who do they hate?

Swindon Town, Oxford United and Wycombe Wanderers
