Snowflake Royal PA system is fine isn’t it? I've never had a problem understanding it, and I wouldn’t say I have great hearing.
I imagine the experience is not uniform across all stands and indeed all areas of a stand.
In the lower west near the away end the PA system is loud (too loud) but not clear.

Brogue hope we get a match day program back
Maybe a digital version? - Read on your phone/tablet.
If you want to print it yourself you can.

Will remove a big chunk of the costs in terms of printing and selling.

Would actually like the club to show some respect and read out the team and subs for the opponents rather than just ignore them like they're not really there.

Yeah, pisses me off as well.

They do it, but about 20 minutes before the game when no one is there

It's actually informative for the home fans too, knowing who the opponents are.
Appreciate they may continue to read them out a bit faster than they do the home team where they leave room for a cheer or applause.

Maybe they could acknowledge former Royals at this time, you never know it might get in their heads a bit too and we may be gifted with an Ady Williams style own goal.

Try looking up at the scoreboard during the game. The team lists are up there for three quarters of the match.

Another potential prize draw for Season Ticket Holders - winner gets to read the team sheets out. Could be some interesting pronunciation going on!

Cruzcampo coming to the Select Car Leasing Stadium as Heineken Partnership expands

Reading Football Club is delighted to announce that Cruzcampo, the iconic Spanish lager, will soon be available to fans at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, as part of an extended partnership with our official pouring rights partner, Heineken UK.

The addition of Cruzcampo adds another exciting choice for Royals supporters on matchdays.

To support this expanded offering and further improve the matchday experience, development has already begun to convert the former East Stand ticket office into a dedicated bar space ahead of the start of the competitive season. This new facility will serve the Fanzone area, allowing for faster service times and greater capacity, helping to reduce queues and create a more enjoyable atmosphere for all fans.

The clubs Head of Commercial, Tim Kilpatrick said:

“We’re proud to be working closely with Heineken to bring Cruzcampo to the Select Car Leasing Stadium. We know how important those pre-match moments are—meeting with friends, grabbing a drink, soaking in the atmosphere. We’re proactively trying to ensure the matchday experience is better, faster, and more enjoyable for every supporter who walks through our gates, while continuing to build something our fans feel truly part of.

Yeah, seems like an absolute no-brainer.
