You can park at the stadium but are directed to the rear of all the parking areas and it will tae you about 1 1/2 hours to get out ( made that mistake on my first visit there years ago) If you leave the M4 at J11 head towards the city centre passing stadium on the left, after passing Mc Donalds on your left at the next round about come back on yourself towards M4 and take 1st left into industrail estate and park in one of the many units that charge for match day parking, you will get out a far sight quicker and pointing in the right direction for home. :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird:

I've driven up most times we've played them in recent years. The club has a large (pay as you enter) car park and it is probably as good as it gets near the ground

People there are pretty good to be fair and I've never seen any issues other than (as GLASCOEDBLUE states) a long, long wait to get out!

Reading's car park is long rather than wide (I think it follows the railway line?) and they also have their training barn up there

The front of the car park (nearest the stadium) is for the use of members and VIP's, so the away support and non-members get directed to the top of the car park which means a slow get out!

On the whole though, it's the best bet for the game and patience is the key word! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

There used to be a very good park and ride just off the M4 too. You get out of the ground quickly as the buses have priority and it takes about ten minutes back to the car park.

As you come off the m4 onto the the A33 into reading there's a load of industrial estates on the right hand side u can park down, about 15 walk
