Reading Borough Council has been placed in tier 2 (high alert) from 2nd December after the government national restrictions come to an end on that date. This means that Reading Football Club will be able to allow 2,000 fans to watch upcoming home fixtures.
The first game that fans will be able to attend this season will be the home game against Nottingham Forest on Saturday 5 December. With well over 2,000 fans having paid their retainers for reserved season tickets, the club will have to work out which will be given the chance to watch the team for the first time at home since March 2020.

My understanding is from the 2nd Dec live sporting events can have up to 4000 spectators in tier 1 and 2 areas. 1) is Reading likely to fall in one of these tiers come the 2nd Dec? 2) Will Reading open the doors? 3) How will tickets work?

Won't be returning personally. The travel would be crazy under the circumstances. Hoping I'll still be able to watch on IFollow.

Not sure how many of us have renewed but would go back. I wouldn’t take the bus from Mereoak and would just park at the Stadium. If there’s no stadium parking I may give it a miss.

I travel from Cambridge, it's bonkers to go that far for a game, via trains and the tube, during a pandemic.
