Details:

Founded at the Bridge Street Rooms pub in 1871. Merged with Reading Hornets in 1877 and Earley in 1879. The Royals nickname is a reference to Reading's location in the Royal County of Berkshire. Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British royal family, is located here. A previous nickname, the Biscuitmen, was based on the location of a major biscuit maker in the town. When the company closed down, a competition was held in a local newspaper to determine a new nickname. The Royals came out the winner. The stadium is named for the club's president John Madejski.
