Founders Forever
The Founding 19
Founded 1997. Priced £1,997. The first 19 businesses to join Club 1997 become Founding Members, permanently. Your name on the Founders’ Roll in every matchday programme and on the club website for as long as the club exists, a framed Rockets shirt and founding certificate, and your membership price locked for three seasons. Once the 19 places are gone, they’re gone.
Flexible Access
Not Based in Reading? Your Seats Never Go to Waste
Many member companies are not local, so matchday membership is fully transferable: for any home game, your tickets can be passed to clients of your business who live locally, or to staff based nearby. Your seats work for you at every game, even when you can’t be there yourself.
Why Join
Why Reading Businesses Join
You already spend on networking: chamber events, golf days with strangers, sponsorships nobody sees. This is different. The same Reading and Thames Valley business owners and directors, every home game, in a members’ area where the conversation starts itself because there’s a game on. Two tickets means you bring a client, a prospect or a colleague to every fixture, and three times a season you can invite two extra guests.
