READING FC will welcome thousands of young fans at the Select Car Leasing Stadium this weekend in the club’s latest schools and grassroots ticket giveaway.

The Royals will be hoping to host a bumper crowd in what will be Noel Hunt’s first game in charge of the team after taking charge until the end of the campaign with the side in vital need of points.

The club has run the campaign all throughout the season to give young children from schools and teams across the county the chance to watch live football.

The scheme has been a resounding success and has cheered the team on to three wins from three with victories over Huddersfield Town in October, Coventry City in December and Blackpool in February.

The final scheme of the campaign will see 11 groups offered the chance to win prizes.

The lucky winners will be given a batch of tickets for Reading v Wigan, a mascot place at a future match and a signed Reading FC football.

The 11 winners will be announced at half-time during the Burnley game on Saturday.

Heading into a tense final five games of the season, the Royals will need all of the support they can possibly muster to try and escape from relegation trouble.

Reading sit in 22nd position, a point behind both Queens Park Rangers and Cardiff City with their future in the Championship in major doubt.

After the club decided to terminate Paul Ince’s contract after the late defeat at Preston, Royals fan favourite and former striker Hunt has been tasked with the job of trying to keep the team in the league.

Hunt now prepares his team to face a Burnley side who are at the top of the table having already won promotion back to the Premier League.

The Clarets now need just four more points to confirm their status as league champions and are also hunting down Reading’s record of 106 points in a season that was achieved in 2005/06.
