Play. Off.

The Royals failed today in their attempt to win automatic re-admission into the Premiership having battled superior opposition in the form of Birmingham. Reading will now face Burnley in the first round play-off. A strong performance should ensure a trip to Wembley to meet the winner of the Preston versus Sheffield United round. The winner of the Wembley game will gain the third promotion slot.

Reading 1 - 2 Birmingham.
