Reading protest group Sell Before We Dai are hosting an in-person forum for ideas as the group prepare to head into their third year.

Set up in 2023 to bring publicity to the club's issues and try to speed up a sale from Dai Yongge, in-game protests, giant billboards and MP involvement has all come about as a result of the hard work from a group of volunteers.

However, despite putting the club up for sale over a year ago, the club is still in the hands of Mr Yongge and there are fears that players will be sold in January to fund the club.

On Sunday, December 29, supporters are invited to Blue Collar Corner on Hosier Street- the starting point for a mass march over 13 months ago which was attended by thousands of supporters, in order to plan for next year.

The Royals host Mansfield Town at 3pm, with the event starting at 12pm and lasting until approximately 1pm.

This comes just a week after the club's latest stunt, in which billboards were driven to CEO Dayong Pang's home, Mr Yongge's home in London and the Houses of Parliament.

Sell Before We Dai spokesperson Becky Trotman said: “All Reading fans want for Christmas is our football club to survive via a sale. This requires an owner to act in good faith and a CEO to act with competence and transparency. With reports suggesting that Dai Yongge and Dayong Pang haven't been seen at Reading FC for months, we decided to take this message to their homes.

"Though Reading FC's decline under Dai is better suited to Halloween, Christmas is a time for those who have done wrong to see the error of their ways. If Dai and Pang can sell the club without stripping out any more of its soul, they can still come off the naughty list.

"Unfortunately, more than 400 days of non-sale, dishonest communications and discount player sales means our wishlist is likely wishful thinking. As a result, we’ve taken our message to the Houses of Parliament and wider authorities, imploring them to help us force an exit. Football clubs are for life – we cannot allow this to be Reading's last Christmas.”
