Reading won their last game at Watford but have been in some bad form winning one in their last six.

Its going to be a great away day for the whites and we will win 2-1.

Yes it is now a young offenders institute which I walk past everyday - I don't think you can go inside (well unless you have committed a crime and are between the ages of 13 - 19) but it is only 2 mins walk from the station.

basically you can only visit either if you have a friend/relative inside - I am not committing a crime so you can visit Reading prison Bruce but you can look at it from the outside.

I would love to do some of the London grounds but never have enough people to cover my fuel cost :( to expensive to do alone.

Anyway.. I think we will win this one. 2-1 to the whites. Ngog and Lee for us and Guthrie for them 8).

I was planning on parking just the other side of the A33 (to the stadium). Seems to be a residential area near a St Paul's Church) that's about 25-30 mins walk to the ground, according to Google maps. Any reason why this might be foolish in your opinion?

Cos you'll end up walking for an hour?

Why not check out the bus routes and park near one of the stops

Looking forward to Saturday... will be my first game of this season and my first since our 1-0 win at the Reebok against Brighton (the one where Ashley Barnes went mental and tripped the ref after the match had finished! Cracking goal by Alonso though).

It's going to be nice to be able to walk down to the Madejski to see my team for a change.

Ha.

Yes, it's a shithole.

Nah, when Google maps measure how long it takes to walk, they time an old lady on a zimmer-frame with her shopping. If it says 25mins, it'll be half a mile away!

It's alright... I've been here since 2008 and quite like it. I'd say Reading lacks a bit of character, but it's nice enough in the right places.

BWFC twitter:

Dougie Freedman has confirmed Adam Bogdan is fit ahead of the weekend's game @ReadingFC, but Andrew Lonergan will start in goal.

Jermaine Beckford also faces a spell on the sidelines with a muscle strain and will definitely miss the @ReadingFC game.
