Thanks to the tickets we have helped sell under Reading FC’s ticketing scheme, our football teams were invited to a ‘Meet the Players’ evening at the Madejski Stadium on Tuesday.

The evening included a Q&A with most of the First Team (and the Manager Jose Gomes), a visit to the home dressing room, the pitchside dugouts, and meetings with Kingsley and Queensley. The children were also all given free tickets to Reading’s U23s semi-final against Bayern Munich on Monday, and a RFC Women’s game.

It was a unique and fascinating evening.
