Royals and Swans in £90m final

Tuesday, 17/05/2011

Reading will play Swansea in the Championship play-off final to see who will get the coveted Premier League place.

The Wembley match on May 30 is said to be worth around £90m to the winners.

If Reading win it will be a return to the top-flight after a three-year absence.

If Swansea are victorious it will see their return to the top-flight after a 28-year absence and a first season in the Premier League.

Reading earned their place in the final with a comprehensive 3-0 two-leg victory over Cardiff. Swansea got there by beating Nottingham Forest 3-1 on aggregate.

Cardiff and Nottingham Forest were again the bridesmaids in the race to the Premier League. Forest went out last season in the semis and Cardiff were beaten in the final by Blackpool.
