Geocache Description:

A Mystery around Reading Football Club - if you're a Reading fan, you'll find this very easy! If not, a little digging will get you there... Urrzzzz!


Reading Football Club were established in 1871 and joined the football league in 1920. They are one of the oldest teams in the football league. 

Nicknamed the Royals (previously The Biscuitmen) they had never reached the top tier of football before this year and to find out the co-ordinates you'll need to find a bit of info about that season to solve it. :) (Fun fact: Did you know that Reading also hold the record as the ONLY team to finish second in the second tier of football and NOT be promoted to the first tier? - points go to the first finder who knows why and what year that was!)

This is my first mystery cache so please go easy on me!)

To find the co-ordinates you'll need to know the answers to the following:

Year of Readings FIRST promotion to the top tier of football (ABCD)

Goals Scored that seasons (EF)

Record breaking Points won that season (GHI)

Captains shirt number that season (J)

Finishing position the following season (K)

Final co-ordinates are at: 

51.25.(F-D) (E-K) (I+G)  000.58.(E-J) (K-H) (F-A)

Final cache is a nano camo tube, maximum stealth required and probably tweezers - you'll need your own pen!

Obviously there is NO cache at first location :)
