Ref confirmed for Saturday

Ahead of the new Championship season, the referee for the first game against Scunthorpe has been confirmed.

Fred Graham will be the man in the middle and the last Royals game he took charge of was against Newcastle back in April, when we lost 2-1.

He took charge of Scunthorpe against Nottingham Forest, a 2-2 draw, on the final day of last season as well so he will be familiar with the teams.
