First Game

I was five, my dad took me to Elm Park to watch Reading Vs Exeter (We lost)

Best Game

Reading Vs Notts Forest to seal promotion to the Prem for the 2nd time. It meant more the 2nd time round as my son was slightly too young first time we went up. Southampton away a few weeks earlier was a close 2nd place.

Worst Game

Reading Vs Huddersfield Playoff final! poor game and then 3-1 up in the shootout only to lose! Closely followed by a thumping from Bristol Rovers 0-0 at halftime and lost the game 0-6!

I will have to be bias here, but my so many of my family memories are around Elm Park and The Madjeski Stadium. But after that its probably Anfield. The atmosphere was next level
