There's three or four pubs within close walking distance of the ground that'll let in away fans. The best bet might be the Burton Stone which you'll probably drive past if coming by car. It's on the corner of Burton Stone Lane. Further down this road you'll find the Corner House which welcomes away fans. For food it's probably worth the 20 minutes walk from the ground to The Maltings which is famous for it's beer and also does food on match days - it's back near the River Ouse. If you're coming by train then walk out of the station along Station Road and you'll find the pub on the right hand side of the road just before the river.

The ground is a "traditional" third Division ground. So you're not going to get the best food inside either - although it's not bad considering. Outside the ground there's a chippie close by, and also an Indian for a meal after the match.

York City signed Dundee United centre-back Darren Patterson on Monday on a three month contract. Last season's player of the year Christian Fox has resumed training for York but it's too early for him to feature in a first team game.
Meanwhile Reading fans will be interested to see if Darren Caskey starts on the pitch or on the bench after coming on as substitute last weekend. If Caskey starts then Igoe could well be on the bench. Ricky Newman will be available for selection which leaves Pardew with a choice of who to play as the two full backs. Robinson and Gurney both had good games on Saturday so Pardew may leave Newman on the bench.

Reading - from: Whitehead, Gurney, Viveash, Mackie, Robinson, Igoe, Smith, Jones, Caskey, Parkinson, Cureton, Butler, Hodges, Rougier, Hunter, Newman, Gray.

York City - from: Fettis, Edmondson, Potter, Hocking, Sertori, Bower; Bullock, Agnew, McNiven, Iwelumo, Mathie, Jordan, Alcide, Hulme, Tarrant, Patterson.

York City's mid-week game against Darlington in the LDV trophy first round was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. However the weather has improved since then and York are confident the game will be going ahead. The prediction for the weekend in York is cloudy with showers so we might well get away with playing the game.

Reading returned to winning ways last weekend with a decent enough 3-0 home victory over Cambridge United. The victory was enough to make the two consecutive league defeats before that seem distant enough. Away from home Reading were unlucky to lose 1-2 at Walsall on the 4th of November, but beat Bury away 2-0 at the end of October. York have had a mixed run of run in the league - improving slightly after an unimpressive start to the season. Last week they beat Shrewsbury 2-1 in the league, but before that they lost 1-3 at Kidderminster.

Reading won their first round tie 4-0 against Grays Athletic at the Madejski Stadium. York managed to do a similar thing - winning their FA Cup Round One tie with ease away at non-league Radcliffe Boro (played at Bury if I remember rightly). York took a 4-0 lead within 28 minutes and ended up 4-1 winners. York may have found that game easy enough but Reading will be a different matter - we're at least a division and a half above them:

This is the first time the two sides have met in the FA Cup, but Reading have a good record against York City going back through history - The Royals winning 11 of our league meetings and York winning just the three.
Reading wins: 11
Draws: 6
York City wins: 3
