Reaching fans at every stage of the matchday journey, First Choice Cabling will reach out to its audience using fan engagement platforms installed throughout the concourse, hospitality, and pitch-facing areas of the Select Car Leasing Stadium, connecting them to ever-growing television audiences and supporters within the 24,000-capacity arena.

“Technology is moving so quickly; it can be difficult for businesses of all sizes to keep up. We provide consultancy and network design services to help organisations future proof their infrastructure, whilst providing end to end support. The Associate Partnership at Reading FC will enable us to share that message regularly with large and small business customers, to help them grow through reliable ICT infrastructure.”
