Reading Sell Out West Ham Allocation!

Last updated : 02 September 2003 By Rob Cooper
Reading will have a full compliment of followers for their game at Upton Park, because the club have been successful in selling all 2,531 tickets!

West Ham have something of a 'celebrity' element to them due to their recent Premiership status, hence the quickfire sale. However, it is astounding that all the tickets went within just six days of sale.

Very few tickets were left this morning when the remaining seats went on general sale and they were extremely quickly snapped up.

Following this remarkable feat, Reading will hope to follow suit and quickly sell all their tickets for the Carling Cup game against Oxford United.

The Hammers hope to have a new manager in place for the game, they are currently wading through over fifty application forms. Who will be opposing Alan Pardew in the opposite dug out remains anyone's guess. Make of that sentence what you will.
