F1 bus return is now £5.50. Off-peak day return from Reading Main to Reading Green Park is £3.10.

14:37 gets you to Green Park for 14:44. It's 14 minutes walk to the Megastore from the station. Or you can play it safe and get the 14:07.
There's a train at 17:14, which depending on stoppage time, might be doable, and you're back in Reading before half-five.

I'd always thought that they are doing timekeeping this way, it turns out it was worth a player walking slowly off the pitch, feigning injury, arguing about getting sent off and extending goal celebrations if they were only adding a nominal amount.

Bloody robbery.
Would suggest walking from Mereoak if you can. You can still park there without charge. Been doing it for 2 seasons now.
I do when the queues are too long for the buses.
I'm just wondering if they will use cameras or some system to charge you for parking.

Incidentally they did cut the service last season to 2 buses so many were late getting to games and massive queues were forming at Mereoak.

Makes even more sense for evening games when the Nags etc don't run buses. 19:25 train will have you outside the Megastore at 19:50. And there's return trains at 21:49, 22:32 and 22:56.

Without giving your plate to the bus driver or paying for the ticket on entry, i don't know how that can work?

Why is Andy Carroll on holiday?

No no, it’s fair enough, if anything we’ve had TOO much preparation this pre-season…

Just seen that and assuming that is a recent photo I.e. this week, can only assume he is injured. Certainly won't be involved.

Other option of course is that he has exercised a clause to leave the club, but probably injured.

There should be a pre game press conference today with Selles - so hopefully, we'll actually get a clear picture of who the hell is actually available to play this weekend. Total madness that we simply have no idea what the team will look like 2 days before the season starts.

It's Reading so of course he's going to be injured :roll:

Just a surprise it took him so long to be affected by the curse!

My sleuthing tells me it’s Mallorca but the girl who posted it also captioned “24 hours with AC”.

Make of that what you will.

Not seen the journos mention one but I’d assume there is
Earnshaw stating its been pushed to tomorrow and still no news on tax payment.

That could be there's something about to happen, why else would they push it back?
