Reading Football Club have confirmed a formal consultation has begun with stadium infrastructure specialists, Landways.

The process will see the London based organisation use digital technology infrastructure to bring to life the club’s vision of delivering a best-in-class facility to Reading.

The provisions will enable the club to offer an optimum fan engagement experience for stadium visitors with the intention of making the Select Car Leasing Stadium one of the most technically advanced facilities in the country.

The appointment will cast particular focus on improving stadium-wide network connectivity, the public address and music entertainment system, and enhanced security, with other elements set to be derived from an extensive review of the stadium’s digital infrastructure.

Speaking of the consultation, Club Chairman Rob Couhig commented, ‘The experience of our supporters at the stadium on both matchdays and non-matchdays is one of my highest priorities, and I am delighted to bring Landways on board to help shape how we can make our home the best it possibly can be.

Having worked with Landways in the past, I have seen first hand the expertise and insight they can bring to the table, and I am excited to see what we can do together.’

Chris Smedley, Chief Executive, Landways “We are delighted to have the opportunity to work again with Rob and his team on this new chapter at Reading FC. Delivering high-performance infrastructure and great technology systems is only part of the story — it’s about building trusted, long-term partnerships that create memorable experiences and long-term value. With Rob’s clear vision for the club, this is set to be an exciting journey.”

The work will commence with immediate effect, with the club providing an update once the consultation process has completed.
