Match report:
None known.
The weather in Reading was frosty for two days before and on the scheduled date of the game. Between 9am of the date of the game and 9am the following day, the maximum temperature was 36 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Centigrade). It is possible that the match fell foul of the weather - however, it is also possible that the two clubs had changed their plans in advance of the fixture.
What is clear is that there is no record of this game taking place, on either the scheduled date or any other.
Match notes:
If my theory about this game being postponed is correct, then it would almost certainly be the first such casualty in Reading's history.
Match preview:
The only evidence for this game was in the Reading Mercury report on 23/11/1872 of the match between the two sides played at Windsor - the report said that the "return match will be played at Reading on January 29th".
