Reading confirm plans for exciting season ticket holder open day at Bearwood
Reading have confirmed plans for the highly-anticipated season ticket holders open day at Bearwood this summer. With new owner Rob Couhig at the helm, season ticket holders were encouraged to purchase or renew early with the offer a trip to Bearwood for anyone who did so before June 6. Advertisement 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." Advertisement Emails will be sent out accordingly to those eligible, with the date coming in three weeks time. Fixtures for the new season are announced on Wednesday, June 26 and the season gets underway on the first weekend of August.

‘Looks like a Wetherspoons plate' slam bemused Reading fans as new football kit is unveiled
FOOTIE fans say their team's new home shirt is driving them pottery — because it looks like a Wetherspoon pub plate. League One club Reading unveiled its kit for the 2025/26 season to the bemusement of some supporters yesterday. 3 3 The traditional blue hoops with a white background on the jersey now have a swirly pattern. It is meant to resemble a biscuit tin in a nod to the Berkshire town's rich trade in the snacks. The club was previously nicknamed The Biscuitmen before becoming known as The Royals. But some smart cookies online say it looks more like the crockery from the popular pub chain. The price takes the biscuit as well, with the adults kit costing £103 altogether — £58 for the top, £30 for shorts and £15 for socks. For children, it is £48, £25, and £15 respectively — a total of £88. But supporters of the club, founded in 1871, seemed to be more concerned about the look of the shirts — modelled on Instagram by new signing Paudie O'Connor and by supporters in a club video. One fan online quipped: 'Looks like a Wetherspoons plate.' Another agreed: 'Wetherspoons plate kit.' A third said: 'We don't want to look like biscuits tins…not my cup of tea.' Royals fan Matt Wilkinson commented: 'Let's hope we can do our talking on the pitch in this kit — rather than being mocked off of it for looking like a dog's dinner — served on a Spoons' plate.' One football fan added: 'Looks like my nan's wallpaper in the 70s.' Others said the jersey resembled a festive sweater, with one quipping: 'What in the Christmas kit is this?' But in a jokey reference to classier tablewear collections, Tom argued: 'If some trendy team like Venezia or Versailles came out with this, it would be lauded as one of the best shirts of the season. I think it's spectacular!'
