Originally this League Cup match should have been played in October, whilst 14th February was the date for Reading's home league match against Portsmouth. However the clubs decided to play the League Cup tie today instead, and to do so at Reading. Then because the Farnborough pitch was yet again unplayable, the match was finally switched to Palmer Park.

Trialists Anthony Allman (Charlton Athletic), Craig Etherington (West Ham) and Gary Mcdonald (Havant & Waterlooville) played in this game.

On Friday, 16th February, Reading announced that the result of this cup game would also count in the League!
