READING BUSES could lay on matchday services for women’s football games – but only if the demand is there.
Last week, the Lionness won the Euro championships. The squad featured former Reading players Fran Kirby and Mary Earps.
And the team kick off their season on Sunday, September 11, with a game against Liverpool.
It takes place at the Select Car Leasing stadium.
Reading Buses currently runs well-used services for men’s games, but attendance for women’s matches is a lot lower, with average crowds being around 1,000.
The firm said it would be up for helping people get to matches by bus if customers called for it.
“We would love to support women’s football in any way we can, particularly following the amazing success of the England team at the European Championship,” a spokesperson said.
“While we are unable to speculatively start running football buses for Women’s Royals games, we do have an excellent relationship with Reading FC and the team at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
“Should there be demand for football services for these games, we would certainly consider it.”
