READING’S success on the pitch this season has meant they are one of the surprise packages in the Championship, and fans are clamouring to watch Paul Ince’s team in action.
Earlier this month, the English Football League announced it was considering ending its 3pm Saturday blackout – preventing armchair fans from watching the game at home.
It’s a controversial move, but it appears there is demand for the service, which could be offered to Facebook, Netflix, Google, Apple and Amazon to use on their streaming platforms.
Website Footy Accumulators looked at which English Football League sides which are most in demand to watch at home.
The Royals came joint second, behind Burnley. According to its research, 386,000 people are searching for the northern club.
Reading, with 301,000 searches, came joint second with Birmingham City, Portsmouth and Watford.
Other teams in the top 10 were Barnsley, Blackpool, Sunderland, Luton Town, and Middlesbrough.
