  • New Record 12/11/06 v Tottenham 24,110 (Royals won 3-1)
  • Great stadium and conference centre but appalling infrastructure for one so new - no train (even though line available to use a few hundred yards away), dreadful roads/junctions and almost no parking - come on Reading Borough Council what were you thinking or were you just having a laugh as usual?
  • it may not be the best situated stadium in the world. but it is a great stadium
  • stadium expansion planning permission granted. will now be 38,000
  • A train station serving Green Park may also be built near the stadium.
  • Yes that's right. A train station to serve the stadium will be complete by December 2008.
