Reading Football Club is set to host a special 106 Day celebration this Easter Monday, 6 April 2026, at the Select Car Leasing Stadium to mark the 20th anniversary of the team’s historic 2005-06 Championship-winning season.
The event, which takes place during the club’s fixture against Lincoln City, commemorates the record-breaking campaign in which the team earned 106 points, a total that remains the highest in English Football League history. During that iconic season, the side scored 99 goals and lost only twice, securing promotion to the Premier League for the first time in the history of the club.
To celebrate the milestone, former manager Steve Coppell and a number of players from the 2005-06 squad will be in attendance. Supporters will have the opportunity to see these club heroes in person at the stadium. The celebration arrives during a new chapter for the club following the May 2025 takeover by new owners Rob Couhig and Todd Trosclair, which brought an end to a period of financial and operational uncertainty.
The match itself carries significant stakes for the visitors, as Lincoln City currently lead the League One table. The opposing side requires only one point from the 3pm kick-off to secure their own promotion to the Championship. Fans planning to attend should be aware that the match is expected to be well-attended, with a large number of travelling supporters anticipated.
Established on 25 December 1871, Reading Football Club continues to be a central part of the community. Further information regarding club events and tickets can be found via the STAR Supporters’ Trust.
