Reading FC fans have been warned to stay off the pitch on Saturday if they qualify for the League One play-offs on the last day of the regular season.

The Royals have the chance to make the top six if they are able to defeat Barnsley, but are relying on Leyton Orient to drop points against Huddersfield due to their superior goal difference.

However, the Supporters Trust at Reading have informed fans that they have been in dialogue with the English Football League (EFL) and the FA for clarification and have been warned that there is a chance of a points deduction if fans do invade the pitch.

STAR said: “To avoid any confusion, we reached out to the EFL and FA for clarification re: pitch invasions.

“There IS a chance of getting a points deduction for invading the pitch.

“There Is a chance of getting a criminal record.

“There IS a guarantee that invading the pitch for anything other than promotion, avoiding relegation or protests against tyrannical owners is embarrassing.

“Taking all of the above into account, please don’t invade – whatever the result – on Saturday.

“We don’t want to lose points, get arrested… or be cringe.”

There will be a bumper crowd at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday which is expected to be the highest this season.
