Reading FC - Division Table & Stats

The Race For Automatic Promotion, 2001/2002 Season
Reading, Brighton, Brentford, Stoke and Huddersfield contend for the top two spots.

Reading faced a dramatic showdown with Brentford at Griffin Park on the final day of the season. The game decided who got automatic promotion and joined Brighton in Division One next season. Brighton were confirmed as Division Two champions for this season the week before, and second place was a straight fight between Reading and Brentford. A single point seperated the two sides, meaning whoever won the match on Saturday 20th April would earn automatic promotion. A draw will be good enough for the Royals to maintain second place above the Bees.
And that's exactly what happened.
Reading's 1-1 draw at Brentford sealed second place in the table for the Royals - and promotion to Division One!
