[longtimeagobee]

For @badgerbee , I think he likes this sort of thing

 

[Jay Bee]

Something something freedom pass

 

[kaebess]

Long time since I’ve been but if I remember it an arse of a place to get to, next to the motorway.

 

[petsknee]

Parking recommendations anyone? Sorry, never been to [insert latest sponsor] Stadium...

He does, in fact I reckon if anyone has any advice on the use of oyster cards they might want to message him, he'll definitely appreciate it.

You can park at the stadium

Erm NEW Brentford alert about a mile away near the old beefeater pub on A33 is best free bits on the business parks or main road easy to get away from too

If you want to sit waiting for an hour or so after to get out

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

On the postive side @badgerbee has reminded me to sort out the senior railcard I'm now entitled to! Cheers

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

If you want to sit waiting for an hour or so after to get out

If we play like we did against Brum we'll be the only ones left in the stadium at final whistle...

 

[Jay Bee]

I'll be on the train, just leading people towards the useful info. There is a warning about a 45 min waiting, might be less for such a low key game against a little club....Or as said above the fire drill might have started by 9:15

Someone in the other thread said opportunist parking on industrial estates etc. can get you clamped, sounds a bit risky to me but up to the individual. Maybe there is plenty of off street and on street parking. Good luck.

Irrelevant observation. The club car park is £12 a game. If you commit to a whole season (23 games) it's £276 which is £12 x 23 - what a great deal!

I'd expect them to pay me if I had to watch Reading 23 times...

 

[RT]

£46 return from Gloucester. Criminal. Driving it is

 

[SQUELCH]

Good 30 mins walk to centre reading from the ground I say

 

[w7 bee]

Thinking the Club might partially fund coaches .....nice gesture etc

 

[kaebess]

Took the best part of two hours last time I used it

 

[Tudor bee]

Train direct from Staines. Not sure how long to get to the stadium, but can do a bit of a pub crawl.

Preferred the old Elm Park myself

Buses from the station are cheap and frequent. No need to spend longer near the ground than you have to

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Indeed, there is nothing remotely interesting around there. Which sums up Reading tbh.

 

[She Wore She Wore]

Anybody get there hands on a couple of removal lorries

 

[allanfinnie]

If you have a “London Councils” Freedom pass.
You can travel to Reading on the “Elizabeth line”
for free

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

An hour minimum to the station area …done it a few times

Yup, guilty as charged Thanks for the info...

 

[horshambees]

But lucky to get 6,000 in attendance and we will occupy half of that.

 

[BeeInSW19]

Personally, I reckon it'll be much nearer 14,000 on the night.

Okay and i hope so.They just have to make the tickets cheaper than a bag of chips.
14000 for a league game v Luton
2600 for EFL Trophy v Wycombe so far this season.
Its difficult to tell,but if they sell a 3rd of the stadium out then they have done well imo.

Is that the over 65 one?

 

[BigMarv]

£46 return from Gloucester. Criminal. Driving it is

Irrelevant

 

[hanwellbee]

Is that the over 65 one?

66. There's also an over-60 one but that only goes as far as West Drayton.

 

[RT]

Irrelevant

Bus to station £3
Train return to Reading £46
Taxi back from station in Glos home £18

Or

Drive £4 in electric

Haven't even factored in cost of ticket and food/drinks

Unfortunately my circumstances mean I can't throw around £46 for a train ticket to a football match when I can do it for a fraction of the cost by driving

 

[abeeforever]

For those traveling by train or Elizabeth line, this is what the internet comes up with, (I can't be held responsible) Google maps from the Station (RG1 1JX) to the stadium (RG2 0EL) gives a walking time of 1hr 1 min and that looks like its along the very busy A33 !!!

Best bet is the F1 shuttle bus from the station to the ground £5.50 return cash or contactless, At the moment the timetable is unavailable until date and time is confirmed.

Or you just change at Reading to Reading Green Park of course....they've built a new station since we were last there.

 

[nick logan]

How is this taking so long when it can only be 8th or 9th

 

[allanfinnie]

Yes

I think there are several buses on match days , leaving and returning at short intervals ,I doubt there is a time table .

[Judio1999]

This makes no sense whatsover

Oxford United's EFL Sky Bet League One fixture against Reading at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday 8 September has been postponed.

The fixture has been moved due to Reading's progression to Round Three of the Carabao Cup which is being played on Tues Sep 15th

 

[Guildford Bee]

Feck that…
