To celebrate the start of the new season, 100 season ticket holders will receive a free bottle of champagne courtesy of our Club sponsors Waitrose!

A random draw of all adult season ticket holders will produce 100 lucky winners, who will receive a letter from Waitrose inviting them to collect a bottle of Waitrose Brut NV  from the Waitrose Reading branch in Oxford Road.

The names of the winning fans will be printed in the matchday programme for this weekend's game with Plymouth Argyle. The names will also be displayed on the video screen and here on readingfc.co.uk, with letters being sent out to the winners next week.

This ideal apéritif is round and fruity with a lovely toastiness. Made by the talented Piper & Charles Heidsieck team especially for Waitrose, it is a Pinot-dominated blend with a dash of Chardonnay to add some zing to this otherwise smooth and ripe champagne.

Reading FC Commercial Director Pat Coyne said, "This is a very generous offer from Waitrose and I am sure the winning fans will be very pleased to celebrate the new season with a free bottle of champagne!

"Waitrose are very keen to engage with our supporters and this is just the first of many offers that they will be making available over the course of the season."
