The Experience
Deepdale has undergone massive change in the past few years with three large stands being built. There is some stunning looking floodlights in the corners of the stands as well! The only downside id the old pavilion the runs aside one side of the pitch. Until money can be found it will remain here.
Also the Football Museum is a must. It is located in the corner of the side stand and the away stand and when I went this season and entry was free. It is very interesting and plenty of things to do and see. You can view the Simod Cup that Reading won!
