Reading forum already has the pre match preview up. Taken from it...
"Squad wise the main threat is posed by Alfie May (16 in 27 league games), midfielder Corey Taylor is the next to watch with 8 goals, then there's the ex-Reading threats posed by Terrell Thomas, Michael Hector and Tennai Watson. Also Ben Watson is at Charlton now and though he hasn't been involved this season he will certainly be someone to watch if the new management decide to go for "all change". The Addicks brought in 6 players in January; Freddie Ladapo, Conor McGrandles, Macaulay Gillesphey, Conor Coventry, Ramarni Edmonds-Green, Lewis Ward & Kayne Ramsay while former Reading keeper, Sam Walker, moved onto Bradford so it will be interesting to see what happens to them now Michael Appleton's moved on."
Also says we brought in 6 players (it's actually 9) and lists McGrandles as one of them.
Starting to see the fans getting behind NJ and the team - and history tells us if we are getting out of this, then we need the wave of Charlton magic behind us. This is a huge positive.
Doesn’t look like an abundance of places to drink. Where’s everyone going pre-match?
Spoons 5 minutes from station.
I am going to be in the Nags Head in Russell Street. They run a bus to the ground and back for a few quid (last time i went it was £2) the 2-0 win for us game. It’s a 5 minutes walk from Reading West Station. Best selection of real ales and cider around.

Currently at work which is 10 miles from Reading and all their fans here are worried about us despite their decent run and great result last night. They have nothing to worry about new manager or not.
Watched the highlights of Stevenage vs Reading First thought- that's a fluky lucky goal from a long throw Second thought- that's just the kind of goal we concede
If you haven’t been there before and are travelling by train there are frequent buses from the station to the ground and back again after the game. Buy a return ticket. You will find the the buses down the steps/ramp by turning right out of the station.

That sounds really good!
Yep, we did the Nag's head. Perfect!
Are they ok with away fans? Do I need to put on a Reading accent to get in?!

Fair enough analysis, I've personally marked down Pavel Pogrebnyak as the main danger man for them

Yeah the Nags is an excellent pub. I've watched England lose many times down there. It used to be a proper home pub when Reading were at Elm park. Don't know what it's like on match now.
The Lizzie line is great, but if you want to get here quickly jump off at Paddington and get on a direct train to Reading. You'll save a dull slog though west London and East Berkshire.
I'll be in the home end Saturday. I'll be looking on jealously, as you boys cheer on goal after goal whilst i sit on my hands.
This will be my third Reading v Charlton game this season.
I left the away end at the Bristol St Motors game with my bike helmet under my arm wearing a bright yellow jacket.
Steward looks me up and down and says "Did you cycle all the way here?

Bad enough with hashtag sea of red. When will we learn?!

Success!
