THERE was a buzz of excitement around The Oracle shopping centre on Tuesday when hordes of supporters met a Reading FC quartet.

Chris Gunter, Callum Harriott, Ali Al-Habsi and Dominic Samuel dropped in to the club’s town centre store to meet and greet fans.

The four, who were all involved in last Saturday’s 5-0 defeat at Fulham, posed for pictures and took part in a Royals Christmas calendar signing session.

Club partners and shirt-sponsors Carabao also attended the event to promote their range of energy drinks.

The club shop on the ground floor stocks a large range of Royals clothing and merchandise and boasts PlayStation 4 pods so fans can play each other at FIFA 17.

It is also possible to buy match tickets and half-season tickets.
