The state-of-the-art facility has been open since 2019 but has never fully opened for supporters to visit before.
However, fans will now have the chance to have a two-hour tour of the home of the men and Academy side on Sunday, July 15.
"I think most fans knew we had something special here," Couhig told the club. "There was a little thought of what Rob was going to do with this facility, but I don't think those people understood me at all so I'm going to forgive them for now.
"We want them to come out and get the full breadth of being a true Reading football fan. This facility is important and we will plan some special things for the day. It will start early on go on for a long time. People will be invited out in two-hour shifts because we have so many season ticket holders."

Emails will be sent out accordingly to those eligible, with the date coming in three weeks time.

Andorra vs England: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today
The Thomas Tuchel era continues this afternoon as England face Andorra in a World Cup qualifier. Tuchel, who officially started work as Three Lions boss at the beginning of the year, has a perfect record after two games following comfortable wins over Albania and Latvia in the last international window. Advertisement CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ANDORRA VS ENGLAND LIVE! Those results mean England currently top Group K and will be out to potentially open up a nine-point gap with second-placed Albania in action against Serbia. Andorra, meanwhile, have made a terrible start to qualification. Losing narrowly at home to Latvia before conceding three in Tirana last time out and they sit bottom of the table with no goals scored and a minus four goal difference. It is the penultimate fixture of what has been a long season for many of the England players as they look to sign off with another victory. Date, kick-off time and venue Andorra vs England is scheduled for a 5pm BST kick-off today, Saturday, 7 June, 2025. Advertisement The match will take place at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona. Where to watch Andorra vs England TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on ITV. Coverage starts at 4.15pm BST on ITV1 ahead of a 5pm kick-off. Live stream: ITVX will offer a live stream service. Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport's live blog, with expert analysis from our reporter at the ground. Andorra vs England team news Given the importance of three points, Tuchel could very well go strong against Andorra to further boost England's World Cup qualification hopes before resting some key players in Tuesday's friendly against Senegal in Nottingham. Advertisement Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cole Palmer are in line to make their first England appearances under Tuchel whilst Trevoh Chalobah could make his senior international debut. However, Ollie Watkins has withdrawn from the squad through injury and Bukayo Saka may not be risked after a knock suffered at Arsenal that has limited his involvement in training. Harry Kane is expected to lead the line, winning cap number 106 in the process to move level with Sir Bobby Charlton and Frank Lampard in the all-time men's appearances list. Andorra's hopes of even scoring a goal have been dealt a massive blow with Albert Rosas – the nation's joint second-highest scorer of all time – is not in the squad. Back in the squad: Bukayo Saka (The FA via Getty Images) Andorra vs England prediction Similar to games against Albania and Latvia, Tuchel will know tougher tests awaits against Serbia later in qualification. That said, he will have a lot to answer for if the Three Lions fail to win, and in convincing fashion. Advertisement The gulf in class between both squads is vast, despite Tuchel leaving out a number of big names. All being well, England should win this comfortably, extending their perfect record under the German tactician. England to win, 3-0. Head to head (h2h) history and results England have won all six of their previous meetings with Andorra, and have conceded a grand total of zero goals in the process. The largest margin of victory was the 6-0 back in June 2009.

John Obi Mikel tells one Chelsea ace to 'have a look at himself' following Flamengo defeat
John Obi Mikel tells one Chelsea ace to 'have a look at himself' following Flamengo defeat John Obi Mikel has insisted Nicolas Jackson needs to 'have a look at himself' following Chelsea's defeat against Flamengo in the Club World Cup. The Blues suffered a damaging 3-1 defeat against their Brazilian counterparts despite leading 1-0 at half time through a Pedro Neto goal. Advertisement However, Chelsea fell apart in six calamitous second half minutes where they conceded twice, and Jackson was sent off for a horror challenge just four minutes after coming on as a substitute. Mikel offers Jackson words of advice It wasn't a good day for Jackson who was celebrating his 24th birthday and that red card was his second in his last five games. The 24-year-old will serve a one game ban, although FIFA could decide to extend it should they feel the situation warrants it. Jackson was sent off for the second time in his last five games. (Photo by Chris Lee/Chelsea FC) Jackson issued a lengthy apology on Instagram after the game, but he's now handed Liam Delap a huge opportunity to stake his claim as the number one striker going into next season. Advertisement The Senegal international is coming off the back of a difficult campaign where he managed just ten Premier League goals and questions have been asked about his future. Jackson has been linked with a shock move to Manchester United, and Mikel has urged the striker to 'have a look at himself.' 'Nicolas Jackson needs to have a look at himself and think where he wants his Chelsea career to go from here,' he told DAZN as cited on 'The manager has brought in a striker in Liam Delap, and now if the manager starts to doubt you, if he keeps making mistakes and letting his team-mates and the club down, then it is time for Delap to start the games.' Chelsea looking for a versatile forward Whilst question marks over Jackson's future are likely to increase following his sending off, the Blues are in the market for a versatile forward. Advertisement Chelsea have been linked with Hugo Ekitike, Mohammed Kudus and Joao Pedro, but are yet to make an official move for any of them.
