Reading FC handed QPR away trip to open 2017/18 Championship season

Reading will face the short trip to west London to face Queens Park Rangers on the opening day of the 2017/18 campaign.

Royals fans can now start planning their away ventures for the campaign after the complete fixture list was announced this morning with the trip to Loftus Road followed by tricky looking home fixtures against Fulham and Aston Villa.

Royals will travel to Bristol City on the ever popular Boxing Day fixture and host Birmingham City on New Year’s Day.
