Part of the M4 is closed tonight, potentially impacting Reading and Blackburn Rovers fans coming away from the match.
The Select Car Leasing Stadium is off Junction 11 of the M4 motorway, however between 8pm today and 6am tomorrow it will be closed eastbound between Reading and Winnersh due to planned roadworks.
Up to 24,000 can descend on the stadium tonight, although based off of previous attendances, anything from 9,000-13,000 will be in Berkshire for the match.
Some planned full roadwork closures in the region tonight:

Google Maps currently recommends Rovers fans drive on the M4 coming down, however it is worth noting that this exact route will not be possible returning after the match due to this closure.
Be sure to plan this into your journey.
