🗣️ “This is the big work — the sort of renovation you only get to do every 🔟 years.” Week 1️⃣ of our pitch renovation project is complete, and Head Groundsman James Stabler talks us through the scale of work underway in RG2.

WOW—what an achievement! 🎉 We are incredibly proud to share that our Emmbrook School group have been crowned Premier League Inspires Challenge National Champions, competing against 53 clubs from across the country at the National Finals held at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium. Their inspiring idea began as a colour run featuring powerful mental health quotes on the back of T-shirts and developed into a meaningful campaign supporting young people’s mental wellbeing. From designing shirts worn by first team players on matchday—you may have even seen these shirts during the warm-up of the Reading v Cardiff fixture this month—to creating a standout display that captured attention from clubs nationwide, their journey has been exceptional. The girls have demonstrated outstanding creativity, teamwork, and confidence throughout, and we couldn’t be prouder of what they’ve achieved. A truly well-deserved national win! 👏
