Brentford is famous for having a pub on every corner of the ground. So the best bet is just to turn up at the ground and then dive into whichever pub takes your fancy! All of them are supposed to be decent enough - arrive early and it could be quite a unique pub crawl without even moving away from the ground. Food in the ground isn't anything special, but there's plenty of takeaways not too far from Griffin Park.

Reading fans are being advised that all the pubs around Griffin Park will close at 2pm tomorrow on police advice. The early closures suggest it might be worth getting to Brentford a bit earlier, and then getting into the ground just after 2pm to soak up a bit of atmosphere. The New Inn and Princess Royal pubs have been designated as away fan pubs for the day and are sure to be filled with Reading fans getting ready for the final push towards automatic promotion.

By Car:
Leave Reading towards London on the M4 and get off at Junction 2 to get onto the A4. You can't miss the ground. For parking it's best to get there early and there's limited street parking available.

By Train:
Brentford station is just a couple of minutes walk from the ground - so it's a good choice to travel by train.

Well this is it... the whole season rests on this one fixture. The team that wins gets automatic promotion, while a draw will be good enough for the Royals. The introduction of Igoe and Butler at half time on Saturday turned the game around. Expect Rougier to be relegated to the bench and one of Igoe or Butler to get a start. Meanwhile, Mackie will be out of action after picking up a serious ankle injury. Williams should step into the side. A pairing of either Forster and Butler or Forster and Cureton seems likely with the player missing out ready on the bench.

Reading - from: Whitehead, Murty, Williams, Viveash, Shorey, Watson, Parkinson, Hughes, Harper, Salako, Henderson, Forster, Butler, Cureton, Rougier, Talia, Savage.

Brentford - from: Smith, Anderson, Dobson, Ingimarsson, Powell, Theobald, Hunt, Sidwell, Evans, Rowlands, Boxall, Burgess, Owusu, McCammon, Gottskalksson, O'Connor.
