The Reds are preparing to welcome the Seagulls to Leigh Sports Village for a 17:15 BST kick-off, and Skinner believes our supporters will have their part to play at our ‘fortress’.
“It could be a cliche to talk about home advantage, but it really is a home advantage for us,” he told club media.
“Our fans make it a cauldron for everybody that comes to play us there and that’s why our results are so good.
“We perform because of the energy that we get from our fans.”
The boss believes they have contributed to making LSV a fortress; the Reds have lost just one game at home in all competitions during the current campaign.
