Getting There

Madejski Stadium

The Madejski Stadium, a 24,200 capacity all-seater 'bowl' design, opened in August 1998 and is home to Reading Football Club and London Irish Rugby Club. Built to a total cost of £50m, the Stadium complex also houses a first class Conference Centre and four-star deluxe hotel. There has also been national and international recognition as the Stadium was chosen to host England under 21 football internationals, the Rugby Union 2001 European Shield Final and the Rugby League World Cup fixture between New Zealand and the Cook Islands in November 2000.

The Stadium is named after Reading Football Club Chairman Sir John Madejski OBE. Madejski Stadium is located less than a mile from Junction 11 of the M4, and has more than 2,000 parking spaces. Shuttle bus services from the town centre are also available to supporters. The A33 relief road gives a direct link from the motorway, but the roads in the area are very busy, and queuing can be expected exiting the M4 and then all the way to the Stadium. Car parking is extensive, but very popular and under extreme demand, so travelling by train to Reading Central and then by shuttle bus is recommended whenever possible.
