Noel hoping Burns will be ok. Says Kelvin E has agreed to sign but needs to put pen to paper. Knibbs subject of Championship interest but missed today through injury, as did Yiadom. #readingfc
Initial Lincoln City away allocation sold out 🙌💙 We have secured a further 330 tickets for the showdown at the LNER Stadium, don't miss out on the season opener 👇

"I’m pretty easy going, Noel is, and Joe is, but we all prescribe to the same principle, when you tell me a deal is done, it is done." #readingfc readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25330657.…

Had a nice trip to Bearwood today to sit down with Rob Couhig about his latest return. Spoke all things Spurs, transfer window and stadium developments. The aforementioned new investor was at the game on the weekend too. Plenty to come this evening and tomorrow #readingfc
Royals, The Big Three have been working very hard and are perfect harmony with each other. I have a great feeling about today and an even better feeling about what the rest of the week will bring. FOOTBALL FOR THE PEOPLE. #uptheding #readingfc @ReadingFC @RCouhig
"We have made it clear to Harv that if a bid comes in that is substantial to take him away, fair enough. If not, he won’t be going." A bit on Fin Burns and Andy Yiadom in there too #readingfc readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25326860.…
Hunt: "We have young, enthusiastic players and younger ones coming through, but we need help." #readingfc readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25326847.…
Huge credit to @joe_jacobson and the @ReadingFC staff today. Today (even preseason) felt like a proper football experience. Great energy, noise at SCL. Royals TV back to being a proper football viewing experience, @bluntphil is brilliant listen. Big thank you to @SpursOfficial
Hard to know what to take from these kinds of games but impressed with Burns (for all of 20 mins) and Ashqar Ahmed in the second half in particular,. Few good saves from both goalkeepers too. Great to have Elliott back out there. #readingfc readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25326774.…
FT 0-2. Gave it a go second half and was defensively strong in the first half. A good run-out. Largest home crowd since February 2022 I believe #readingfc
90' Ahmed forces Vicario into a full-stretch save #readingfc
85' Big save Stevens as Ryan chests the ball into the path of the Spurs attacker, who has his effort blocked by the keeper #readingfc
82' Good spell for the Royals in the last five minutes or so. Testing Vicario in the net a handful of times and pressing high #readingfc
76' Spencer curls high and wide from the edge of the box #readingfc
75' Pereira off for Stevens. Stickland now with the captain's armband #readingfc
73' Pair of big tackles from Ahmed cheered as if #readingfc had scored
