Championship leaders Ipswich Town are to be backed strongly when they visit Reading in the Carabao Cup, having received additional tickets.
The Tractor Boys have made an impressive start to life back in the second tier, currently leading the way having only won promotion from League One last season.
Reading's emphatic 4-0 win over Millwall earlier in the month has set up a home tie with Kieran McKenna's men, set for August 28.
Cup fever has not hit supporters for this second-round tie though, with only the Sir John Madejski Stand open for home fans.
🎟 The Club has been allocated a further 941 tickets for next week's Carabao Cup round two clash with Reading.

Tickets will go back on sale at 10am tomorrow morning.#itfc
Ipswich sold their initial allocation of over 1,000 in just days and have been granted an additional 941 tickets in the South Stand.
The club have confirmed that they will ask for yet another increase in allocation should the near 2,000 current total be sold out quickly.
Reading usually offer up to almost 3,000 to away teams in league fixtures, with additional seats provided in the Upper West.
It will be the first meeting between the two sides since March 2019, where a 90th-minute Modou Barrow winner all-but relegated Paul Lambert's Ipswich into League One.
