A Reading supporter has admitted that he feels no regrets over invading the Madejski pitch to perform somersaults during an FA Cup quarter-final replay against Bradford City.

Last month, Reading's eventual 3-0 win was interrupted by 20-year-old Charlie Sumner, who did four front flips before being led away by stewards.

Despite facing a possible three-year ban from attending Reading matches, Sumner has described his actions as "brilliant".

"After doing it and seeing good comments and messages, even from the away fans, I don't look back and regret it," ITV News quotes Sumner as saying. "Obviously I wouldn't inform other people to do it. It was just spur of the moment.

"It's good to see good feedback and not negative feedback. I'd had a few drinks, I was happy and Reading were winning and I just went for it and had a laugh. It was brilliant."

The result put Reading through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, where they will face holders Arsenal at Wembley.
