Exeter City have taken up the offer of an additional allocation for their mammoth trip to Reading on New Year's Day.
The Grecians, sitting just two places ahead of the Royals in a relegation battle, have never visited the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
Kicking off at 3 pm on New Year's Day, over 800 are making the long trip from Devon to Berkshire, a six-hour round trip after no doubt a late night the evening before to see in 2024.
Don't envy them for that journey on NYD with a steaming hangover. Full credit to them all. Another huge relegation battle #readingfc https://t.co/52CHGf9z64

An additional 200 tickets in the Upper West have been made available, with further increases offered if the demand is there.
More than 1,300 Royals made the trip to St James Park for the 2-1 defeat in August, a first meeting between the sides for 30 years.
Averaging around 12,000, Reading are among the top six for home crowds this year despite sitting second from bottom in League One.
