Both nights for former Reading manager Brian McDermott's presentation on mental health, followed by a Q&A session, have sold out.

Announced by popular food outlet Blue Collar Corner, the 2012 Championship-winning manager is back in the town he called home for over a decade after recent revalations revealed his battle with alcoholism and depression.

Originally only a limited event on Tuesday, November 16, the first show sold out within six hours and so a second date- the following day- was added.

Once again, the reaction was incredible and within 24 hours all tickets had been snapped up for the additional date.

The ticket was £13, with 10 per cent of all bar takings going to Mind mental health charity.

The event is part of a new schedule for the popular food outlet, who have recently re-opneed after renovating the site on Hosier Street to have an autumnal vibe.

DJ sets and music nights are hoping to keep the venue busy during winter months.
