The ground is in a shite location but you’ve got a decent amount of pubs within a walking distance of the train station. They’ve just opened a Brewdog on Castle Street about 10 minutes walk, just down from Zero Degrees which brews their own stuff on site. The Wetherspoons is The Hope Tap on Friar Street (out the station, up to the crossroads and turn right), and they’ve got an O’Neills and Walkabout up the other end of Friar Street. The bus takes about 10 minutes to the ground, but coming back into town can be a nightmare, youll be lucky to get back into town by 5.45.

The other place I've heard about is The Three Guineas which is actually at the station - presumably away friendly. The original ZeroDegrees is in Bristol - I know all about them :)

Me. Leaving from Paddington about 12pm. What’s the best way to get from Reading station to the Madejski?


Piece of piss mate, loads of quick trains. Easy place to get to, even before Crossrail.

It’s a long way mate.
They used to have a fair few buses running near the station.
Plenty of pubs outside station and that area.
The ground is next to the M4.

Cheers fella. Might bus it on the way there and walk to the station on the way back. Easy to get back to London from so I’m not in any massive hurry after the game.

5 minutes if that from station rammed with bars and pubs.
Not that easy to get in in groups. Mind you Swindon classed as a bit of a derby and Police all over. Reading are no bother like.

If you know your Tolkien - the dwarves meeting with Beorn, as advised by Gandalf :)
 
Leaving Winchester at 1030 something. I should arrive in Reading just after 1100 and meet a few of the lads as they arrive. Spoons breakfast then a little crawl. We went to the Fisherman's Cottage a few years ago, which was a lovely little pub by the river. As it was out of the way, there were not any other fans in. They did a brilliant fish and chip lunch.
