As of 10am Wednesday morning, only 116 tickets were remaining for this Saturday's trip to Newcastle.
We have now sold 1,778 seats for our game at St James' Park, and we will be backed by a strong support for this vital fixture in the north east.
Loyal Royals have not been put off by the 610-mile round trip, and our fans have again put in an admirable effort.
All 3,000 tickets for our subsequent away game at Arsenal were sold quickly, and our travelling army are in good form.
Boss Steve Coppell continues to be impressed, and he said, "The fans have given us a great deal of impetus at this critical stage.
"It's really been apparent at home, and at away games the loyal faithful have been punching above their weight in terms of volume and noise.
"It's an indication of how much the local football club means to the people of Reading."
Prices for the game at St James' Park are £30 for adults, £24 for over 65s, £14 for 16 & under, and they are on general sale to all Member Card holders. To book, use the online ticketing service, call 0870 999 1871 or visit in person.
