Went to the game at theirs in Nov 2014, we won 1 nil thanks a header from Vetokele during the brief decent spell we had under Bob Peeters in the first half of the season before the rot set in. We spent most of the game taking the piss out of a literal full kit Reading wanker of about 30 in the section next to the away end. Shirt, shorts, socks the lot.
Funnily enough Reading were managed by Nigel Adkins at the time, he'd be sacked by them the following month.
A rare away excursion for me as my youngest son lives in Reading. Doing my bit to keep him ingratiated with Charlton.
Is the new station by the stadium open now?
Yes, but it is quite a distance from the stadium & trains run every 30 minutes, the shuttle buses from outside Reading Station are probably just as quick.
Bought my ticket - went to Elm Park years ago (crap ground) - new (ish) ground I’ve not been to - looks a soulless out of town identikit stadium (fitting, given Reading is a dump)
Are you saying using the train to the station near the stadium is about as much use as a chocolate teapot ??
Usually plenty of buses to/from Reading station
The shuttle buses are pretty good but traffic can be slow from station and ground so allow a bit of time.

Don’t frighten me that almost ten years ago.
I drove through the night for that game and arrived in Newbury about breakfast time.
Really enjoyed that day and drove home following morning. F K W yes that was funny.

Golfie Jnr wanted to do an away trip in Feb & had been looking at Derby as he's never been to Pride Park.
However, Reading looks like its going to be much more important so thinking about going to this one instead.
Some questions if I may......
How much would it be on the Elizabeth line from Woolwich (no oysters or fee savers). The coach is £21 - is that the better option ? (no drinking planned & just want to get there & back as quickly as possible). I've driven to Reading on numerous occasions but after eye surgery prefer not to drive in the dark.

The Elizabeth line to Reading is about £30 return.

I'd expect this to get close to selling out, especially if our form happens to pick up

From what I read it seems impractical.
Leave no later than 14.00 and allow to get back for 18.00 and you'll be fine.
