 During the 1980s much of RFSC's work and infrastructure (Lottery, refreshments, souvenirs) was taken in-house by the football club though RFSC continued to run the popular Royals Rendezvous Bar on the Tilehurst Road at Elm Park and away travel coaches.When Reading FC moved to the new Madejski Stadium in the south of the town in 1998 the role of RFSC changed substantially.It ceased to have access to a supporters’ bar and it ceased to fund-raise for the football club.
