Walkabout has that terrace seating area and big screen thing upstairs too. Forgot about that.

May give Yates a try. Not been there for years

Walkabout with the big screen is a pretty good idea, normally dead in there at that time as well unless the football is on.

Dickens bar in the town centre is also good for sport if you prefer a more intimate setting

They do a great cider too - their own brand...

As others said if we can get a decent crowd and atmosphere it would be great.

Saturday night too so a good opportunity for some drinks

Bit out of town but G Casino on the Rose Kiln Lane is excellent for live sport

Does anyone have a previous purcashe history at Fulham or any spare tickets that is able to help out me and a friend with tickets in the putney stand next to our fans for the away leg? I'd be very thankful for any help

Silver Fox Thirsty Bear would of been my go to venue if we were on at Sunday lunchtime, pack it out and they'll have the sound on for sure


Was going to ask about this place. they show sky sport, but its the old Wynford arms building, for want of a better word does it cater for normal customers now?

Was in Walkabout for the Joshua Klitschko fight - was absolute mad. Mental scenes and great atmosphere.

This is true. I went to an old firm game there with Berkshire Rangers who had flags and everything on that upstairs terrace. Can't say about the atmosphere cos they got spanked lol

Anywhere in Newbury showing the game? Didn't want to chance it anywhere as Arsenal kick off at the same time on Sky Sports 1.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit I forgot about the Arsenal game.

Are we all sure the Walkabout will be showing the Reading game on the big screen? It's just the sort of things those c*nts would do - show the Arsenal game instead whilst we get relegated to a tiny screen with no sound.

Yep, it's listed on Walkabout's website. Besides if it's not on the big screen upstairs then we'll just get them to put it on the big screen upstairs.

I would definitely sling a full pint glass in anger at the screen if they choose to put 4rsenal on instead of the home town team in a much more important game.

Count me in with you on this. I will also throw my GF's white wine spritzer and nut the bar manager.
