Reading have announced that friendlies with Queens Park Rangers and Swansea City will round-off this summer's pre-season.
Already announcing games against Sutton United and Bristol City, both of which are away and the trip to Gander Green Lane the only one open to fans, both new fixtures will be in Berkshire.
2️⃣ pre-season friendlies have been added to our schedule...

🆚 @QPR (Bearwood Park, behind closed doors), Tue 25 July, 1pm
🆚 @SwansOfficial (Select Car Leasing Stadium), Sat 29 July, 3pm
Full info 👇
Gareth Ainsworth's QPR, who narrowly avoided relegation ahead of Reading, visit Bearwood for a game behind-closed-doors on Tuesday, July 25.
However, four days later the Swans will be the opponents at the SCL Stadium and open to supporters.
Usually a big-name team to start off the new season, with the likes of Chelsea, Brighton and Crystal Palace turning up in recent years, Swansea lost in RG2 last season.
Managerial uncertainly hangs over both clubs, with Reading yet to hire a Paul Ince replacement and Russell Martin set to depart South Wales for the South Coast and Southampton.
Tickets for the match, on Saturday, July 29, will be released in due course.
