Reading - Parking

[amexee]

I went to reading when we scored straight after the kick off, after about 13 seconds, a few years ago now.

That day, I got to Reading and headed to the Majeski and then just drove around till I spotted a space.

In an attempt at being more organised this year, I am hoping for some advice as to where is good for parking!

If you turn left at the motorway junction and take the next left. You can park near The Fountain pub, have a few beers then wander across to the Mad Stad. Less than a mile.

We're hoping to park in the greyhound stadium. Think it's £8 per car but it's only a 5 minute walk and there's 1000 spaces.

I remember going to that game. It was the first game of the new season and really hot.
Maheta Molango scored after 2 or 3 minutes and after that it was pretty awful.

The one thing that sticks in my mind is the awful piped music they played when Reading had a corner or scored. It was embarrassingly dreadful and very sad.
Every time they played it, we all started singing along with it and they'd turn it off.

We did exactly the same.

Reading have always struck me as the sort of club that would play goal music

 

[Daffy Duck]

They have to play the music because their fans don't make any noise.

Gonna give the one a go that's described "best for away supporters" on the reading website. Free parking £4 return on the bus

If you are coming off the M4 there is a car park with park and ride near by which should be signposted. Alternatively there is a large car park at the greyhound stadium if you follow signs towards town centre and it should be on the left at a large roundabout. I will be using this one but will be coming south from near Thame.

According to the reading website, there is a £1 surcharge on all buses, as it's boxing day....am thinking of parking in the Costco car park...
This will be my first visit to Reading is there much to do around the ground?

Brought a new 3 series bmw for xmas and my dads disabled badge has came today so we're driving up in style and parking right at the entrance of the ground

The old Berkshire County Council "Shire Hall". Now called Shinfield Park. £4 return.

In my experience ... a handy way of getting to and from the ground.

I think you are talking shit (again)

If you have a Costco card, there is a huge car park right next to the stadium.

As Costco is closed, they are using it as a footy car park -£8 per car. Saw this on readings site

In a word. NO.

Either the Fountain the other side of the motorway or head into town (walkable) is what we've done in the past. Think it'll be the Fountain this time. Any other takers?

Well i did offer a fellow brighton fan a free lift in the travel section but she and her son are visiting friends so going in their own car.

No need to be jealous.

I was there that day, it was the first game of the season (or there abouts) and it was ROASTING! I seem to remember drinking in a Holiday Inn or something similar close by. Was it Molango that got that goal? Anyway i'm just about to leave for Reading now so see you all there!
