How do I get to Madejski Stadium?

Parking is a bit of an issue at the stadium itself (not a lot of space) however a racetrack was recently taken down near the stadium, and you can park there for the game, only 5-10 minutes’ walk away. It does cost £8 (as with the Madejski itself) which is a bit steep. There are also business units nearby, and some of them offer parking for around a fiver.

For the non-drivers (or drinkers), the Football Special bus goes from the train station to the stadium: £3.50 single or £4.00 return. You don’t get any change, so try to have plenty loose coins to pay for the trip! £2.00 or £2.50 return for kids.

For away fans, the club recommends parking at Foster Wheeler in Shinfield Park. Parking here is free! Yes free! There is also a shuttle bus than runs from the car park £4 for an adult return ticket and £2.50 for a child. Not bad at all. There is parking at the ground but that will cost you £8 for the day.

These same rates are on the shuttle bus that runs from the Park and Ride area at the Station. You will want to talk the bus rather than walk, as the Madejski is around 3 miles away from the station.
