Brighton have confirmed that their fans have held talks with Reading about their vacant seats in the Madejski.
The Royals are seeking new fans take up seats in the much lauded, but unpronounceable stadium.
Reading have lost four of their last five league games and have not managed sell out crowds at home. Brighton, second place in the Division Two table, maintain a healthy following and it is hoped the Seagulls fans can bring the same quality support and atmosphere at Withdean to the Madejski.
A statement on Brighton's official website read: "We can confirm that our fans yesterday (Wednesday) had talks with Reading Football Club regarding the vacant seats at the Madejski Stadium.
"However, Albion chairman Dick Knight is doing everything within his power to persuade the fans that their future lies with the Seagulls."
One fan was quoted as saying "We've got a few options, there are a lot of clubs, but if our Chairman retains the current manager I don't see any reason why we'd take up seats elsewhere."
