Reading FC protest group arranges to host in-person forum
Sell Before We Dai, a Reading-based protest group, is organising an in-person discussion for ideas as they enter their third year.
Set up in 2023 to raise awareness of the club’s troubles and try to speed up a sale from Dai Yongge, in-game protests,
big billboards, and MP engagement have all resulted from the efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers.
Despite putting the club up for sale over a year ago, Mr Yongge still owns it, and there are fears that players will be
sold in January to help sustain the team.

Despite putting the club up for sale over a year ago, Mr Yongge remains the owner, and there are concerns that
players will be sold in January to help the team survive.
On Sunday, December 29, supporters are welcome to Blue Collar Corner on Hosier Street, the starting site for a large
march over 13 months ago that drew thousands of people, to organise for the following year.
The Royals host Mansfield Town at 3pm, with the event beginning at 12pm and going until around 1pm.
This comes only one week after the club’s most recent prank, in which billboards were driven to CEO Dayong Pang’s
home, Mr. Yongge’s residence in London, and the Houses of Parliament.
Sell Before We Dai spokesman Becky Trotman stated, “All Reading fans want for Christmas is for our football club to
survive through a sale.” This requires an owner to act in good faith and a CEO to perform competently and
transparently. With reports stating that Dai Yongge and Dayong Pang have not been seen at Reading FC in months,
we decided to deliver this message to their homes.
“Though Reading FC’s slide under Dai is more appropriate for Halloween, Christmas is a time for those who have
made mistakes to see the error of their ways. If Dai and Pang can sell the club without losing any of its soul, they can
still get off the naughty list.
“Unfortunately, after more than 400 days of non-sales, dishonest messages, and discount player sales, our wishlist is
probably wishful thinking. As a result, we’ve taken our message to the Houses of Parliament and other authorities,
begging them to assist us in forcing an exit. Football clubs are for life; we cannot let this be Reading’s last Christmas.
