Simon Jordan defends Bristol City's stance of opting against Reading's £20 ticket initiative

Simon Jordan has defended Bristol City's stance opting against Reading's £20 away ticket incentive but believes the Championship should follow in the Premier League's footsteps by introducing a cap.

The Royals have written to every club in the second tier, offering away supporters a capped £20 ticket if the price is reciprocated at the opposition ground. In the top flight, Premier League clubs have recently agreed to stick with the £30 cap on away tickets until 2025 with the scheme introduced in the 2016-17 season.

As it stands, five clubs have joined the initiative: Cardiff, Huddersfield, Blackburn, Swansea and Watford. However, City won't be joining the ranks because financially it wouldn't make sense.
