Tuesday night marks the return of FA Cup football to Madejski Stadium – the first time we’ve hosted a game in this competition since meeting Crystal Palace in the quarter-final, almost two years ago.
Reading vs Stevenage
Tuesday 16th January 2018, 8pm
Madejski Stadium
Emirates FA Cup, third round replay
Our replay against Stevenage – who we drew 0-0 with at Broadhall Way – will see the winners earn a visit to either Carlisle or Sheffield Wednesday, depending on who wins their replay.
And it’s more affordable football at the Madejski – just £10 for Adult tickets, with concessions available too. All supporters - including Season Ticket holders - will need to book before 5pm on matchday to take advantage of advance prices.
So come along and get behind the boys, and let’s begin a cup run!
