A first trip to the Abbey Stadium since a 3-1 defeat in 2002- with a young Dave Kitson scoring against his future employers- it will come as a frustration to supporters who had hoped to make a weekend in the historic city.
As a result of this, the Royals' EFL Trophy tie against Exeter City has also been rearranged.
🏆 A new date has been set for our EFL Trophy trip to Exeter City, due to a clash with our televised league game against Cambridge.
