 | | Reading were elected to the Third Division of the Football League in 1920, and have spent the majority of the time since then in the third tier of the league, with occasional flirtations with the second and fourth tiers. |
 | | They have never played in the top tier of English professional football, although in season 1994/1995 their play-off defeat against Bolton made them the only side to finish second in the First/Second Division and not get promoted to the top level, due to the Premier League reducing its number of teams. |
 | | Their most recent promotion attempt failed in the season of 2002/2003 where Reading finished fourth in the league table, but were beaten by Wolves in the semi-final play-offs. |
