Motorway will be clear. Probably more of s problem getting down from the Valleys to get on the M4
Met Office have Reading FC as -1 c at 8.00pm tomorrow night. We've got about 7 inches of snow here in the Midlands. Very little is moving by us. Not looking good.

Might be a close call depending on state of car parks, bus routes and paths around the stadium. Only vehicles moving by us right now are 4wd. Wouldn't mind but I've already got a ticket😐
Apparently nothing in Newbury or Guildford, so I'd guess Reading is clear
Ice rather than snow could be the issue. Good luck to all travelling.Quote:

Last couple of weeks have been a nightmare. On route to our game two weeks ago the M4 was closed at junction 13 so we ended up going home as we would not have got there until well after kick off. So 100 mile round trip for nothing. Then en route to the Barnsley game three days later my missus rang me to say my dad had been rushed to hospital. He had a stroke so we turned around and went straight to hospital. He is recovering but very down at the moment.
We live in Andoversford and have had seven inches of snow and its still snowing so may miss the game tomorrow night. Feeling grumpy.
Five miles from the Mad Stad and had a heavy snow shower for a couple of hours that has just stopped. Already turning to slush. Forecast for tomorrow is a bit more snow at lunchtime. As previously said freezing temps forecast for later tomorrow so risk will be the state of the surrounding area rather than the pitch.
ps - Hope your Dad makes a strong recovery Pearcey!

No mentions of weather problems on this Reading MB. Not sure if it’s thier main one, doesn’t seem very busy. Decent pre match report though -

Sorry to hear about your dad, Pearcey. I hope he gets better soon and can enjoy Christmas with family and friends.
Hope your dad makes a full recovery.Quote:
