We can today confirm that our Carabao Cup first round tie against Gillingham is scheduled for an 8pm kick-off on Tuesday 8th August at Madejski Stadium.

Before the 46 league games were scheduled, we were drawn against the Kent outfit in the first round of this year’s competition as the balls were drawn from the hat in Thailand

And now we can confirm the date and time of the match as we put a place in the second round in our crosshairs.
