Madejski Stadium

Opened: 1998
Capacity: 24,161

ABOUT

Formed: 1871
Admitted to Football League: 1920
Reading have waited longer than most for their moment in the sun and in 2006 they ended a 135-year wait to play in the English top flight. The club was founded on Christmas Day 1871 after a meeting organised by Joseph Edward Sydenham, who would become the club's first Honorary Secretary. They were founder members of the Southern League in 1894 and moved to Elm Park two years later; it was their home until they switched to the Madejski Stadium in 1998. Read more
