Reading City F.C.

The club was established in 2001 as Highmoor Ibis by a merger of Highmoor and Ibis,[1] both of which were playing in the Reading Senior League, Highmoor in the Senior Division and Ibis in the Premier Division. Ibis had also previously played in the Chiltonian League.[2] The new club took Highmoor's place in the Senior Division and were league champions in 2003–04 without losing a match. They won the Reading Senior Cup in 2005–06, beating Woodley Town 4–1 in the final at the Madjeski Stadium.[3]

After finishing as runners-up in 2006–07 and 2008–09, Highmoor were champions again in 2010–11, earning promotion to Division One East of the Hellenic League.[1] In their first season in Division One East they finished as runners-up and were promoted to the Premier Division. They were Premier Division runners-up in 2014–15.[1] In June 2018 the club were renamed Reading City.[4]

The club played at Scours Lane until 2011 when they were forced to leave to take promotion to the Hellenic League as the ground did not have a stand or floodlights.[5] Instead, the club moved to the Palmer Park Stadium, a general use stadium including a 780-seat stand and an athletics track around the pitch.[6] However, in 2016 the club returned to Scours Lane as the ground had been upgraded to the required standards.[7] The ground was also renamed the Rivermoor Stadium.[8]
