This match is all ticket for Reading fans.
Reading have gone back to Aston Villa a number of times to increase the allocation for Wednesday night, and as a result it should be the biggest away following for the Royals for the season. There's expected to be 4,500 Reading fans inside Villa Park.

By Car:
Get off the M6 at junction 6, and follow the A38(M) taking the first exit off this road. Turn right into Victoria road and then right again into Bevington Road. Parking is signposted all around this area - follow the signs to park in nearby schools, etc. Limited street parking is available.

By Rail:
Get a mainline train to Birmingham New Street, and then a local train to Aston or Witton. The Witton station is closer but not all trains call there - both stations are walking distance from the ground, so just follow the crowd!
Check train availability for the journey home as evening services after full time are a bit dodgy!

If catching the bus from the city centre then take the number 7 which goes closest to the ground.

Food and Beer:
The best bet is to eat and drink in town before the match. There's plenty of food and beer places, but a lot of pubs might be selective when it comes to letting in colour up away fans. The Harriers is a away fan friendly pub near the ground on The Broadway. Witton Road features some good indians for decent grub before or after the game. There's also some take aways surrounding the ground on on Aston Lane and Manor Road.
