More than 400 Reading fans made the trip to the Amex Stadium for the EFL Trophy last 16 tie with Brighton and Hove Albion Under-21s, with the Royals crashing out to the youth side on penalties.

Making up half of the total crowd, it was the first trip to the home of the Seagulls since 2017, a 3-0 defeat between two promotion-chasing sides in the Championship.

There were even some famous faces in the crowd, including former striker Sam Baldock and Director of Football Operations, Mark Bowen.

Baldock scored 20 times in 94 appearances for Brighton, before another 11 goals in 74 appearances for Reading, spending seven years of his career in Sussex and Berkshire.
