Cardiff City have sold out their allocation ahead of their 11th hour clash against Reading this Sunday.

With the Premier League promotion race going right down to the final day, Cardiff currently sit in second place in the Championship.

Just the one point separates Cardiff and third-placed Fulham. Warnock and co. need to match or better the Cottagers' result to claim the final automatic promotion spot.

Fulham face a trip to relegation threatened Birmingham City.

With the current amount of tickets sold, the Bluebirds will see themselves smash the record attendance for a league game at the Cardiff City Stadium.

The previous record was broken earlier this season during Cardiff's 1-0 home defeat to league winners Wolverhampton Wanderers, with 29,317 in attendance.

Reading have sold out their initial allocation of 1,605 fans and have been given another 501 seats to fill by Cardiff City. With a total allocation of 2,106 supporters given to the Royals, the Cardiff City Stadium could be close to maximum capacity.

Sean Morrison's double at Hull City saw the Bluebirds move to within touching distance of the Premier League.

Cardiff will better their league-winning points tally from 2012/13 by five points with a victory over the Royals on Sunday. They finished on 87 points when they won the Championship five years ago.
