EXCITEMENT will reach fever pitch for Reading football fans in West Berkshire today (Monday) as the Royals take on Swansea City in the nPower Championship Play-off Final at Wembley at 3pm.

Two coach loads of supporters from Newbury and Thatcham will join 45 club coaches and thousands of other fans in making the trip up the M4 to see if the boys in blue and white can make it back to the Barclays Premier League after a three-year exile.

More than 40,000 Royals fans are expected at Wembley today, while pubs across West Berkshire are also gearing up for a busy day, with hundreds of punters set to cheer on the team at their local pub.
