The afterglow from Reading’s magnificent victory at Anfield lasted precisely three days. Following the glorious 2-1 victory over Liverpool in Wednesday night’s FA Cup third round replay, Reading was pulled firmly back down to Earth by the Championship’s form side Nottingham Forest. The 2-1 victory for the home side left the Royals feeling empty at not being able to capitalise further on their FA Cup exploits. However Forest will readily admit that they owe their victory in no small part to their goalkeeper, Lee Camp, who put in an inspired display.
Bathed in glorious August sunshine the Madejski Stadium welcomed a brand new season. Reading’s opening fixture saw them pitted against Nottingham Forest, whom they also opened against last season, although that match was at the City Ground. However, for the second season in a row, Reading opened their season with a scoreless draw.
The new football season starts tomorrow at the Madstad when a new-look Reading take on Billy Davies' Nottingham Forest. As with all games this season, we bring you a sneak preview of events on and off the pitch, including the return of an old favourite.
One of most anticipated events of the close season - the release of the new season fixture list! Reading were handed a home start to the 2009/2010 Coca Cola Championship season against Nottingham Forest.
