Colin’s Surprise Day Out in The Royal’s box
09 May 2025
Colin, a lifelong Reading FC fan, celebrated his 40th birthday in true royal style. Thanks to his supporter Jon, who managed to pull a few strings and secure the Royal’s box at the Select Car Leasing Stadium for the match.
It was a surprise day out that Colin will never forget. Whisked away on Good Friday with no idea what was planned, he was over the moon when he arrived at the stadium. Watching the game from the luxury of the Royal’s Box was special enough—but the day got even better when he had the chance to meet former Reading player, Dave Kitson.
With plenty of food, drinks, and unbeatable views of the game, it was a birthday full of cheer.
The result on the pitch didn’t go Reading’s way, but Colin put it perfectly “The team lost, but I still had an amazing day.”
