Reading owners in town for meet and greet and firework display against Huddersfield
Reading supporters are being encouraged to arrive early to the match on Saturday for a meet-and-greet with new owners Rob Couhig and Todd Trosclair. The Royals lost 2-0 at Lincoln City on the opening day of the League One season, but the Select Car Leasing Stadium opens its doors for the first time in 2025/26 when Huddersfield Town visit this Saturday. Live on Sky Sports Football and pushed forward to a 12.30pm kick-off, a firework and pyrotechnics display will kick-start the Couhig era in Berkshire from 12.20pm. Ahead of the match, from 11am outside the Sir John Madejski Stand, Couhig and business partner Trosclair will be on the Purple Turtle Stage to meet with supporters. This will come less than 48 hours on from his appearance at a Q&A organised by the Former Players Association which is from 7pm tonight (Thursday) at the Hilton Hotel on Kennet Island. Other fun events on the day include music from DJ Harry, a meet and greet with representatives from Reading FC Women and collectable Royals cups for alcoholic and soft drinks. Supporters are being asked to bring blue and white balloons and wear blue and white shirts to create an impressive visual scene. Speaking ahead of the visit of the Terriers, who beat Leyton Orient 3-0 in their opening match on Saturday, manager Noel Hunt said: "It's a new era at the club- we all know that. You guys have been through some tough times and we've survived it together. You are the ones who kept us going, and hopefully vice versa. "We are rebuilding the club, and the team, and we would love you all to come along and support us. It will be great to see you all on Saturday to get behind the boys. Together, we can achieve great things."

Swansea challenge Lloyd to be Newport's best
Ben Lloyd has been challenged to be Newport County's star man after joining on loan from Swansea City. The 20-year-old midfielder will spend the season with the Exiles and has already made two starts. Lloyd has made just a pair of brief appearances off the bench for Championship side Swansea, but he will now try to follow in the footsteps of Ollie Cooper and Brandon Cooper by heading east to impress in Newport with the League Two side. "He can learn a lot," said Swansea head coach Alan Sheehan. "He's got to go there with the mentality of being the best player. "Yes, he is from a Championship club but he's got to go down there and be the best player, on and off the pitch. "He's got to be a role model, be a good example, show the work ethic and the grit to be a professional footballer and prove himself at that level. "After that you move onto the next level and that's the goal for a lot of young players here." Meanwhile, Newport midfielder Riley Lonergan has joined Cardiff Met on loan. The teenager, who signed a first professional contract in the summer, will get a taste of senior men's football in the Cymru Premier until 12 January. Lonergan is yet to make his Newport first-team debut after being an unused substitute in the League Two game at Fleetwood Town in the penultimate game of last season.
