150 Years: A Royal Review

TTE presents a special, extended fanzine covering the entirety of Reading FC’s history.

We knew we had to do something special for Reading Football Club’s 150th birthday because you only turn 150 once. The 72-page book 150 Years: A Royal Review covers every facet of the club that we all know and like, including history, recollections, viewpoints, statistics, and more.

It is available here in PDF format.

You can view the contents page below, which includes section titles in bold and the author in italics, for a summary of what is covered. I sincerely appreciate your contributions to our project and your reading.
