Current Season Ticket Holders have until tomorrow to secure their current seat for next season as Season Ticket Applications are currently coming to a close for the time being.Royals Chairman John Madejski has set a target of 10,000.The current number is around the 9,000 mark.

Reading supporters have been making their way down to the stadium as the early prices for renewal of Season Tickets finishes tomorrow before the kick off against Premiership side West Bromwich Albion. The Ticket Office has been packed all day with supporters as they secure a seat for next season.

The question remains which Division the club will be playing in. The Royals have to win their 2 remaining fixtures to stand any chance of getting into the Playoffs.

Royals chairman John Madejski has set a target of 10,000 Season Ticket Holders. The club have reduced prices for the North Stand and for Under 12's and hopefully this will bring in more supporters.

The club are also changing the ticketing system. They'll still be using the smart card system but when you hold your card up against the machine, a light will tell the stewards what match-ticket your on. So if your Over 18 and on a child ticket, the stewards can eject you. You have been warned!

On the subject of tickets, the club are expecting a crowd of 21,000 for tomorrow's game. As well as "Ginger Day" for home supporters and "Viking Day" for the Albion fans, the club will announce the 2003/2004 Reading Chronicle Player of the Season. The favourite is ex Arsenal midfield Steve Sidwell with Greame Murty and Ricky Newman also in the frame.

Remember to vote for the 1871Royals Player of the Season on the current vote!
