Reading players will subsidise the trip for fans visiting Manchester City on 24 November - partly because of the club's inconsistent start to the season.
The Royals squad, currently 12th in the Premier League, have donated £5,000 to supporters heading to Eastlands.
Reading captain Graeme Murty told BBC Sport: "We know that at the moment we are massively inconsistent.
"It's not easy to justify spending so much money to watch us perform and this is giving something back to the fans."
