Reading have been given a suspended three-point deduction for the abandonment of their match with Port Vale, caused by fans invading the pitch in protest at their owner Dai Yongge. Play was stopped in the 16th minute, with the game eventually called off. The deduction will be activated if the Royals have another game called off because of "disruption" from fans before the end of the 2024-25 campaign. Dai has also been charged for again not meeting a monthly funding deadline. In three seasons, Reading have gone from the Championship to the foot of League One, had 16 points deducted, and had transfer embargoes applied as the club failed to fulfil financial commitments.
