Thanks guys 💙
Our pitch doesn’t prepare itself… This #GroundsWeek, we’re shining a light on the team behind the scenes who take huge pride in every blade of grass at the Select Car Leasing Stadium and Bearwood Park. Early mornings, long days, and a relentless commitment to standards 👏 Thank you for everything you do 💙 📺 - youtu.be/cFv8wir5MTg

We’ve had great results on our match pitch over the last few months using @ProSportsGrpLtd products. Thick healthy sword with a surface that plays really well. 🌱🌱

Thanks, Hunty, for everything you’ve done for the club. Even through the tough times, you always made the effort to check in on everyone. Those staff games you organised really helped keep morale high among the academy and ground staff. Wishing you all the best #readingfc

What a fantastic day Bearwood. It was a privilege to speak to so many fans about our facilities. Great work by the lads getting things in place and the site looking good over the last 10 days. Been tough going in the heat. #readingfc
