The 2003–04 season was Reading's second consecutive season in the First Division, after promotion from the Second Division in 2002.
Season events At the start of September Reading rejected an approach from West Ham United for Manager Alan Pardew, with Reading subsequently rejecting Pardew's resignation on 10 September, before a High Court ruled in Pardew's favour on 18 September, allowing him to take over as Manager of West Ham United.
On 9 October, Reading appointed Steve Coppell as their new manager.
