Reading fans offered the chance to see a former Royal in action for free
Reading FC’s 150th anniversary fixture with Luton Town has been postponed at the weekend after a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.
The news has left Royals fans wondering what to do on a rare match-free Saturday.
Thankfully, the areas non-league club, Reading City have come to the rescue with the generous offer of free entry to any Reading season ticket holders or anyone who had bought a ticket to the match.
A social media post from the Cityzens said: “Following the sad news that Reading’s 150th anniversary celebratory game against Luton has been postponed due to several Covid-19 cases within the Royals camp, we’re offering all Reading season ticket holders and anyone who purchased a matchday ticket for Reading v Luton free entry to the Rivermoor this Saturday.”
