Away tickets: Prices were originally announced as £15 for Adults, and £10 for concessions - however Leyton Orient have changed their mind and reduced tickets to a more reasonable price of £12 for adults and £6 for concessions.
Away fans get part of the all-seated Main Stand, and there's no need to worry about not getting a seat for this game since the allocation will be near 1,500.
Travel, pubs, food  For drinking the nearest pub is the Coach & Horses which is half a mile from Leyton Station if you turn right and walk for about half a mile. The pub is walking distance from the ground.
These directions are from the Football Ground Guide.
At the bottom of the flyover where the roads merge, move into the left-hand lane and turn left at the roundabout on to the A104. After about 1 mile at the next roundabout take the right exit - still the A104 (a landmark here is the quaintly-decorated Lamb's Cafe). Half a mile further on, turn left into Leyton Green Road (signposted to Leyton and Stratford), and left again into a short slip-road past the bus garage entrance and left into Leyton High Road - you'll see the Leyton Leisure Lagoon opposite as you wait to make the turn. Continue until you see the floodlights and then find a side turning to park in the back-streets. Street Parking. For a map showing the location of the ground and the surrounding area click here.
The nearest tube station is Leyton (about a 1/4 of a mile away) which is on the Central Line.
Team news Reading - from: Whitehead, Newman, Robinson, Viveash, Hunter, Caskey, Parkinson, Hodges, Igoe, McIntyre Smith, Butler, Henderson, Rougier, Scott, Polston.
