About Reading

Reading were formed in late 1871 after a meeting at the Bridge Street Rooms, led by Joseph Edward Sydenham, and played their first match in February 1872 against Reading School. The club spent years as amateurs on several local grounds, turned professional in 1895, moved to Elm Park in 1896 and joined the Football League's new Third Division in 1920.

Known as the Biscuitmen until 1976, when they became the Royals, Reading left Elm Park in 1998 for the Madejski Stadium, now the Select Car Leasing Stadium. They won the Championship in 2005-06 with a record 106 points and finished eighth in their first Premier League season. Oxford United and Swindon Town are their main local rivals.

Founded: 1871
Ground: Select Car Leasing Stadium
Capacity: 24,161
Nickname: The Royals
