The park and ride scheme is very efficient which made getting in and out very easy. On the down side, the ground is pretty soulless with very little character and the atmosphere generated by the home fans was minimal. There was a small section to the right of the away stand that got involved with a bit of banter however... and a 2-0 win for us definitely helped in that respect!

The ground itself is then around a 5 minute walk away, meaning your exit is pretty swift too - a 5 minute walk back to your car, and 10 minutes later you're back on the M4 heading on your merry way. I really enjoyed our day out at Reading (I don't think I've ever celebrated a 0-0 draw so much... we were going through some bad times and were expecting a real thrashing) - the fans we met were really friendly, and the ground is pretty impressive, offering great views of the action, superb acoustics for singing and bloody good hot dogs too!
