The Royals welcomed more than 22,000 supporters into the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday as the reigning Europa League champions, Spurs, rolled into town.
Both goals came from players yet to make their first-team debuts for the Lilywhites, namely Will Lankshear and Luka Vuskovic, after the break as new boss Thomas Frank fielded two completely separate sides.
While the afternoon was labelled 'a great exercise' by Hunt and was very clearly a huge success for the club from a commercial perspective, with the highest crowd for over three years set, some queried as to what a League One side stands to gain from hosting a side gunning for Premier League glory.
"We are looking to get fitness, energy, enthusiasm, bravery," Hunt told The Reading Chronicle. "I want them to be brave on the ball and get the first two passes away. We tried to play forward a few times today and were unlucky not to get it through. It’s about not going away from that, playing our game and having our identity. I saw loads of it today and loads we can get better at, but we have two weeks to work on it."
Reading host National League side Slough Town behind-closed-doors tomorrow before the final pre-season friendly of the summer sees Portsmouth visit the SCL Stadium next Saturday.
Tickets went on sale this morning for the first match of the season, a trip to Lincoln City on August 2.
Reading are yet to beat the Imps since their return to the third tier, drawing twice and losing twice. What could be summer signing Paudie O'Connor's full debut could come against the side he captained for two years, arriving from Sincil Bank in June.
